RNS Number:1711O Ultra Electronics Holdings PLC 31 July 2003 Embargoed until 0700 31 July 2003 Ultra Electronics Holdings plc ("Ultra" or "the Group") Ultra Acquires Radamec Defence Systems for #6.0m Ultra announces that it has agreed to acquire Radamec Defence Systems Limited (RDS) for a cash consideration of #6.0m. RDS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Radamec Group plc, whose shares are traded on AIM. RDS is a business employing approximately 70 people in Chertsey, Surrey. The company supplies electro optical surveillance, target tracking and weapon control systems. RDS also provides stabilised platforms and high performance military cameras, thermal imagers and laser range finders. The company has contracts to supply its specialist equipment for the UK Navy's new Type 45 destroyer, for the UK Army's new Battle Group Thermal Imager and for a number of export programmes. RDS has strong synergies with Ultra's existing command and control, surveillance and radar capabilities including SML Technologies (SML), the acquisition announced by the Group on 2 July 2003. RDS will become part of Ultra's Information & Power Systems division and the intention is to relocate the business to Ultra's existing site at Loudwater, Buckinghamshire before the end of 2003. The acquisition of RDS will be financed using Ultra's existing facilities. RDS made a loss of #0.4m in 2002 on sales of #3.9m but is expected to increase sales to more than #6.0m in calendar year 2003 with an operating profit of approximately #1.0m. This excludes the cost of relocation which is anticipated to be about #1.0m but which is expected to yield annual savings in excess of #0.5m. The order book at the end of June was #12.7m. Dr Julian Blogh, Chief Executive, Ultra Electronics, commented: "I am very pleased that we have agreed the acquisition of RDS, a company that has an excellent position in the growing defence electronics market. Ultra, with recently acquired SML and now with RDS, can offer a comprehensive range of surveillance and target tracking solutions." - Ends - Enquiries: Ultra Electronics Holdings plc 020 8813 4321 Dr Julian Blogh, Chief Executive www.ultra-electronics.com information@ultra-scs.com Weber Shandwick Square Mile 020 7067 0700 Susanne Walker Notes to Editors: Ultra Electronics is a group of specialist businesses designing, manufacturing and supporting electronic and electromechanical systems, sub-systems and products for aircraft, ships, submarines, armoured vehicles, airports and transport systems worldwide.
