Longer term chart shows resistance at around 95p and then 105p which would be medium term SP targets.

Group revenue increased by 3.7% to £450.5m (H1 2015 - £434.5m). This included a favourable exchange rate impact of £21.5m and a beneficial incremental impact from acquisitions of £18.6m. Underlying Group revenue from organic operations was down £24.1m (5.3%) on a constant currency basis as growth from the Aerospace Division was offset by lower Flexonics revenue due to weaker truck and off-highway, and oil and gas markets.

Adjusted operating profit decreased by £9.0m (16.0%) to £47.2m (H1 2015 - £56.2m). This included a favourable exchange rate impact of £2.7m and £2.0m of operating profit contributed by acquisitions. Adjusted operating profit from organic operations decreased by 23.3% on a constant currency basis. Whilst the Group continues to focus on operational improvements, cost management and efficiency initiatives, as previously disclosed, margins in the first half of 2016 were impacted by the reduction in volumes and change in mix in the Flexonics Division, as well as the ramp-up of new aircraft production programmes in the Aerospace Division. These resulted in the Group's adjusted operating margin reducing by 2.4 percentage points to 10.5%.

Adjusted profit before tax decreased to £42.3m (H1 2015 - £52.1m), down 18.8%, or 22.5% on a constant currency basis. Adjusted earnings per share decreased by 18.2% to 8.07 pence (H1 2015 - 9.86 pence).

The Group generated free cash inflow of £17.3m (H1 2015 - £24.7m) after gross investment in capital expenditure of £22.8m (H1 2015 - £23.3m). The level of net debt at the end of June 2016 was £207.3m (December 2015 - £194.6m). This increase was principally due to unfavourable currency movements of £12.2m and £18.3m of dividend payments partly offset by free cash inflow of £17.3m and proceeds on disposal of business of £1.5m. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA at the end of June 2016 was 1.6x, comfortably below the Group's bank covenant level of 3.0x.

Recognising the underlying strength of the business and its future prospects, the Board has approved an interim dividend of 1.95 pence per share, an increase of 6.0% over the prior year (H1 2015 - 1.84 pence). It will be paid on 30 November 2016 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 21 October 2016.
