Serco Group plc - Further re: Trading Update
Serco notes the movement in its share price following its earlier announcement
and subsequent meeting with Analysts today and can confirm that it will be
taking a restructuring charge of �4.5m during the first half of 2003 relating
to the business reorganisation and relocation that was undertaken earlier in
the year.
In addition and unrelated, a similar level of profit will be derived from a
sale and lease back of Great Southern Railway carriages in Australia. This
transaction has also generated �5.5m of cash.
After taking account of these items and as previously stated, Serco remains
confident of achieving double-digit growth for this year and the longer term.
