TRADING UPDATE

Strong start to the year, on track for FY22

Ashtead Technology Holdings plc (AIM: AT.), a leading subsea equipment rental and solutions provider for the global offshore energy sector, is pleased to provide an update on trading.

The Company continued to perform strongly in the first quarter of 2022, supported by good ongoing customer demand across both offshore wind, and oil and gas, end markets. The activity levels experienced in the first quarter are higher than the same period in the prior year, with utilisation rates remaining strong. This performance to date underpins the Board's confidence in meeting its expectations for the full year 2022.

Allan Pirie, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"Our first full financial year as a listed company has begun well, with positive trading momentum continuing during Q1. While we are mindful of uncertainty arising from the current geopolitical environment and inflationary pressures, mitigated by tightening market conditions and increasing pricing, we remain confident of making further progress in 2022."

"We continue to invest in our highly fungible, equipment rental fleet, which is the largest independent fleet in the industry, and remain well placed to support the continued strong demand from offshore wind and the anticipated pick-up in spending in the oil and gas industry given the increased focus on energy security."

Notice of FY21 Results

The Company will announce results for its financial year ended 31 December 2021 by early June 2022.
