Press Release 15 January 2018
Judges Scientific plc (the "Group" or "Judges")
Trading Statement and Notice of Final Results
EPS expected to be ahead of current market expectations
The Board of Judges Scientific, a group involved in the buy and build of scientific instrument businesses, updates shareholders and the market on the Group's trading performance for the financial year ended 31 December 2017.
The positive demand for our products, observed since June 2016, was sustained throughout 2017 with organic* order intake increasing 16% over the prior year. As a result, the Group enters 2018 with a robust order book totalling 14.9 weeks of sales compared to 13.9 weeks on 1 January 2017.
For the year as a whole, the two businesses that had experienced lower demand in 2016 recovered to normal levels of orders, sales and profitability. The business which had been affected by production and supply chain problems has made progress, particularly in the last four months of the year.
Group sales and profits were driven forward by the healthy order intake and the very favourable exchange rates. Consequently, the Board anticipates that EPS for the full year ended 31 December 2017 will be ahead of current market expectations.
Judges expects to announce its full year results for the year ended 31 December 2017 on 20 March 2018.
* Organic includes those businesses owned by the Group prior to 1 January 2016
