Kevin Hostetler, Chief Executive, commenting on the results,
said:
"During the first half of the year we saw a continuation of the
more favourable market trends seen during the final quarter of 2017
as well as the receipt of several larger orders in the first
quarter.
"We have made significant progress on the reviews of our routes
to market, innovation funnel, operations footprint, supply chain,
talent development and IT systems. We have completed the data
capture and analysis phase of most workstreams.
"To support the implementation phase of our growth acceleration
plan we have initiated an investment programme consisting of an
expansion of our service infrastructure, development of our
operational and procurement expertise and accelerated investment in
our IT. Spend in these areas will continue to increase through the
year.
"Management expectations for OCC growth are unchanged. We expect
revenues for the full year to show high single digit growth over
last year on a reported basis, with currency headwinds reduced to
circa 3% at current exchange rates. We continue to expect adjusted
operating margins to be slightly ahead of the prior year."

Business Review
During the first half of the year we saw a continuation of the
more favourable market trends seen during the last quarter of 2017
and the receipt of several significant orders.
Group order intake in the first half increased 9.1%, or 13.3% on
an organic constant currency (OCC) basis. Customers' spend on
maintenance and upgrades appears to be increasing to compensate for
the lack of investment over the previous few years and we saw an
improvement in investment in larger projects during the first
quarter. The rate of growth was significantly higher in Q1 against
much softer comparatives for Controls and Fluid Systems, with order
intake in Q2 slightly ahead of Q2 2017, the strongest quarter last
year.
The order book at 30 June 2018 was GBP226.2m, 17.5% (17.5% OCC)
higher than at 31 December 2017, giving good visibility entering
the second half.
The end market environment continues to improve. In the Group's
oil and gas markets, we saw growth in upstream and the improvement
that we saw in downstream in the last quarter of 2017 continued.
Midstream remained challenging and we do not expect this to improve
until we see an improvement in the LNG market which is not
anticipated this year. We saw steady progress across the industrial
process market, while water and power activity was slightly
down.
Revenue increased by 10.4% (14.8% OCC). Overall, oil and gas was
53.3% (H1 2017: 48.5%) of revenue with a significant increase in
the percentage of downstream sales as a proportion of revenue
offsetting a small reduction in the percentage contribution from
upstream and a larger decrease in midstream. In upstream, which
accounted for 16.6% (H1 2017: 17.0%) of revenue, we saw good
activity in Europe with other regions lower. The increase in
downstream activity was strongest in the Far East with North
America also positive and, in total, downstream represented 27.7%
(H1 2017: 21.1%) of revenue.
In the industrial process markets, OCC revenue increased over
the prior period by 19.1%, reflecting improving macroeconomic
conditions. Revenue from water was down 3.2%, mainly due to North
America, while power decreased by 6.6%, with small increases across
most regions offset by a reduction in the Middle East. We continue
to see significant growth opportunities across our other end
markets.
Geographically, the Middle East declined as increased sales in
midstream and downstream were more than offset by the decrease in
the upstream and power markets. All other regions grew in total
with the Far East and Europe increasing their share of Group
revenue. We remain well placed internationally to benefit from
opportunities in all of our key geographies.
Rotork Site Services, our global service network, is a key
differentiator in our industry and continued to perform well as
customers look to manage their assets more efficiently and avoid
unplanned shutdowns. We have increased the number of service
engineers by 26 in the first half of the year and are on track to
continue to grow this team. We continue to grow our Client Support
Programme (CSP) which offers maintenance contracts tailored to our
customers' specific needs, adding new CSP sales to the renewal of
existing agreements as customers see the benefits of this level of
support and continue the relationship.
Adjusted operating profit increased 20.2% despite a currency
headwind of 4.9% and after investing in new products, expanding our
service infrastructure and accelerating investment in our IT
infrastructure to support our growth acceleration plan. The initial
gains from the growth acceleration plans are anticipated to come
from procurement and operational improvement activities where we
have been utilising outside support. We are now actively
strengthening our internal teams in these areas to achieve the
benefits.
Strategic progress
As previously communicated, we are committed to returning Rotork
over the next five years to the higher levels of organic growth and
margins previously delivered by the Group. We have now concluded
the reviews which started last year to examine six areas - our
routes to market, innovation funnel, operational footprint, supply
chain, talent development and IT systems. These reviews have
validated our initial hypothesis, that we can accelerate growth
though investing in innovation, service and routes to market,
funded by savings generated from restructuring our operational
footprint and consolidating our global supply chain.
Routes to market
The review of our routes to market has emphasised the benefits
of working directly with end users and at the same time how we can
work more effectively with our other channel partners. We have
already instigated a number of initiatives to improve our customer
experience, particularly for our larger customers, and part of the
investment in our business systems will enable our sales teams to
spend more time with customers. We have a knowledgeable sales force
with long-established customer relationships and will gradually
align the project orientated sales teams to the end markets they
serve. This transition from product focussed to end market focussed
divisions will be phased. Investment in IT will also ensure we are
able to respond quicker to orders for simple solutions where speed
of response is critical.
We have reviewed our various markets and assessed the future for
each to ensure we are focusing our resources on those end markets,
geographies and product lines which have the highest growth and
margin potential. This overall portfolio review has also led us to
withdraw resources from less attractive markets and as a
consequence our first steps are to initiate the exit of three areas
which are non-core to the future of Rotork. These are our nuclear
island actuators, valve adaption businesses and a regional
engineering office. The sale of the Fluid Systems nuclear actuator
business was completed in July for GBP3m. The valve adaption
businesses and the engineering office will be closed during the
second half of the year. These businesses account for around 1% of
Group revenue and with overheads of circa GBP5m are dilutive to
Group margins. The payback on these initiatives will be less than
one year. Additionally, we initiated a detailed product line review
identifying a number of product lines which will be withdrawn from
production over the next 18 months. Sales of most of these product
lines will be transferred to alternatives, in most cases to a newer
generation of products, within the core product portfolio.
Innovation
We have completed a high level review of our innovation funnel,
our in-flight new product development activities and our core
engineering competencies. We have developed a framework for
analysing opportunities against markets and are now examining the
most promising areas more closely. Where we have identified gaps in
the competencies we require for our future, we are putting in place
a plan to either build, partner or acquire these competencies,
focusing on the key market drivers of lower energy consumption,
reduced emissions, increased operating efficiencies and advanced
communications protocols.
Operational footprint
The workstream to review the operating footprint is well
underway, with phase one (data capture and initial actions)
complete. We have implemented a number of site performance
improvements, focusing first on our largest facilities, and these
are starting to deliver results. The improvement areas differ from
site to site but lean and value stream mapping techniques are being
used to improve efficiency and reduce inventory across the Group.
We have recently hired a number of new people well-versed in these
techniques to lead this work and drive further improvements.
Supply chain
The procurement review has analysed the opportunities and broken
them down into waves based upon overall complexity, savings
opportunity and the time needed in order to execute these savings
initiatives. These initiatives cover both our direct and indirect
spend categories. Work on the first wave has started with travel,
insurance and the supply of some component lines. We are now
creating a central procurement team, with a combination of external
and internal appointments, rather than this activity being led at a
divisional or local level. Work on the next waves of the programme,
which contain higher value components used in manufacture of our
products, will commence in the third quarter.
Talent development
As I have travelled around numerous Rotork facilities in my
first six months I have been struck by the passion of our employees
and their desire to see Rotork prosper. Our people will be key to
the success of our initiatives. We selected a cross section of
senior leaders representing all regions of the globe for the
initial phase of our talent development programme and over 140
people have now been through the process. This review has confirmed
that with the addition of some targeted recruitment, Rotork will
have both the intellectual horsepower and focus on execution to
drive our desired results. Our next step is to implement an
internal talent review process along with a training and
development suite that will support the future needs of our
organisation.
IT
The other key enabler that impacts all of the other workstreams
is IT. Evaluation of the key elements of our IT strategy is
continuing but will move into implementation phase very shortly.
This will be the platform for delivering many of the benefits
identified in the other workstreams. We are now transition planning
and sequencing these changes with a new business intelligence
platform being the first deliverable.
Our growth acceleration plan is now being developed using the
output of these reviews to form a new operating environment
comprising four pillars. The first pillar, commercial excellence,
will build on the route to market and innovation workstreams. The
second pillar, operational excellence, will be achieved through the
operational footprint and supply chain work. Core business
processes, of which IT will be a major enabler, and talent
development are the other two pillars.
We will be transparent around our achievements across all the
workstreams, splitting out the underlying trading performance from
the restructuring costs, the investment in the customer offering
and how these are funded by cost savings. As previously stated, we
will fund any increased investments from cost savings over time,
taking a balanced approach to risk and returns and taking a phased
approach so that we can benefit from lessons learned as we roll out
changes across the Group.
Financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
H1 2018 H1 2017 FY 2017
-------- -------- --------
Revenue growth +10.4% +13.6% +8.8%
Return on sales +19.4% +17.3% +19.4%
Cash conversion 100.0% 108.5% 109.1%
Return on capital employed 27.2% 23.1% 24.9%
Earnings per share growth +27.0% +4.2% +6.0%
-------- -------- --------
The KPIs are defined below:
-- Revenue growth is defined as the increase in revenue divided by prior period revenue.
-- Return on sales is defined as adjusted profit before tax
(note 2b) shown as a percentage of revenue.
-- Cash conversion is defined as cash flow from operating
activities before tax outflows, payments of restructuring costs and
the pension charge to cash adjustment as a percentage of adjusted
operating profit (note 2a).
-- Return on capital employed is defined as adjusted operating
profit as a percentage of average capital employed. Capital
employed is defined as shareholders' funds less net cash held, with
the pension fund deficit net of related deferred tax asset added
back (note 2e).
-- Earnings per share growth is defined as the increase in
adjusted basic EPS (based on adjusted profit after tax) divided by
the prior year adjusted basic EPS (note 2c).
Adjusted items
Adjusted profit measures are presented alongside statutory
results as the Directors believe they provide a useful comparison
of business trends and performance from one period to the next.
The statutory profit measures are adjusted to exclude
amortisation of acquired intangibles and other adjustments,
comprising restructuring costs and the one-off actuarial credit
arising from the closure of the UK defined benefit pension scheme
to future accrual. Restructuring costs comprise mainly the various
consultants' costs during the analysis phase of the workstreams. As
anticipated in March, the costs in the first half year at GBP5.5m
were very close to the run-rate in the second half of last year of
GBP5.4m. Once the work moves to implementation these are generally
regarded as normal trading expenses. Restructuring costs are
therefore expected to continue in the second half at a similar
run-rate to the first half of the year.
Statutory Pension Restructuring Adjusted
GBPm Results Amortisation related costs results
---------- ------------- --------- -------------- ---------
Operating profit 55.8 9.9 (5.8) 5.5 65.4
Profit before tax 54.7 9.9 (5.8) 5.5 64.3

---------- ------------- --------- -------------- ---------
Profit after tax 41.2 7.6 (4.5) 4.7 49.0
---------- ------------- --------- -------------- ---------
Cash flow
Our strong cash generation resulted in a reduction in net debt
of GBP6.9m to GBP5.7m at the end of the period. Our cash generation
KPI shows a conversion of 100.0% of operating profit into operating
cash. This allowed us to invest GBP6.4m in capital expenditure, pay
dividends of GBP29.2m and we made tax payments of GBP11.3m.
Financial position
The balance sheet remains strong and at the period end net debt
was GBP5.7m (Dec 2017: GBP12.6m), with the ratio of net debt to
adjusted EBITDA improving to 0.04:1 (Dec 2017: 0.09:1). Committed
facilities totalled GBP120m of which GBP75m were drawn at the
period end (Dec 2017: GBP135m committed facilities of which GBP75m
were drawn). The committed facilities both expire in August
2020.
Net working capital at the period end was GBP192.2m, an increase
of GBP3.9m since the year end.
Retirement benefits
The Group operates two defined benefit pension schemes, the
larger of which is in the UK. During 2017 we completed a
consultation process with members of the UK scheme and this scheme
closed to future accrual in April 2018. The active members of the
scheme have been offered membership of the UK defined contribution
plan.
The pension scheme deficit decreased from GBP48.2m at 31
December 2017 to GBP32.8m at 30 June 2018 due to changes in the
discount rate and inflation assumptions and changes to assumptions
impacting the schemes' liabilities following the closure to future
accrual. The credit of GBP5.8m resulting from the closure is
included in other income in the income statement and has been shown
as an adjusted item.
Currency
Overall, currency headwinds reduced revenue by GBP13.1m (4.4%)
compared with the first half of 2017. The average US dollar rate
was $1.38 (H1 2017: $1.26) and the average Euro rate was EUR1.14
(H1 2017: EUR1.16), whilst the rates at 30 June 2018 were $1.32 and
EUR1.13 (30 June 2017: $1.30 and EUR1.14).
Dividend
The Board has decided to increase the interim dividend by 7.3%
to 2.2p, reflecting confidence in progress for the full year. The
interim dividend of 2.2p per ordinary share will be paid on 21
September 2018 to shareholders on the register at the close of
business on 24 August 2018.
Board composition
On 12 February I joined the board and then on 12 March assumed
the role of Chief Executive. At the same time Martin Lamb resumed
his role as non-executive Chairman. The workstreams that were
initiated during this period have provided a huge amount of
information that has enabled the rapid development of the growth
acceleration plan. In my first six months I have travelled to more
than a dozen Rotork facilities across North America, Europe and
Asia and met many Rotork employees and customers. The insights
gained from these meetings are playing a key role in shaping the
operating environment we are now creating.
Operating Review
Rotork Controls
OCC(2)
GBPm H1 2018 H1 2017 Change Change
Order intake 182.8 164.7 +11.0% +16.0%
Revenue 163.6 151.1 +8.3% +13.4%
Adjusted(1) operating
profit 45.2 40.0 +13.2% +17.1%
Adjusted(1) operating
margin 27.6% 26.4% +120bps +90bps
Controls performed well during the period, with order intake and
revenue increasing by 11.0% (OCC: 16.0%) and 8.3% (OCC: 13.4%)
respectively, driven by improvements in downstream oil and gas in
Asia and North America.
Adjusted operating margins increased by 120 basis points to
27.6%. The higher levels of revenue growth exceeded the
inflationary pressures and investment in overheads, driving the
improved operating margin. Material costs decreased 60 basis points
but increased 40 basis points at constant currency reflecting in
part increases in commodity costs but also the delivery of two
large lower margin projects in the Far East, and this resulted in
gross margins being slightly lower (30 basis points) than the first
half of 2017.
Rotork Fluid Systems
OCC(2)
GBPm H1 2018 H1 2017 Change Change
Order intake 91.7 82.6 +11.0% +14.7%
Revenue 79.4 68.1 +16.6% +20.6%
Adjusted(1) operating
profit 5.9 1.1 +432.5% +464.1%
Adjusted(1) operating
margin 7.4% 1.6% +580bps +590bps
Fluid Systems, the division most exposed to the oil and gas
market, benefited from an increase in order intake of 11.0% (OCC:
14.7%). Revenue increased by 16.6% (OCC: 20.6%), mainly across
upstream and downstream oil and gas in Europe, the Far East and
North America and industrial processes in Europe.
Adjusted operating margins increased by 580 basis points,
reflecting the significant increase in revenue over a cost base
which has risen modestly. Gross margins improved 410 basis points
at constant currency with improvements to labour productivity and
utilisation of facilities as well as improved material content.
Rotork Gears
OCC(2)
GBPm H1 2018 H1 2017 Change Change
Order intake 46.1 45.4 +1.7% +4.2%

Adjusted(1) operating
profit 7.9 6.3 +25.1% +29.4%
Adjusted(1) operating
margin 18.9% 15.7% +320bps +340bps
Gears order intake increased by 1.7% (OCC: 4.2%) and revenue by
3.7% (OCC: 6.1%) with oil and gas slightly lower but other end
markets showing improvements and all geographies higher, except
Europe which was affected by a reduction in midstream.
Adjusted operating margin increased by 320 basis points,
reflecting the improved operational efficiencies after Mastergear
was fully integrated into the Cusago site at the end of 2017.
Rotork Instruments
OCC(2)
GBPm H1 2018 H1 2017 Change Change
Order intake 52.4 51.0 +2.8% +5.4%
Revenue 54.5 48.6 +12.2% +14.9%
Adjusted(1) operating
profit 11.7 10.0 +17.0% +21.8%
Adjusted(1) operating
margin 21.4% 20.5% +90bps +130bps
Instruments saw an increase in order intake of 2.8% (OCC: 5.4%)
while revenue grew by 12.2% (OCC: 14.9%) with growth in oil and gas
and industrial processes as well as increases across the remaining
end markets and all geographies except the Middle East.
Product mix within the division led to an increase in material
content but higher revenues meant gross margins improved 100 basis
points at constant currency. The margin improvement expanded to 130
basis points for adjusted operating margins but currency trimmed
this to 90 basis points as reported.
Outlook
During the first half of the year we saw a continuation of the
more favourable market trends seen during the final quarter of 2017
as well as the receipt of several larger orders in the first
quarter.
We have made significant progress on the reviews of our routes
to market, innovation funnel, operations footprint, supply chain,
talent development and IT systems. We have completed the data
capture and analysis phase of most workstreams.
To support the implementation phase of our growth acceleration
plan we have initiated an investment programme consisting of an
expansion of our service infrastructure, development of our
operational and procurement expertise and accelerated investment in
our IT. Spend in these areas will continue to increase through the
year.
Management expectations for OCC growth are unchanged. We expect
revenues for the full year to show high single digit growth over
last year on a reported basis, with currency headwinds reduced to
circa 3% at current exchange rates. We continue to expect adjusted
operating margins to be slightly ahead of the prior year.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group has an established risk management process as part of
the corporate governance framework set out in the 2017 Annual
Report & Accounts. The principal risks and uncertainties facing
our businesses are being monitored on an ongoing basis in line with
the Corporate Governance Code. The risk management process is
described in detail on pages 18 to 24 of the 2017 Annual Report
& Accounts. We have since updated our risk appetite framework
and enhanced the method of application of this framework. We have
also reviewed the Group's principal risks and concluded that they
remain applicable to the second half of the financial year.
The principal risks and uncertainties are: decline in government
and private sector confidence and spending; increased competition
on price or product offering; increasing social and political
instability; increase in the defined benefit pension scheme
deficit; volatility of exchange rates; potential risks to the
health and safety of our employees and other stakeholders; major
in-field product failure; failure of a key supplier or a tooling
failure at a supplier; failure of an acquisition to deliver the
growth or synergies anticipated; failure to provide, maintain and
update the IT systems; failure to protect Rotork operations,
sensitive or commercial data from cybercrime; failure of our staff
or third parties to comply with law or regulation or to uphold our
high ethical standards and values; and failure to recruit and
retain the talented staff needed to deliver to our core strategic
challenges.
The Group continues to monitor the implications of increased
geopolitical uncertainty, including the implications on the Group
of Brexit, as well as the rise in protectionist sentiment in the
global trading environment. The Board remains confident that the
geographic spread of our businesses and diverse end markets in
which we operate substantially limits the risk associated with
instability in any given territory.

Independent Review Report to Rotork plc
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 June 2018 which comprises the Consolidated
Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
and Expense, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows and related notes 1 to 18. We have read the other information
contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of
financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with
International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410
"Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial
Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the company those matters we are required to state to it
in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review
work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's
Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the
Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included
in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim
Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Notes to the Half Year Report
1. Status of condensed consolidated interim statements,
accounting policies and basis of significant estimates
General information
Rotork plc is a company domiciled in England and Wales. The
Company has its premium listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the
six months ended 30 June 2018 are unaudited and the auditor has
reported in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity'.
The information shown for the year ended 31 December 2017 does
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435
of the Companies Act 2006, statutory accounts for the year ended 31
December 2017 were approved by the Board on 5 March 2018 and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on
those financial statements was unqualified, did not contain an
emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement
under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The
consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended
31 December 2017 are available from the Company's registered office
or website, see note 18.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the
Company for the six months ended 30 June 2018 comprise the Company
and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'the Group'). These
condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules
of the Financial Services Authority and with International
Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by
the European Union. They do not include all of the information
required for full annual financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group
for the year ended 31 December 2017, which have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the European Union.
Going concern
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason,
they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
condensed consolidated interim financial information. In forming
this view, the directors have considered trading and cash flow
forecasts, financial commitments, the significant order book with
customers spread across different geographic areas and industries
and the significant net cash position.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes estimates and assumptions regarding the future.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on
historical experience, and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
In the future, actual experience may deviate from these
estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the current financial year
are discussed in the financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2017.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied and significant estimates used
by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2017, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1
January 2018. The Group has not early adopted any other standard,
interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet
effective.
1. Status of condensed consolidated interim statements,
accounting policies and basis of significant estimates
(continued)
New accounting standards and interpretations
IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'
IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue
arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is
recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or
services to a customer. The Group has adopted IFRS 15 from 1
January 2018, using the modified retrospective method
(retrospectively with the cumulative effect at the date of initial
application).
During 2017, the Group performed a detailed analysis of
significant revenue streams, communicated to key stakeholders
within the business the key aspects of the accounting change and
had specific targeted training for key finance employees. In early
2018, further work targeted service revenue to assess the impact of
the change over the transition date. Adoption of IFRS 15 had no
material impact on the recognition and measurement of the Group's
revenue. No adjustments to equity have been made.
The Group's accounting policy for revenue has been updated as
follows:
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a
contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue when it
transfers control of a product or service to a customer and is
shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and
after eliminating sales within the Group.
Revenue from the sale of actuators, gearboxes and flow control
products is recognised in the income statement when control of the
goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to
the customer in accordance with the contracted shipping terms.
The Group provides service and support through preventative
maintenance contracts, on-site and workshop service, retrofit
solutions and the Client Support Programme. Revenue is recognised
for these services based on the stage of completion of the
contract. The directors have assessed that the long-term service
contracts are satisfied over time given that the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the
Group. For other service work revenue is recognised on completion
of the work and after all performance obligations have been
completed.
No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties
regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated completion
costs, the possible return of goods or continuing management
involvement with the goods.
IFRS 9 'Financial instruments'
IFRS 9 introduced a new model for classification and measurement
of financial assets and financial liabilities, a single,
forward-looking "expected loss" model for measuring impairment of
financial assets (including trade receivables) and a new approach
to hedge accounting that is more closely aligned with an entity's
risk management activities. Adoption of IFRS 9 had no immediate
material impact on the Group's results or financial position.
There has been a small change to the way the Group documents its
hedging relationships to reflect specific changes in the standard.
The Group's accounting policy for derivative financial instruments
has been updated to include the following paragraph:
At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group
documents the risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic
relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument,
including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and
hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
Other amendments
A number of amended standards became applicable for the current
reporting period. The application of these amendments has not had
any material impact on the disclosures, net assets or results of
the Group.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
IFRS 16 'Leases'
IFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification
of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors
and lessees. IFRS 16 will supersede the current lease guidance
including IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations when it
becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2019.
IFRS 16 distinguishes leases and service contracts on the basis
of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer.
Distinctions of operating leases (off balance sheet) and finance
leases (on balance sheet) are removed for lessee accounting, and
are replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a
corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by
lessees (i.e. all on balance sheet) except for short-term leases
and leases of low value assets.
Since the Group last reported, the Board has decided to apply
the modified retrospective method when the standard is first
adopted in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2019. Therefore, there will be no impact on any comparative
accounting period (interim or annual) up to and including 31
December 2018, with any leases recognised on balance sheet on the
date of initial application of IFRS 16 (1 January 2019). The Group
has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its
consolidated financial statements but has not yet completed its
detailed assessment. The actual impact of applying IFRS 16 on the
financial statements in the period of initial application will
depend on future economic conditions, including the Group's
borrowing rate at 1 January 2019, the composition of the Group's
lease portfolio at that date, the Group's latest assessment of
whether it will exercise any lease renewal options and the extent
to which the Group chooses to use practical expedients and
recognition exemptions.
Other amendments
Further narrow scope amendments have been issued which are
mandatory for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The
application of these amendments will not have any material impact
on the disclosures, net assets or results of the Group.
2. Alternative performance measures
The Group uses adjusted figures as key performance measures in
addition to those reported under adopted IFRS, as management
believe these measures enable management and stakeholders to assess
the underlying trading performance of the Group.
The key alternative performance measures that the Group use
include adjusted profit measures and organic constant currency
(OCC). Explanations of how they are calculated and how they are
reconciled to IFRS statutory results are set out below.
a. Adjusted operating profit
Adjusted operating profit is the Group's operating profit
excluding the amortisation of acquired intangible assets and other
items that are considered to be significant and where treatment as
an adjusted item provides stakeholders with additional useful
information to assess the trading performance of the Group on a
consistent basis. Further details on these adjustments are given in
note 4.
A reconciliation of operating profit to adjusted operating
profit across the reportable segments is shown in note 3.
b. Adjusted profit before tax
The adjustments in calculating adjusted profit before tax are
consistent with those in calculating adjusted operating profit
above.

c. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share
Adjusted basic earnings per share is calculated using the
adjusted net profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders and
dividing it by the weighted average ordinary shares in issue (see
note 9). Adjusted net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders
is calculated as follows:

conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares (see note
9).

3. Analysis by operating segment
The Group has chosen to organise the management and financial
structure by the grouping of related products. The four
identifiable operating segments where the financial and operating
performance is reviewed monthly by the chief operating decision
maker are as follows:
-- Controls - the design, manufacture and sale of electric actuators
-- Fluid Systems - the design, manufacture and sale of pneumatic and hydraulic actuators
-- Gears - the design, manufacture and sale of gearboxes,
adaption and ancillaries for the valve industry
-- Instruments - the manufacture of high precision pneumatic
controls and power transmission products for a wide range of
industries
Unallocated expenses comprise corporate expenses.

4. Adjustments to profit
Adjustments are those items that management consider to be
significant and where separate disclosure enables stakeholders to
assess the trading performance of the Group on a consistent
basis.
The adjustments to profit are as follows:
First half First half Full year
2018 2017 2017
GBP000 GBP000 GBP000
----------- ----------- ----------
Closure of UK defined benefit pension scheme
to future accrual 5,840 - -

Goodwill impairment - - (21,594)

Restructuring costs (5,549) - (5,413)
----------- ----------- ----------
291 10,000 (17,007)
----------- ----------- ----------
During 2017 we completed a consultation process with members of
the UK defined benefit pension scheme and this scheme closed to
future accrual in April 2018. The resulting credit of GBP5.8m is
included in other income.
The restructuring costs include:
i. Consultancy costs associated with the growth acceleration
plan (included in administrative expenses).
ii. Executive termination and associated recruitment costs
(included in administrative expenses).
iii. Redundancy costs and asset write-downs which have arisen
following the reorganisation of operations (included in
administrative expenses).
The adjustments are tax deductible in the country in which the
expense is incurred.

Other interest expense 839 824 1,775
----------- ----------- ----------
2,069 3,116 6,767
----------- ----------- ----------
7. Income taxes
Income tax expense is recognised based on management's best
estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected
for the full financial year. The estimated average annual tax rate
used for the year ending 31 December 2018 is 24.7%. This is lower
than the effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2017 of
31.0%, primarily due to the fall in the US federal tax rate from
35% to 21% which came into force on 1 January 2018, combined with
the goodwill impairment and the release of the contingent
consideration in 2017 being non-deductible.
The adjusted effective tax rate for the year ending 31 December
2018, based on the adjusted profit before tax, is 24.3%. This is
lower than the effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December
2017 of 26.3%, primarily due to the fall in the US federal tax rate
from 35% to 21% which came into force on 1 January 2018.
The Group continues to operate in many jurisdictions where local
profits are taxed at their national statutory rates. As a result,
the Group income tax charge will be subject to fluctuation
depending on the actual profit mix. The Group continues to expect
its effective corporation tax rate to be higher than the standard
UK rate of 19% due to higher tax rates in the majority of overseas
subsidiaries.

---------- ---------- ---------
The interim dividend of 2.20p pence will be payable to
shareholders on 21 September 2018 to those on the register on 24
August 2018.
9. Earnings per share
Earnings per share is calculated using the profit attributable
to the ordinary shareholders for the period and 870.0m shares (six
months to 30 June 2017: 869.3m; year to 31 December 2017: 869.4m)
being the weighted average ordinary shares in issue.
Diluted earnings per share is based on the profit for the year
attributable to the ordinary shareholders and 873.5m shares (six
months to 30 June 2017: 873.7m; year to 31 December 2017: 872.0m).
The number of shares is equal to the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue (net of own ordinary shares held) adjusted
to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive ordinary
shares.

11. Pension schemes - Defined benefit deficit
The defined benefit obligation at 30 June 2018 of GBP32,780,000
(30 June 2017: GBP45,293,000; 31 December 2017: GBP48,210,000) is
estimated based on the latest full actuarial valuations at 31 March
2016 for UK and US plans. The valuation of the most significant
plan, namely the Rotork Pension and Life Assurance Scheme in the
UK, has been updated at 30 June 2018 by independent actuaries to
reflect the closure of the UK defined benefit scheme to future
accrual and updated assumptions regarding discount rates, inflation
rates and asset values.

In addition, the defined benefit plan assets and liabilities
have been updated to reflect the regular payments, the GBP1.9
million payment made in March 2018 in respect of past service and
the benefits earned during the period to 30 June 2018.
12. Share capital and reserves
The number of ordinary 0.5p shares in issue at 30 June 2018 was
870,489,000 (30 June 2017: 870,139,000; 31 December 2017:
870,429,000). All issued shares are fully paid.
The Group acquired 705,000 of its own shares through purchases
on the London Stock Exchange during the period (30 June 2017:
465,000; 31 December 2017: 465,000). The total amount paid to
acquire the shares was GBP2,150,000 (30 June 2017: GBP1,158,000; 31
December 2017: GBP1,157,000), and this has been deducted from
shareholders' equity. At 30 June 2018 the number of shares held in
trust for the benefit of Directors and employees for future
payments under the Share Incentive Plan and Long-term incentive
plan was 490,000 (30 June 2017: 566,000; 31 December 2017:
566,000). In the period 781,000 shares were transferred from the
trust to employees in respect of the Share investment plan and the
Overseas profit linked share plan.
In respect of the SAYE scheme, options exercised during the
period to 30 June 2018 resulted in 60,000 ordinary 0.5p shares
being issued (30 June 2017: 88,000 shares), with exercise proceeds
of GBP112,000 (30 June 2017: GBP157,000). The weighted average
market share price at the time of exercise was GBP3.14 (30 June
2017: GBP2.45) per share.

15. Related parties
The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries
and with its directors and key management. A list of subsidiaries
is shown in the 2017 Annual Report & Accounts. Transactions
between key subsidiaries for the sale and purchase of products or
between the subsidiary and parent for management charges are priced
on an arm's length basis.
16. Financial instruments fair value disclosure
The Group held forward currency contracts designated as hedge
instruments in a cash flow hedging relationship. At 30 June 2018
the fair value of these contracts was a net liability of
GBP2,695,000 (30 June 2017: a net liability of GBP5,816,000; 31
December 2017: a net asset of GBP1,702,000). The fair value was
estimated using period end spot rates adjusted for the forward
points to the appropriate value dates, and gains and losses are
taken to equity estimated using market foreign exchange rates at
the balance sheet date. All derivative financial instruments are
categorised at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There was no
ineffectiveness to be recorded from the use of foreign exchange
contracts.
The other financial instruments, comprising trade and other
receivables/payables and contingent consideration, are classified
as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and their carrying amount is
deemed to reflect the fair value. The Group had no derivative
financial instruments in the current or previous year with fair
values that would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy.
