AGM TRADING STATEMENT
At the Annual General Meeting to be held at 11.30am today, the
Chairman of Robinson plc, Richard Clothier, will make the following
statement.
"In the first quarter of 2016, revenues were 10% down on the
previous year of which 4% was due to lower resin prices. The lower
volumes were mainly as result of lower demand for our customers'
products in the market which is a continuation of the trend in the
second half of 2015. Resin prices are increasing which will reduce
margins in the short term before prices are adjusted. Previously
reported new business gains have come on stream slower than
expected and will benefit the second half. Furthermore, the
build-up of additional new contracts commencing in the latter part
of the year is very encouraging.
The final payment for the acquisition of the Madrox business in
Warsaw has been agreed at GBP4.3m in line with the 2015 financial
statements and will be settled during May 2016.
A planning application has been submitted to redevelop 24 acres
of land previously used in our former healthcare business in
Chesterfield. It is anticipated that the application will be
determined in the summer, which would allow for negotiations to
take place with prospective developers during the second half of
2016."
