Well it got through the 5 mark with a bit to spare.
Where next???
Alan

don't know, but just may be tempted in even at this seemingly inflated level as there looks to be momentum behind it (strong upward trend!!)

definitely time to start watching this one again ...... should be pretty good support imminently and rsi is now neutral to oversold having been o'bought for some considerable time

Nice update, looking forward to results and more M&A.

anniversary and heritage of international projects.'


Results and Trading Update


The Company expects to announce results for the year ended 31 March 2007 on

of expectations. The Group has continued to make good progress in securing new
work with major projects secured in the second half year including:


Doha Convention Centre and Tower, Qatar - detailed design and construction
supervision

West Gate Freeway Alliance, Australia - design of improvements to M1 freeway

Brisbane Airport Link, Australia - patronage forecasts for A$4 billion toll

The recent cash placing in October 2006 was undertaken to raise additional
finance for the Group's infill acquisition programme. We are actively
negotiating a number of potential acquisitions and the Directors hope to
complete certain of these transactions in the near future.

i agree Alan; this is a really good company (like PFC) ..... i note a bit of apparent resistance as sp has hit underneath 25 dma, with perhaps something of a sterner test around 480 .... nevertheless may well be putting into my portfolio in the very foreseeable future

Welcome aboard.
Very well managed, must benefit from 2012 London and I see it touching 5 again soon, as it did some months ago.

chart below shows good looking breakout ,..... 200 dma miles behind; just broken through 50 dma ...... rsi a little toppy, but little resistance in site until it hits all time high

not sure why the sharpish drop today but with 25 and 50 dma's about to coincide imminently, there should be pretty good support and thus a buying opportunity in this quality service company presents itself.

Excellent results out today, showing a well managed company making the most of opportunities within a rigid operating framework.
Very happy to be a holder.
Alan

alan, any rumours about tendering for olympic contracts??

From the results;

Work on AMP4 frameworks continues for Thames Water, Welsh Water and
South West Water, and we are well positioned to win further work for the
Olympics in 2012.

Alan

cheers, i have been following for a while now and am pretty convinced they will win contracts for the olympics on top of all the other contracts they keep winning.

This years order book is now 2 months old and showing 60% of full year target.
That is without all the bonus of 2012 so it looks like a very good medium -long term play.

Thanks for that CB.
I must admit that one had passed me by!!

And an 'Add' from GCI...

had rather taken my eye off this one .... having had a bit of bleak time in March, sp is now firmly on the up, having breached the psychological and all-time high barriers of 500 .... definitely one to consider, especially if there is any short term reaction

And there goes the 550 barrier.
Though probably short term, cos it must pull back a bit soon.

Interim Management Statement



Hyder Consulting PLC, the multi-national design and engineering consultancy, today issues its Interim Management Statement covering the period to 28 January 2013.



Trading performance



The Group has performed in line with our expectations.



In Asia Pacific our Australian results have been in line with plan, and we have recently secured a number of significant new contracts. Prospects in China are improving, although our operations incurred a small loss in quarter 3 as awards have been slower to come to fruition than anticipated.

In the Middle East results are higher than the prior year and in line with expectations, following mobilisation on new projects in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.



In Europe, as expected, results have improved in the second half. Our UK transport business, in particular, has performed well in the period.



Acquisitions



The Group acquired BCH Engineering Consultants Pty Ltd ("BCH") on 17 December 2012. BCH is a small Perth based consultancy, with expertise in the energy and resource sectors. Initial consideration of A$3 million (c.£2 million) was paid in cash, with a further A$2 million (c.£1.3 million) cash payable contingent on future business performance. BCH improves our access to the Western Australian market and clients, enabling us to respond to demand in the region utilising our existing Australian offices and Global Excellence Centres.



Power Systems Project & Consultancy Services Ltd ("PCS") was acquired by the Group on 19 December 2012. PCS is a specialist, independent high-voltage simulation, analysis and electrical design business employing 42 specialist staff, based in Scotland. The company works extensively in the transmission, distribution and renewable generation areas with clients including Scottish Power / Iberdrola and Scottish & Southern Energy. Initial consideration of £3 million was paid in cash, with up to a further £0.5 million cash payable contingent on future business performance. The acquisition builds on Hyder's growing expertise in the energy sector and follows on from its purchase of ESR Technology Ltd in June 2011.



Financial position

The Group retains a strong balance sheet with a net cash position, and has significant headroom against its banking facilities with which to pursue new opportunities.



Outlook



Although market conditions remain variable, the Group's favourable positioning and its diversified international base give us confidence for the full year.
