Trading Update and Board Change
KBC is pleased to announce the following trading update in
relation to the full year results for the 12 months ended 31
December 2013 that will be announced during March 2014.
Following a strong first half, good operational and financial
progress was maintained in the second half. Investment in key
growth markets continued with new hires and contract awards in the
FSU, Middle East, China and SE Asia. As a consequence, the Board
anticipates that results for the year to 31 December 2013 will be
slightly ahead of management's expectations.
2014 has started strongly and we are confident that the
operational changes implemented over the past year position the
Company well for the current year and beyond.
KBC also announces that Caroline Brown, Director and Chief
Financial Officer of KBC, will be stepping down from the Board and
leaving the Group in early April 2014, after the release of KBC's
audited financial results, in order to pursue other business
interests. The Company will shortly commence a search for a new CFO
and has a transition plan in place until a suitable replacement is
found.
The Board would like to thank Caroline for her significant
contribution to the progress KBC has made during her time with the
Company, which has included a strong improvement in trading, a
swift and effective cost restructuring exercise, a large-scale
investment in KBC's fiscal and operating structure and enhanced
investor relations. We wish Caroline every success in the
future.
