Trading Update – 4 Dec 2007<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weir</strong> <strong>Group</strong> PLC today issues the following trading update in respect <strong>of</strong> the 52 weeks ending 28 December 2007.<br />
In the second half, the <strong>Group</strong>’s financial performance has been strong as a result <strong>of</strong> better than expected revenue growth reflecting continued strong<br />
market conditions across the mining, oil and gas and power sectors.<br />
Revenue for the 44 weeks to 2 November 2007 was 15% ahead on a like for like constant currency basis. Additionally, revenues <strong>of</strong> around £55m were<br />
recognised by SPM for the 15 week post acquisition period to 2 November 2007.<br />
As a result, we now expect pr<strong>of</strong>it from continuing operations before tax, intangibles amortisation and exceptional items to be around the upper end <strong>of</strong><br />
current Reuters market estimates.<br />
Divisional Trading Comment<br />
Engineering Products<br />
In the 18 week period to 2 November 2007, the Engineering Products Division (excluding SPM) has achieved good levels <strong>of</strong> growth in order input,<br />
revenue and pr<strong>of</strong>it leading to continued improvement in underlying operating margins when compared to 2006.<br />
<strong>The</strong> integration <strong>of</strong> SPM is proceeding well. Year to date revenue is ahead <strong>of</strong> initial expectations and we now expect revenue for calendar year 2007 to<br />
be around $350m. Operating margin remains broadly in line with expectations as outlined in our acquisition announcement.<br />
Engineering Services<br />
As anticipated, revenue for the 18 week period to 2 November 2007 is broadly in line with 2006. As a result <strong>of</strong> the 2006 restructurings undertaken in<br />
the Middle East, USA and UK pr<strong>of</strong>itability has, however, improved over the same period.<br />
Defence, Nuclear & Gas<br />
<strong>The</strong> Defence, Nuclear and Gas Division performed in line with expectations. Operating pr<strong>of</strong>it for the 18 week period to 2 November 2007 is consistent<br />
with the prior year period.<br />
Outlook for 2008<br />
Further progress across all divisions is anticipated in 2008 as a result <strong>of</strong> the continuing level <strong>of</strong> input growth in 2007 and the inclusion <strong>of</strong> SPM for a full<br />
year.<br />
Footnote:<br />
1. <strong>The</strong> range <strong>of</strong> analysts’ forecasts on Reuters Knowledge Consensus at 29 November 2007 for Continuing Operations pr<strong>of</strong>it before tax, intangibles amortisation and<br />
exceptional items was £105.5m to £114.5m with a consensus <strong>of</strong> £110.1m.<br />
2. Like for like revenue growth refers to the comparison <strong>of</strong> current year results to the equivalent prior year period for those businesses that have been part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Group</strong><br />
throughout the current and prior year reporting period, on a constant currency basis.<br />
3. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Group</strong> expects to publish its preliminary results for the year ended 28 December 2007 on 11 March 2008.<br />
