Costain Group PLC
("Costain" or "the Group")
Interim Management Statement
Costain, the engineering solutions provider, today issues its
Interim Management Statement covering the period from 1 July 2014
to the current date.
The Group is today hosting a visit for investors and analysts to
Paddington and Reading and later to its Maidenhead office. No new
material information will be disclosed.
Update
Following a strong performance in the first half of the year,
Costain continues to perform well and in line with the Board's
expectations.
The Group is benefiting from its unique and well-positioned
strategy, focusing on major customers who are investing billions of
pounds meeting national needs in energy, water and transportation,
and who require solutions to their complex business challenges.
Costain's reputation for developing and implementing innovative
engineering led solutions through a range of integrated services
and the benefits of the successful capital raise of GBP70.3 million
(net of expenses) in March are enabling the Group to continue to
take advantage of the opportunities created by its strategy and to
continue to win significant contracts and extensions.
Additional work won during the period under review,
demonstrating the range of skills and capabilities of the Group,
include:
-- Southern Water's 2015 - 2020 (AMP6) investment programme;
-- Two Smart Motorway Scheme contracts on the M1 for the Highways Agency;
-- Upgrade of the Dimlington gas terminal for Perenco; and
-- Appointment by BAE Systems, as announced separately today, as
one of its framework contractors on the redevelopment of its
submarine site, in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
Order book
The Group's forward order book has increased further since
thehalf-year, and currently stands at a new record level of GBP3.3
billion.
As well as including over GBP900 million of revenues secured for
2015 (2013: over GBP700 million secured for 2014), the order book
also provides good long-term visibility with over GBP2.2 billion of
revenues secured for 2016 and beyond.
In addition to the record order book, the Group has a strong
preferred bidder position of over GBP400 million, and the level of
tendering activity across all its target markets remains high.
The increasingly strategic nature of our long-term customer
relationships has ensured that over 90% of the order book comprises
repeat business and is in target cost, cost reimbursable,
collaborative forms of contract providing increased visibility over
long-term margins at lower risk.
Financial position
The Group has a robust financial position with a strong net cash
position in line with expectations.
Outlook
The Group is on track to deliver a result for the current year
in line with the Board's expectations and, with a record order
book, strong cash position and high level of tendering activity, is
well positioned to deliver growth over the medium term.
