TIDMXPP 12 January 2018 XP Power Limited ("XP Power" or the "Company") Trading Update XP Power, one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of critical power control components for the electronics industry, is today issuing a trading update for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2017. Trading The Company had a good finish to the year, in line with the Board's expectations, as the strong order intake reported in the third quarter drove robust revenue growth in the final quarter. Encouragingly, the momentum in order intake continued into the fourth quarter and geographically, both order intake and revenue growth has been strong across all regions. Order intake in the fourth quarter of 2017 was GBP46.8 million, 24% ahead of Q4 2016 on a reported basis or 32% ahead in constant currency. This resulted in order intake for the twelve months ended 31 December 2017 being GBP184.3 million, an increase of 38% over 2016 on a reported basis, or 31% in constant currency. Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017 was GBP43.2 million, 16% ahead of Q4 2016 on a reported basis, or 23% in constant currency. Revenue for the twelve months ended 31 December 2017 was GBP167.0 million, an increase of 29% over 2016, or 22% in constant currency. The trading performance of Comdel was in line with the Board's pre-acquisition expectations, with orders in the fourth quarter of GBP5.8m, 101% ahead of Q4 2016 on a reported basis, or 114% in constant currency. Comdel reported fourth quarter revenue of GBP4.1m, 30% ahead of Q4 2016 on a reported basis, or 30% in constant currency. Integration of the Comdel business into XP Power is proceeding as planned. Orders and revenue for 2017 represent a full year book to bill ratio of 1.11 (2016: 1.03) reflecting the strength of customer demand across the year. Financial Position Following the acquisition of Comdel on 29 September 2017 for US$23.0 million (GBP 17.0 million), net debt at 31 December 2017 was GBP10.1 million, compared with a net cash position of GBP3.6 million at 31 December 2016. Dividend A dividend of 18 pence per share for the third quarter was paid on 11 January 2018, to shareholders on the register at 15 December 2017. The recommended dividend for the fourth quarter of 2017 will be announced with the 2017 final results on 1 March 2018 but is not expected to be less than 28 pence per share, representing a minimum total dividend of 77 pence per share for 2017, an increase of 8% over the total dividend of 71 pence per share paid for 2016. Outlook We are encouraged by the continued strong order intake experienced across the business during the second half of 2017 and the overall book to bill level for the year. We enter 2018 with positive momentum and therefore expect to grow orders and revenue in 2018 above that in 2017.
