"HL comment (21 May 2015)

The defence group's full year results saw a 7% increase in adjusted or underlying profit before tax reported (£107.8 million from £101.2 million). The company's orders grew by 3% to £613.6 million, with the group's EMEA Services highlighted as delivering a "strong" performance. A £150 million share buyback programme remains ongoing, whilst a 17% increase in the full year dividend was declared.

Highlights:
•Strong performance in EMEA Services with increased orders, revenue and operating profit.
•Core Air, Weapons and Maritime businesses all performed well.
•New President appointed to lead repositioning of US Global Products in response to a challenging market.
•Continued high cash conversion.
•£150 million share buyback well advanced; £128 million complete at 15 May 2015.
•17% increase in full year dividend reflecting upgrade at the half year and progressive dividend policy. The Board proposes a final dividend of 3.6 pence (2014: 3.2 pence) making the full year dividend 5.4 pence (2014: 4.6 pence).
•77% revenue under contract at start of full year 2016 consistent with prior year; balance supported by pipeline of opportunities.
•Maintaining expectations for Group performance in the current financial year.

Chief Executive Comment:
"In my first few weeks at QinetiQ I've been impressed with the expertise of our people, as well as our capabilities and technologies, all of which are well matched to the dynamics in our markets. It's a company with great potential and I look forward to working with our customers to develop and grow QinetiQ to meet their changing needs."

Outlook:
Management comment "Given the opening backlog position, expectations for the performance of EMEA Services in the current financial year are unchanged. In Global Products, newer products are recording notable milestones and the amount of revenue under contract at the start of full year 2016 is up slightly on a year ago, but the drawdown of American overseas military forces is continuing to depress demand for conflict-related products. In balancing the market uncertainties with the strength of the Group's operations, the Board is maintaining its expectations for Group performance in the current financial year."

Has fallen back from slightly higher previously.

QQ. and BA. make up 7.5% of portfolio.

Defence cut-backs but the world is still a very troubled place.

Still holding both for (hopefully) growing divis.

FY results out - looks like we got out too early. I just sold another 3rd at 229 ; still think price won't sustain.

Ttg I think our recent buys have been well timed. I decided to take some profits today. A post election surge to 210 will do me as I doubt the rise will sustain. Sold a third.

That may have been well timed ; I may join you tomorrow , but I am not enthralled with buying QQ close to an all time high on the FTSE100. I think I will try to squeeze a few more pence out of it .

The preclose statement today merely reaffirms previous guidance but has produced a rise in the share price ; not sure what the market expected?

Q3 are "in line" , though I have forgotten what they are in line with!
Market seems to like them as the share price has crawled out of the nadir of 182 to the dizzy heights of 193

QinetiQ Group plc

Third Quarter Interim Management Statement

QinetiQ Group plc ('QinetiQ') today issues its Interim Management Statement covering the period from 30 September 2014 to date and reaffirms previous guidance for Group performance in the full year to 31 March 2015 despite the continuing challenging markets.

CEO succession

On 27 January 2015, the QinetiQ Board announced the appointment of Steve Wadey as its new Chief Executive Officer. Mr Wadey, who is currently the Managing Director of MBDA UK, will join QinetiQ on 27 April 2015.

EMEA Services

EMEA Services is performing well and has a high level of contracted revenue for the final quarter despite the uncertainty in UK defence markets resulting from the current MOD transformation programme. Each of the 'Core' Air, Weapons and Maritime businesses delivered a strong performance, and the 'Explore' businesses continue to make progress, with Cyber Security awarded a new GBP3m contract to deliver secure hosting and secure monitoring services for a major financial institution. The division's unique strengths are also transferable to other geographies and during the period an office was established in Ottawa to meet the anticipated demand for tender assessment, cost and risk advisory services from the Canadian Government.

Global Products

The performance of Global Products continues to be impacted by reduced funding for US military operations which has depressed demand for conflict-related products. In January, Jeff Yorsz joined from Northrop Grumman to lead the repositioning of the US Global Products business with a greater focus on contract-funded research and development, 'programs of record' and non-defence markets. UK product sales are providing a partial offset, with the business winning further orders for its C4ISR solutions and an initial contract for the Canadian Department of National Defence. In addition, although adoption of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for well completion is being impacted by the low oil price, the OptaSense DAS business continues to make progress with applications for seismic profiling and flow monitoring, and in other markets. OptaSense recently won GBP4m of orders for pipeline monitoring driven by security concerns particularly in the Middle East, and has entered into a two-year partnership with Siemens for road traffic monitoring.

Balance Sheet

Cash generation was as expected during the third quarter. A GBP150m share buyback was initiated on 28 May 2014. By 6 February 2015, the Group had bought back 43m shares at a cost of GBP87m.

Outlook

EMEA Services' performance is expected to remain steady this year despite the MOD transformation programme and the changes to the budgetary environment resulting from the upcoming UK General Election and subsequent Strategic Defence and Security Review. Together, these will create some short-term uncertainty but also provide opportunities for EMEA Services to build on its strong record of delivering 'more for less.'

At the same time there remains a range of possible outcomes for the performance of Global Products in the current year as the division has a lumpy revenue profile which is dependent on the timing and shipment of key orders. Although newer products are recording notable milestones, the drawdown of American overseas military forces is continuing to depress demand for conflict-related products.

Overall, the Board's expectations for Group performance in the current financial year are unchanged despite continuing challenging markets.

Xd 1.8p this morning - a well hidden piece of info , it is not even on the Company's own financial calendar on their website.
The buybacks continue steadily , not that it seems to be boosting the share price , as it touchs a 2 yr low.

I love the way the market reacts to things that seem to have little relevance to an individual companies fortunes. Picked up some more of these for 184 , and I suspect a year on that no-one will remember why the price fell this week.

184 will see me add again. Currently at 1 yr low. The reasons seem multifactorial and I suspect temporary.
