MANROY PLC
MAJOR CONTRACT AWARDS UPDATE
Manroy Plc ("Manroy" or the "Group"), the AIM quoted leading UK Defence Contractor, is pleased to announce that it has received new contract orders totalling GBP8.7m from existing customers within Asia, Europe and the UK.
Included as part of these contracts is the award of a major order for GBP7.6m from an existing customer in Asia. In addition, this GBP7.6m contract, which is subject to normal license approval, involves the placing of an intra-group order to Manroy USA for approximately GBP5.0m. The balance of the new contracts is made up from several smaller but nonetheless significant export orders totalling GBP1.1m.
In addition, following the recent completion of its acquisition of Base (Manroy) Limited, further details of which were announced on 1 March 2013, the Group is pleased to announce that key elements of these new orders are now capable of being manufactured in-house.
These new contracts increase the Group's order book to approximately GBP19m, more than 70% above the GBP11m announced on 4 February 2013. This compares with total revenue for the Group during the year ended 30 September 2012 of GBP7.4m. The Board anticipates that circa half of the Group's current order book will be delivered during the current financial year.
Glyn Bottomley, Manroy's Chief Executive, said:
"These major orders are the result of high customer confidence in Manroy following successful delivery of previous orders. They are a testament to the hard work of everyone within the Company and they take the Manroy order book to a new record level. These are exciting times for everyone involved at Manroy, and we look forward to making further positive announcements during the coming months."
Ends.
