Northbridge Industrial Services PLC
26 May 2016
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 26 May 2016
Northbridge Industrial Services Plc
AGM Statement
Northbridge Industrial Services Plc ('Northbridge' or 'the Group'), the industrial services and rental company, issues the following trading update ahead of its Annual General Meeting to be held later today at 12.00 noon.
As noted in the preliminary results on 18 April 2016, market conditions in the Oil & Gas industry have shown no signs of any improvement in activity so far this year. Sentiment and activity levels continue to be weak with a backdrop of cutbacks in investment, closures and project delays, all of which impact on Northbridge's trading performance.
Northbridge's business model is focused mainly towards rental of equipment and the Group has high operational gearing, which is coupled with a strong cash flow and a conservative depreciation policy. Despite continuing trading losses, EBITDA remains strongly positive and the net debt position will continue to amortise rapidly during 2016 and 2017.
Northbridge's balance sheet remains strong and the Group has a substantial portfolio of rental assets and all of our main locations remain intact and in operation. Our recent GBP5.5 million equity fundraising has further strengthened our cash resources considerably and gives us the flexibility to address current challenging markets and to take advantage of opportunities which may arise when conditions allow.
Whilst short term trading visibility remains challenging, it is still too early to forecast any material changes to the likely full year out turn. In maintaining the size and scope of our hire fleet, and with substantial reductions in our overhead costs, our operational gearing has increased and our performance will be highly sensitive to modest improvements in revenue. We remain optimistic that Northbridge will benefit from this strengthened position when market conditions begin to improve, but we believe this will be unlikely before 2017.
