Pre-Close Trading Statement
Fenner PLC today provides an update on trading for the six
months ended 29 February 2012. The Group expects to report its
interim results on 25 April 2012.
Trading in the second quarter of the financial year has
continued to be strong, with operating profit for the first half
significantly ahead of the comparable period last year. Fenner has
experienced positive trading conditions, supported by steadily
growing demand from the mineral extraction/energy sectors, and
market share gains. Operational efficiencies that were seen in the
second half of last year have driven improved margins in both the
Engineered Conveyor Solutions ("ECS") and Advanced Engineered
Products divisions.
The period saw good progress against strategic objectives:
-- The acquisition of Allison Custom Fabrication in December has
further expanded the breadth of our ECS offering in North
America
-- Our ability to support oilfield service customers on a global
basis has been extended by the acquisition of Multiseals
(Singapore) and by the presence of our branch in Brazil
-- Following the acquisition of Transeals we have re-organised
the speciality sealing activities in Australia to offer continent
wide service and an improved presence in the fast growing Western
Australia hydraulic equipment after-market
-- Ongoing capital investments have increased capacity for
strategically important medical textile, and oil and gas products.
Expenditure has also been committed to create additional capacity
and capability for conveyor belt used in mineral extraction.
Net borrowings, after acquisition payments, seasonal outflows
and investments to support growth, are in line with our
expectations.
As the Group enters the second half of its financial year,
healthy order book levels support our expectation of continued
positive trading.
