Trading Update

Ahead of its Annual General Meeting today, TT Electronics ("TT" or the "Group"), a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, publishes this trading update for the four months to the end of April 2017.

Trading has been in line with our expectations overall. The Group's revenues are 10% higher than the prior year and 1% higher on an organic(1) basis.

The Group's order book is strongly ahead of the prior year, giving us better visibility of the outturn for 2017 and reflecting a continuation of the momentum from the end of 2016. The development of our order book demonstrates that our strategy to position ourselves in structural growth markets where there is increasing electronic content is delivering results.

During the period, we acquired the assets of Cletronics, Inc., a small US based manufacturer of electromagnetic components for the aerospace industry, for $1.2 million on a cash and debt free basis. The acquisition will help to accelerate the strategy for our power electronics capabilities in North America.

Summary and Outlook

Commenting on the trading statement, Richard Tyson, Chief Executive Officer said:

"It has been a good start to the year with continued organic growth and an improving order book supporting our confidence of making further progress in 2017. Our strategy to position ourselves in structural growth markets where there is increasing electronic content is delivering results."
