Trading Update
Senior plc ("Senior" or "the Group"), an international manufacturer of high technology components and systems, principally for the worldwide aerospace, defence, land vehicle and energy markets, issues this trading update for the nine months ended 30 September 2016.
Group Performance for the Nine Months ended 30 September 2016
Group revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 increased by 7% to GBP682.2m (2015: GBP638.0m). This included a favourable exchange rate impact of GBP48.0m and a beneficial incremental impact from acquisitions of GBP26.1m. Underlying Group revenue from organic operations was down 4% on a constant currency basis as growth from the Aerospace Division (up 2%) was offset by lower Flexonics revenue (down 18%) due to weaker truck and off-highway, and oil and gas markets.
Adjusted profit before tax(1) decreased by 18% to GBP58.5m (2015: GBP71.6m).
Net debt at the end of September was GBP222.7m, as expected this was higher than at the end of June due to an anticipated increase in working capital, continued investment in capital expenditure in support of organic growth, as well as adverse currency impacts.
Third Quarter Performance: Markets & Divisions
In the Aerospace Division, activity in the large commercial aircraft and regional jet markets increased with the ramp-up in production of the A320neo, A350 and CSeries, albeit as we progressed through the third quarter, as widely reported, the increase was slower than previously anticipated. Activity in the business jet market continued to decline.
As previously reported, bid activity for new business remains high and important wins were secured in the third quarter for our Structures business on the 777X and A320neo; however, the performance of the Aerospace Division in the third quarter was below expectations due to slower than anticipated ramp-up of new production programmes. The Division's performance has also been impacted by certain supplier issues which have impacted some of our US and UK operations. These issues are currently being addressed and are largely expected to be resolved by the end of the year. Further, the Division has also been affected by some programme specific price increase discussions not yet concluding and discussions are continuing with customers to bring these to resolution.
Activity in the Flexonics Division continued to reflect the challenging market conditions in truck and off-highway and oil and gas markets. In particular, activity and the outlook for North American heavy truck production worsened in the third quarter, resulting in a further deterioration in the Division's performance. The Flexonics Division continues to focus on short-term cost management actions and good progress has been made in the third quarter with projects to transfer production to new facilities in cost competitive countries.
Outlook
Whilst the Board anticipates some improvement in the fourth quarter over the third quarter, the Group's performance for the full year 2016 is expected to be lower than previously anticipated.
Looking further ahead, the Group remains well positioned for the future with Aerospace production programmes continuing to ramp-up and many new business opportunities in discussion with key customers. In Flexonics, despite the challenging conditions, we have continued to secure positions on new programmes and platforms, and therefore are well positioned to resume growth when markets recover.
The 2016 full year results will be announced on Monday 27 February 2017.
