AGM Statement and Interim Management Statement




At today's Annual General Meeting of Scott Wilson Group plc ('Scott Wilson' or 'the Group'), the international design and engineering consultancy for the built and natural environments, the Chairman, Geoff French, will make the following statement:




'Our diversity, both geographically and across market sectors, continues to serve us well during this time of reduced certainty. Demand in some sectors, especially road and rail both in the UK and internationally, has remained very strong and a number of major projects have been secured. Elsewhere, especially in areas related to private commercial development, conditions remain depressed with little sign of improvement in the short term.




In recent weeks the Group has won several engineering design packages on London's Crossrail project - Paddington Station, Farringdon Station, Pudding Mill Lane Portal and the Bulk Power Supply Design in addition to the extensive remodelling associated with the On Network Works for Network Rail. These commissions and a significant share of the planned South Island MTR Line in Hong Kong, can be attributed to the combination of our existing skills and those of Benaim, the metro and light rail specialist acquired last year. These rail projects require substantial input from staff in all sectors including from Buildings & Infrastructure which has been badly impacted by the economic situation in the UK. The Europe & Africa Region has been successful in winning significant road and rail projects in Poland, Serbia and Mozambique. As a result of these wins and many others both in the UK and across our expanding international operations, our order book once again stands at record levels and the pipeline of opportunities is consistent with our internal targets.




In light of these opportunities and our continuing projects, the Board remains confident of achieving Group performance in line with its expectations in the current financial year.




Internally the Group has transitioned to a new market facing management structure based on five core business sectors: Strategic Consultancy, Railways, Buildings & Infrastructure, Environment & Natural Resources and Roads. This new structure provides enhanced management clarity and makes Scott Wilson even more client focused bringing further efficiencies to the delivery of our services.




Scott Wilson will announce its interim results for the 26 weeks ending 1st November 2009 on 15th December 2009.'

Think the news was received well.

Dil - good volume today - and it even got a mention in Greystone's end of day report :-)

Ignore it skinny, I hate rampers :-)

Treble nineteen.double sixteen..checkout for the pro ramper!!!!

Nah your not that good if you ask me tabby.

I wasnt asking?

Oi Dil - only up 2.8% today! :-)

Yeah , could have been tabby's biggest ever winner if he bought yesterday.

Flying again skinny , oh joy.

:-)

Skinnywhen Dil talks about flyinghe is referring to his Mondeo going over Penderi Cliffs

Awww bless him , if tabby hadn't spent all his money trying to prop up smeldex he could have actually made some here.

Dil.I am used to being blessedI am after all a saint off out toddle pip...

... permanently would be nice.

DilI see the Financial Director.Sean Cummins just recently acquired over 300,000 new share options at the extortionate price of 10p....bit of luck I learnt my ten times table then...

Great thread Dil... i myself see a chart breakout as reason to drink heavily.

Whilst have a beer today. i found this stonking breakout..



Hope this of interest to you all.
d.

So that must be a short?

Broken the quid mark can it hold ?


Dailos ... saw the movement in MIRA (the new YOO) , wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Dil
Nor would i, and if i wouldnt touch it, it must be a dog!

P.S..Hope you got some URU and PRL a few months back (if u did, its 2 cheese and onion and one plain please)
:-)

Never heard of them Dai , where do you dig all that crap up from ??? :-)


Finished above a quid today folks , first time since Feb.

Bound to be down to-morrow. Look at the volumes after the bell! SELL.

lol yeah , and if you believe all you read Fred it went up on 8k buys against 93k of sells .

Your begining to sound like tabby :-)

is it not ex-divi tomorrow........so sp should drop a few % at least

I'll lower my price target a couple of pence to take account of it :-)

I would lower a couple more?

Why ?

Well in profit , stop loss in place , let the winners run.

Stop loss trigger at more than 5%that dont sound like a Mondeo driver?

u must have a shedload on it if u r well in profit........many shares are multi baggers this year with some 10 baggers already like ciu......this share is a plodder but ok to have in portfolio and check it once in a while

tabby , stop losses of sub 5% are ok for trading , swg / isg and a couple of others I hold in my sipp are hardly likely to be shares people trade as liquidity is low.

marni , had a few ciu but joined the train a little late and I'm now out. % wise I am well in profit on these having bought at a little under 60p and added more at 62p and 83p , you do the maths. I'm not looking for the one big hit unlike some.

i dont look for huge hits but i've got about 20 stocks of which 2 have went up 7 times this year alone......i was just pointing out that this seems more f a share that will rise gradually.....not having a go or anything and it pays a decent divi

That dig was for someone else marni , the plonker who filled his boots all the way down to suspension on meldex.

Dilin that case 2008 should have been an horrendous year for meit wasnt!in fact I would class it as good considering capitulation going on all around.this year has been tremendousI think you should pick and choose those you call a plonkerI think a castle springs to mind?I have always given you credit when you have impressedtry being a Gentleman.

I'll take your word for it.

How many scln's you bought ?

Flying again , lets see if we can get a 100p+ finish today.

Scott Wilson part of consortium awarded Mersey tidal energy project


Scott Wilson Group plc ("Scott Wilson" or "the Group"), the international design
and engineering consultancy for the built and natural environments, is pleased
to announce that it is part of a consortium appointed by Peel Energy to
investigate the possibility of harnessing the Tidal energy in the Mersey
Estuary.


The Mersey has one of the largest tidal ranges in the UK and has the potential
to make a significant contribution to the Government's target to secure 15% of
UK energy from renewable sources by 2020. An initial feasibility study,
part-funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency, will identify a single
preferred tidal power scheme that stands the greatest chance of delivering the
maximum affordable energy from the tidal resources in the Mersey Estuary. The
team will then go on to prepare a planning application for the preferred scheme.


The contract is worth up to GBP5 million over two years to the consortium.


The Scott Wilson Consortium includes 1st tier partners; Electricity de France
(EDF) and Drivers Jonas LLP and several Northwest based SME's.


Hugh Blackwood, Group Chief Executive, comments: "We are delighted to have been
selected for this pioneering project to design a sustainable method of power
generation and help secure a renewable source of energy from the Mersey River.
Our inclusion in this consortium demonstrates the growing diversity of our
expertise and ability to operate in niche, highly specialist areas of the
market."

Good move up today and looking for that fresh air!

Yep , needs to get through the 120p level and whoooooooooooooosh :-)

I think you missed an o out Dil! :o)

Will it or won't it ?

It did, so where to next? 130 by Friday?

Just into the fresh air - some volume would be nice though!

160p by xmas Kim :-)

JDG also about to breakout imo and worth a look.

Good thread on advfn.

Ah, good. I'll just start my Christmas wish list then Dil! :o)

JDG looks interesting Dil, may be a little illiquid possibly due to the small amount of shares in issue? Or have I got the wrong one? Chart certainly looks inviting! Progress is good.

Yep doesn't seem to be much liquidity Kim so be careful but it works both ways , first target 240p.

SWG could make 130p today if it carries on like this , oh joy :-)

... and just for skinny the volume is there to confirm the action.

It was my 400,000 :-)




I wish!

Yeah and the 650,000 was mine :-)

I could only manage 250,000 :o)

lol ... cheapskate :-)

:o)

In the words of the Churchill dog "oh yes .... oh yes"

skinny isn't it the wife saying that every night!

:-)

Someone just paid 130p Kim , oh joy :-)

Off a bit in auction, and I've moved my stop - which is nice :-)

Posted 5/10/09 by davebowler on advfn:

Brewins;

Scott Wilson is a leading global multi-disciplinary consultant which we believe is being fundamentally undervalued by the market. In our view the April 2010 P/E of 6.5x in no way reflects the quality/industry standing of the business, its diversity (better illustrated by the new reporting structure), exposure to the emerging markets infrastructure investment boom, and a market position which we believe would be very attractive to overseas predators. Following recent contract awards which have taken order book visibility to above historical levels, we increase our 12m target price to 207p (Dec 10 EV/EBITA 7.9x, PER ex pensions 11.7x) from 125p and add Scott Wilson to our Conviction Buy list.

A trading statement is due on 29/10/09

Yes! 130p! Well for a moment anyway Dil! A good week.

Very good week Kim ... Brewin are making me look a bit of a cheapskate but in fairness their target is a 12 month one while mine is by xmas :-)

Well, xmas is almost here, just back from Chester and looking around the shops you'd think it was next week! I'm sure xmas only lasted 3 weeks when I was a young lad!!

Trying 130 again.

Big fight still going on around the 130p level

Next leg coming .... I seen it in the tea leaves :-)

With sugar or without? :o)

Oh so sweet Kim ... off we go again :-)

Anyone on here into AVN ?

Looks likely to pop soon and a massive year ahead for it , bung it on the watch list.

Oi Dil - you should have pointed those out in January :-)

Oi skinny I told tabby about them and ABC about 18 months ago on the MDX thread :-)

Trading statement on Thursday.

have added a few

Down 5.5% today - trading statement tomorrow - hmmmm!

Have faith .... and if that fails use a stop loss :-)

Dil - unfortunately - as posted on the traders thread, I was stopped yesterday!

SCOTT WILSON PRE-CLOSE STATEMENT


Scott Wilson Group plc ("Scott Wilson" or "the Group"), the international design
and engineering consultancy for the built and natural environments, today issues
a pre-close statement prior to the announcement of the Group's Interim Results
for the 26 weeks ending 1 November 2009, due to be announced on 15 December
2009.


The Group's proven ability to provide integrated services globally continues to
see Scott Wilson achieve significant success across a broad range of major
opportunities. In addition, we are benefiting from our new management structure
in maximising the Group's involvement in the higher growth market sectors
identified in our business plan. This is demonstrated by a number of recently
reported project wins including major design packages for Crossrail, the Hong
Kong MTR, the Mersey Tidal Barrage Study and more recently the GBP8 million Odra
River Basin Flood Study in Poland. There have also been notable successes in
securing major road and rail work in Serbia, Mozambique and India.


During the first half of the year the financial performance of our Joint
Ventures has been better than initially foreseen. This largely reflects the
Group's prudent approach to profit recognition and, although final settlements
are yet to be agreed, the Group's share of the profits from the Joint Ventures
at the half year is now expected to be at least GBP2m. As a result, the Board
anticipates reporting interim results ahead of current market expectations.




Ends

Onwards and upwards.

Can always get back in when it breaks out again skinny - 200p here we come :-)

Dil - I took a spread bet on them earlier - all be it nowhere near as large as my original holding - strong close in the auction ! :-)

If they come-in with 10p, it may be higher for the first 6months and with the future potential you could be looking at 25p forecast, = solid 250p, plenty to go at from here, 200p looks definatle possibility short-term, or at least to test it.

AVN breaking out skinny ... now don't say I didn't tell you :-)

Good call Dil :-)

ACHL worth a look too but the chart doesn't take account of a 10:1 stock split a couple of weeks ago.

... and I still hold SWG :-)

Dil - just looked at the chart here.

Cheers , looks a damn sight better on that one than on here.

Dill,

I will get someone to take a look at the chart

Ian

Cheers Ian.

Think AVN has taken off.

2010 could see it double from here.

Bloody ramper :-)

Where ?

:-)


Roll up roll .... avn a fiver by xmas.

Dil, Where will it land?

Who cares as long as it stays up there for a few years Fred.

off topic i know, but avn, just took a look at the chart and the break out.very quick and first impression is, where is the volume?
please do be careful
regards
jkd

On plus I think jkd but a valid point , doesn't seem to take much to move them one way or the other.

64,103 on plus 15,667 on lse not sure what the average volume is.

Dil thanks for that.
i was looking at MAM chart and volume. are they different? i dont know. do you?
surely total volume traded should be shown. irrespective of market or exchange shouldnt it? otherwise we could end up with conflicting evidence and views.
just eyeballing the volume on the Mam chart seems to be circa 1600 highlghted by x 10 so volume appears to be circa 16000, which is pretty close to the 15667 figure that you mention above for lse.
anyway its maybe something MAM might like to confirm or clarify.PI"s might also take note and be aware of.seems to be an anomaly, but only for those that require and need to consider volume and it's effect and relationship to price movement.
regards
and good luck
jkd

They are different , you need to add the two together. I believe that moneyam are working on including plus volume in their data which is from the lse.

I did a quick calculation and todays 80k total volume is well above average I think.

AVN , tenner by xmas :-)

3 new contract wins for AVN (I really should start a new thread).

Added a few AVN earlier.

Au Revior Dil.

AVN? you're buying the right stuff at long last.. congratulations!
MML and MWG good uns too.

Bonjour for now.
Martini.

Oh dear, Dil and Dailos on the same thread. ;-))))

In his case ... better late than never I suppose Al :-)

LOL!

Interims tomorrow and lots of noise around MCHL.

Interim Results.


SCOTT WILSON GROUP PLC

Interim Results for the 26 week period ended 1 November 2009

"Increased profits, robust order book and further progress in international business"

Highlights


Adjusted* operating profit increased by 4.1%

Adjusted* operating margin increased to 7.3% (2009: 6.7%)

Adjusted* diluted earnings per share of 10.1p (2009: 10.1p)

Major project wins across all sectors and regions

Order book maintained at 280m

Interim dividend maintained at 1.33p per share

Cheap as chips.

PE of 5.5 at the moment, this means that they are very very undervalued and should be more like 200p at PE10, most of these serivice orgs because of good long term steady business are enjoying hogher multiples I thought! Either way got to be a solid hold, am I missing something?

Still in as stop loss not been hit but struggling to understand the change in the pension fund situation.

Also , don't like companies with recurring "exceptional" items ... close below 104p and I'm out.

I'm still trying to adjust to this statement:- "Adjusted operating profit is operating profit adjusted for recurring adjustments, together with redundancy costs and an exceptional contract loss."
;o)

Well even with all that in mind, fundamentally they are on a pe of 5, this seems cheep, very cheep. This looks like a sqeeze post results, but I could be wrong.

Still in ... just.

When assessing a fall like we have had over the last few days you have to say to yourself 'has anything changed?' The answer in this case is affirmative.

Anyone should have sold long time ago as the downtrend took shape, second bounce moving below 120p

in Saudi Arabia


Scott Wilson Group plc ("Scott Wilson" or "the Group"), the international design
and engineering consultancy for the built and natural environments, is very
pleased to announce that Saudi Railways Organisation (SRO) has awarded the Group
the contract to provide project management support to the new Haramain High

economically active commercial centres.


Hugh Blackwood, Group Chief Executive, comments, "Saudi Arabia is a rapid growth
area with continuing investment in key infrastructure. Scott Wilson is delighted
to be involved in such a high profile rail project which provides a further
opportunity to apply our growing global rail credentials."

Tanzania Mining IPO
Denmark Railways Signalling Strategy

You been watching Avanti (AVN) lately skinny ?

Dil - I've been waiting for you to start a thread :-)

Patience is a virtue :-)

You in yet skinny (AVN) ?

Take off confirmed for Sept , should see an easy 50% before then.

Tell me more :-)

Ah you mean this :-

Avanti Communications Group plc

Launch schedule confirmation

Avanti Communications Group plc (AIM: AVN), the broadband satellite operator, is pleased to announce that Arianespace and its subcontractors have confirmed today that the Soyuz launch for HYLAS 1 remains on target for launch by September 2010.

The fully assembled HYLAS 1 satellite is now in thermal vaccum, making final preparations for shipment to the launch site with no change to the prior schedule

I'm wondering if I should sell half into the frenzy before lift off or go sh*t or bust on a successful launch (odds are heavily in favour of one).

Decisions decisions :-)

Spread is a bit of a killer - 461.75 - 476

It narrows , usually later in the day but on average its usually less than 10.

... regards The Loafer :-)

lol

Might start an AVN thread when it gets to a tenner skinny :-)

It's nice that it's gone unnoticed by the masses , they all be jumping on in September.

Looks good Dil :-)

Needs to hold the 5 quid level today.

Dil - testing recent highs.

Need a breakout now skinny over the next week or two and it'll be 600p. Excitement should build through the coming months , launch due by September.

Dil
Any thoughts on Lloyds?
Being told by all the right people to buy now, but i dont fancy it.
d.

Got no opinion either way Dai just a bit wary of what any new government that includes the Libs may do to them.

Knew I should have held on to Scott Wilson :(

Ditto!!!! :o(

Nothing like being on the ball :-)

Scott Wilson downgraded to hold from buy at Panmure Gordon, TP upped to 210p
