Robinson plc ("Robinson" or "the Group"; stock code: RBN), the custom 
manufacturer of plastic and paperboard packaging based in Chesterfield, 
announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2009. 
 
Highlights: 
·           Profit before tax GBP0.7m (2008: GBP1.3m) 
·           Operating profit before exceptional items and depreciation GBP1.8m 
(2008: GBP2.2m) 
·           Revenue reduced by 9% to GBP23.4m (2008: GBP25.8m), mainly due to 
market weakness in the first half; revenues recovered in the second half 
·           Net borrowings decreased to GBP2.9m (2008: GBP3.7m) 
·           The Group's pension fund remains in a healthy surplus although the 
pension credit in the income statement has decreased by GBP0.7m

1.75p per share 
Commenting on the results, Chairman, Richard Clothier said: 
 
"We are pleased to be able to report a recovery in our markets following 
destocking in the second quarter of 2009. Stronger revenues in the second half 
produced a net profit and positive cash flow for the year. The current year has 
started slowly, as it did last year, but we are confident that unless market 
conditions deteriorate significantly then we will be able to make further 
progress in 2010 and resume the growth that the company began to show in 2008."

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 
 
After good progress in 2008, the outcome for 2009 was disappointing. A sharp 
drop in revenue occurred during the second quarter of the year as a consequence 
of our customers reacting to the general economic outlook by reducing their 
stockholding and, as a result, the first half was 15% below the same period in 
2008. 
 
I am pleased to report, however, that in the second half revenues recovered to 
only slightly below the previous year. In the face of a 9% drop in sales for the 
year as a whole, profit held up disproportionately well.  Profit before tax for 
the year was GBP0.7m, a reduction from GBP1.3m in 2008 but it is important to 
point out that this includes a GBP0.7m lower notional pension finance credit and 
a negative swing of GBP0.7m due to exchange rate movements. 
 
The compensating positive effects were a further improvement in gross margins 
and an underlying reduction in operating costs. 
 
Revenue 
Group revenue reduced by 9% on the previous year as a result of destocking and 
lower polymer prices.  North American revenues fell by 49% due to several large 
cosmetics customers who were holding substantial stock overhang from 2008 and 
whose own sales, mainly in the toiletries sector, were very weak. Central 
European revenues increased by 29% (41% in local currency terms) as we benefited 
from the full year effect of business transferred from the UK together with new 
business gained. 
 
Profitability 
Profit before tax was GBP0.7m (2008: GBP1.3m).This result was influenced by the 
following significant factors: 
·     the gross margin improved from 18% to 20% of revenues.  This is 
attributable to better management of the customer mix, lower direct costs 
(notably electricity and transport), and lower polymer prices 
·     an overhead cost reduction of GBP0.4m was offset by GBP0.7m currency 
exchange effect resulting in an operating cost increase of GBP0.3m 
·     the notional finance income in respect of the pension fund reduced by 
GBP0.7m to GBP0.4m as a consequence of moving the fund from equities to bonds 
during 2008 
·     exceptional profits on the sale of property of GBP0.2m were offset by 
redundancy costs incurred at Chesterfield and Kirkby 
Cash & Finances 
Capital expenditure on new plant and machinery of GBP0.8m (2008: GBP1.0m) was 
low in relation to the depreciation charge of GBP1.5m (2008: GBP1.6m). The sale 
of surplus properties yielded GBP0.4m whilst working capital levels remained 
constant resulting in positive cash flows which enabled a reduction in net 
borrowings from GBP3.7m to GBP2.8m. 
 
Dividends 
The interim dividend was cut from 1.5p to 1.0p per share following the 
announcement of the first half results. At that stage the Board was mindful of 
the need to conserve cash given the sudden drop in sales and the considerable 
uncertainty as to the future economic climate. However, with an improvement in 
our recent performance, the Board proposes an unchanged final dividend of 1.75p 
per share to be paid on 7 June 2010 to shareholders on the register at the close 
of business on 21 May 2010. 
 
Outlook 
So far this year market conditions have been stable for most of our customers. 
We are conscious of the possible effects of the economy and Government policy on 
our costs and on consumer demand but as the Group is mainly exposed to the food, 
drink and toiletry sectors we do not expect our sector to be greatly affected. 
Our progress so far is in line with the Board's expectations, including 
significantly improved revenues in Europe. 
 
The Board is reviewing the strategic importance and viability of its North 
American operation in Toronto and is seeking ways of strengthening its European 
business. We expect the Central European business based in Poland to show 
further growth in 2010.

Notes to the financial statements 
 
1.   Basis of preparation 
 
The consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared under 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European 
Union. All standards and interpretations that have been issued and are effective 
at the 31 December 2009 have been applied in the financial statements. The 
financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention 
except for certain assets and liabilities which are held at fair value. 
 
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) requires presentation 
of a comparative balance sheet as at the beginning of the first comparative 
period, in some circumstances.  Management considers that this is not necessary 
this year because the 2007 balance sheet is the same as that previously 
published. 
 
2.   Publication of non-statutory financial statements 
 
The statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 are 
expected to be posted to shareholders in due course and will be delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies after they have been laid before the Company at the 
Annual General Meeting planned for 13 May 2010. Copies will also be available 
from Robinson plc's registered office: Portland, Goytside Road, Chesterfield, 
S40 2PH and on the Group's website at www.robinsonpackaging.com 
 
The auditor has reported on those financial statements; their reports were 
unqualified and did not contain statements under the Companies Act 2006, section 
498 (2) or (3).
