Q1 TRADING UPDATE: STRONG START TO FY 2022
Diploma PLC, the international group distributing specialised products and services, today issues a trading update for the three months ended 31 December 2021 ahead of the Company's AGM today at 2:00pm.
First quarter performance
Performance in the first quarter of the year has been strong, as expected:
-- Underlying revenue growth was 16% driven by our organic revenue initiatives and continued strong demand.
-- All Sectors have started the year well:
o Controls: very strong growth across the Sector, with successful end segment diversification and a continued excellent contribution from Windy City Wire.
o Seals: strong, broad-based growth and we are starting to see market share gains in North American Aftermarket.
o Life Sciences: a positive performance, with underlying revenue growth moderated in the first half, as expected, by one-off COVID-related revenues in the prior year.
-- Reported revenue growth was 28%, reflecting the net contribution from acquisitions and the two small disposals completed last year. We remain disciplined in our approach to acquisitions and our pipeline is encouraging.
-- We continue to expect underlying growth to moderate as the year progresses and comparators become more demanding. Similarly, growth in the quarter also benefited from the pass through of higher year-on-year copper prices, which added ca. 5% to underlying growth.
-- Our operating margin is in-line with expectations, with a continued focus on managing supply chain pressures and tight labour markets.
Strategy
Our performance demonstrates the benefits of our long-term strategy of building high-quality, scalable businesses for organic growth. We are focused on diversification of our businesses as a route to scale, capitalising on structurally growing end markets, increasing penetration of core geographies, and expanding our product capability. We continue to develop our value-added business model in order to successfully execute our customer proposition at scale while sustaining attractive margins.
Outlook positive and unchanged
While it is still early in FY 2022, our strong first quarter performance increases our confidence in delivering our full year guidance. We remain very positive about our prospects, and are well-positioned to deliver attractive long-term growth at sustainably high margins.
Our next scheduled update will be the publication of half year results on 16 May 2022.
