AGM Trading Update

McBride plc, the leading European manufacturer and supplier of Co-manufactured and Private Label products for the Household and Personal Care market which today holds its 2016 Annual General Meeting, provides the following trading update for the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 September 2016.

The Group's first quarter financial performance has been an encouraging start to our new year. Whilst Group revenues fell at constant currency and were 2.9% lower than last year (net of the impact from the customer reduction project), our margins and costs have continued the positive progress seen since the launch of our new strategy.

At this early stage of the year the Board is comfortable that the business remains on track to deliver its full year expectations, taking into consideration the many uncertain macro-economic factors ahead of us.

There have been no material events or changes in the financial position of the Group since 1 July 2016.

Rik De Vos, Chief Executive said;

"The first quarter has been an encouraging one for McBride, with the impact of many of the actions from Repair evident in our financial performance. We are actively working on Prepare initiatives as we look to establish the key platforms that will support our growth ambitions."
