Smiths in-line
Smiths Group said its overall performance in Q1 was in-line with management views, and that expectations for the full year remain unchanged.
Revenue declined 3% on an underlying basis. On a reported basis, revenue grew 16%, reflecting the effects of recent movements in foreign exchange.
At 28 October, net debt was £983 million.
“Since then net debt has reduced further, with the receipt of proceeds from the divestment of John Crane’s Artificial Lift business and Smiths Medical’s Wallace franchise,” the company said.
On 28 September 2016, the Group set out its strategy to lay the foundations for future value creation through stronger growth, improved competitiveness, more robust and consistent execution and a better focused portfolio.
With the recent divestment of John Crane’s Artificial Lift business and Smiths Medical’s Wallace franchise, the Group has disposed of £60 million of revenue and released over £170 million of capital towards reinvestment in attractive growth opportunities.
Further steps were also taken in the quarter to de-risk the Group’s pension liabilities through a £250 million bulk annuity buy-in agreement.
