TRADING UPDATE
LONDON: THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2018: The Board of Trifast provides
the following unaudited trading update covering the Q3 financial
period and up to the date of this announcement.
Organic performance
Our global visibility and order pipeline is still very
encouraging. The Group balance sheet remains strong and provides
capacity to fund our growth. The global dynamics of our business
continue to match management expectations in relation to our
revenue, margins and other KPIs across all our business teams in
the UK, Europe and Asia. It is pleasing to report that our US
operation continues to recover following the impact of Hurricane
Harvey.
The consistent levels of progress over recent years, coupled
with our future growth and significant investment plans future
proof the business and ensure TR can meet the demands of its
multinational OEM customers therein turn, building long term
shareholder value.
The capital investments we have made in our manufacturing
operations in Italy and Taiwan are already delivering ongoing
benefits. The significant expansion of our Singapore facilities is
on track with phase one expected to complete by the financial year
end. To support our ongoing advancement and to meet the evolving
needs of our multinational OEM customers, the project to develop
and integrate our existing IT infrastructure initiated in 2017
continues. Additional investments have already been made into our
global enquiry system. We expect to finalise the scoping of the
wider project by the time we report our full year results in
mid-June.
Acquisitions
As ever we are evaluating several interesting acquisition
opportunities which would further enhance our vendor sourcing,
technical portfolio and engineering skills; expand our global
footprint; or add value to our sector specialisms.
Summary
There are, of course, some macroeconomic factors we cannot fully
mitigate including the wider potential implications of Brexit on
our business and the UK economy. However, as we have said
previously, the Trifast Group has the flexibility and foresight to
continue to grow while facing any challenges head on as and when
they arise.
Accordingly, the Board remain confident that the Group will
deliver its expectations for the year ending 31 March 2018 when it
reports in mid-June 2018.
The next trading update will be in mid-April.
