Trading outlook unchanged and new reporting structure
The Vitec Group plc ("Vitec" or "the Group"), the international provider of products and solutions for the broadcast and photographic markets, announces that recent trading has been in line with its expectations. It also announces that it is transitioning its structure from reporting under two to three Divisions from 1 January 2018.
Trading outlook
-- Trading for the four months ended 31 October 2017 was in line with our expectations.
-- The Photographic Division performed well and the market continues to show signs of recovery.
-- In the Broadcast Division, our traditional business benefitted from sales of new products, including the Flowtech tripod, and, as expected, our US studio business has had a stronger second half to date, despite challenging market conditions. Our higher technology business continued to grow and the integration of RTMotion is going well.
-- The Board's expectations for the year ending 31 December 2017 remain unchanged.
Portfolio refinement
The JOBY and Lowepro brands were acquired from the DayMen Group in September. The business is performing to plan and is being successfully integrated into the Photographic Division.
Recent changes in the portfolio, including the acquisitions of JOBY, Lowepro and RTMotion, and the disposals of Haigh-Farr and Vitec Broadcast Services ("Bexel"), position the Group well to deliver increased margins.
Net debt
Net debt at 31 October 2017 was GBP48.3 million (30 June 2017: GBP52.6 million) and reflects strong year-to-date cash generation and net proceeds from the disposal of Bexel in August. This was offset by GBP13.0 million of investment in acquisitions, and working capital related to the JOBY and Lowepro acquisition.
New three divisional reporting structure
For results from 1 January 2018, Vitec will report as three distinct Divisions - Imaging Solutions, Production Solutions and Creative Solutions - to reflect a changing customer base, and to give greater focus to the fast-growing Independent Content Creator Market. 2016 comparator information will be disclosed prior to the 2017 full year results announcement.
Full year results
Vitec is scheduled to release its full year results announcement on 22 February 2018.
