MOLINS PLC INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
Molins, PLC, the international specialist engineering group, is
holding its Annual General Meeting today and is issuing its interim
management statement covering the period from 1 January 2012, the
start of the Company's financial year, to date.
Order Intake in each of the Group's three divisions is ahead of
the same period last year. Sales in the first part of the year are
at broadly similar levels to last year and are in line with
internal plans. Performance has also been broadly in line with
expectations to date. As previously stated, the Group tends to
perform more strongly in the second half of the year and this is
still expected to be particularly pronounced this year.
The Food & Drug Administration, which regulates tobacco
products in the USA, published draft guidance at the end of March
2012, with a 60 day period for comment, setting out its reporting
requirements for tobacco products for 2012 and the early part of
2013- The Group has continued to invest in its laboratory
capabilities in order to meet prospective growth in activity
levels, which brings with it a cost in the short-term, but also a
strong commercial opportunity. The board continues to anticipate a
small degree of activity increase in the Scientific Services
division in the second half of the year sufficient to absorb the
increased costs and the business will continue to respond to the
market opportunity as it develops.
The board's expectation of Group performance in the year remains
unchanged. There has been no significant change in the financial
position of the Group since 31 December 2011.
