03/8/2005 09:33 | Upbeat outlook at Halma an ADVFN competitor Safety, health and environmental technology group, Halma, said trading during the first quarter has been encouraging. It said sales and orders are ahead of last year and to date, currency effects have been broadly neutral compared with a significant adverse impact in the previous year. In a statement ahead of today's annual general meeting chairman Geoff Unwin said the board is cautiously optimistic for the year ahead and that trading remains within the range of current market expectations. Unwin said progress is being made across the group driven by organic growth and contributions from last year's acquisitions. Strategic and operational action to position the group for higher growth in the longer term continues and the benefits from these actions should begin to emerge during the second half, Unwin added. Halma's recent acquisition of Netherlocks Safety Systems BV has contributed to existing momentum in Process Safety but Elevators and Doors and certain specialist businesses have continued to experience sluggish market conditions, Unwin said. | grevis | |

19/7/2005 12:32 | Halma PLC 19 July 2005 HALMA p.l.c. ('Halma') ACQUISITION OF NETHERLOCKS SAFETY SYSTEMS B.V. Halma, the leading safety and environmental technology group, announces that on 19 July 2005 it completed the acquisition of Netherlocks Safety Systems B.V. ('Netherlocks') based in Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands. The vendors of the company are Jacqal B.V., Wolgeest B.V. and Krissan Projects B.V. The purchase price includes an initial cash consideration of 3 million (£2.07 million), to be funded from Halma's current cash resources. Additional payments of up to 7 million (£4.8 million) are conditional on profit growth over the current and following financial year. Unaudited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2004 show that Netherlocks generated profit before tax of 742,000 (£512,000) on sales of 2,706,000 (£1,866,000). Founded in 1993, Netherlocks is globally active in the process interlocking, valve control and machine guarding markets. The business is particularly well positioned to benefit from the significant growth opportunities in the petrochemical sector, one of its key markets. Andrew Williams, Halma's Chief Executive, commented: 'The addition of Netherlocks will provide us with further strength in a growing market for our Process Safety business. Making bolt-on acquisitions of this nature, which increase our product range and distribution capability, remains an important element of our Group Strategy.'

Its six business divisions cover the development and supply of visual warning systems, toxic gas and smoke detectors, electronic alarm systems and water leakage detectors. Recent deals have taken the company into medical tests that show some promise. The company has no debt and good dividend growth Halma at new record Date: 21 June 2005 LONDON (ShareCast) - Engineer and fire safety products specialist Halma reported another record year despite difficult trading conditions and an adverse currency and raw material hit of £2.5m.

Resistors and water had a difficult year, chairman Geoff Unwin said, though other sectors held their own or were better. 'Overall, despite little fundamental help from our markets, we remain cautiously optimistic for the year ahead,' he added. The dividend for the year goes up by 5% to 6.5p. | grevis | |

02/7/2005 12:51 | 21/06/05 08:10 Dollar woes hit Halma Halma said it remains 'cautiously optimistic' on the current year, as the British maker of safety devices such as gas and fire detectors reported flat annual profits, crimped by the weak dollar. In the year ended April 2 pretax profit before exceptionals and goodwill inched to £50.4m from £50.3m. Sales from continuing operations climbed 7% to £299m, boosted by the acquisitions of Ocean Optics and Diba in the year. The company, which makes around a third of its sales and profits in the dollar, said in April profit would be flat. Analysts at ABN Amro were expecting pretax profit of £50.4m, on sales of £290.5m. Halma said the total currency impact sliced £10 from turnover and £1.6m from profit. Halma has been struggling to lift sales across its divisions, which includes elevator and door safety, high power electrical resistors and optics in the face of price transparency over the internet and deflation through lower manufacturing costs. The total dividend was raised 5% to 6.5p, payable from earnings of 7.97p a share, up from 6.09p last time. 'Actions to reposition the group for higher growth will continue both operationally and structurally,' CEO, Andrew Williams, who took the helm in February, said. 'I am looking for greater consistency of performance across the group to deliver the sustained organic growth which provides valuable returns for shareholders.' Financial analysts have suggested the company may need to carry out further acquisitions to drive growth. The two purchases in its optics and specialist sector last year are performing ahead of its expectations, the company said today. The division posted 12% underlying profit growth across the year. Its biggest unit, which makes fire and gas sensors, posted record sales in fiscal 2005, with profits slightly ahead. Profit and sales rose marginally at its elevator and door unit, as US voice communication equipment sales fell significantly. BEA, its door safety business, performed slightly better in the second half than flagged at the interim stage, Halma said. Its water business has been positioned for better future growth, the company said, while margins at its resistor business came under 'intense pressure' from stainless steel price increases. 'Vigorous action' has been taken since year end and two sites have already been consolidated, it added. | grevis | |
02/7/2005 12:47 | Well said superjock. Halma is now at the bottom end of its trading range. It peaked at 1.69p in January and hit a low of 140p a few weeks ago, due to a falling dollar. As Halma derives a large percentage of its profits from the US, strengthening of the dollar should now be earnings enhancing. | grevis | |
01/7/2005 13:28 | At last it seems people are seeing the value in this share. | superjock |
