Cape secures access contract in Thailand

Cape plc, the international provider of essential industrial services to the energy and natural resources sectors announces it has been awarded a two-year outline service agreement by STP&I Public Company Limited (STP&I).

Cape will provide scaffolding support services for Package 1, Plot A on the LNG Pre-Module Fabrication activities at the Laemchabang facility in Thailand, prior to their onward shipment to the onshore Ichthys LNG facility in Australia.

Interim Management Statement

Trading

The Group's overall trading for the third quarter was in line with the Board's expectations. Overall revenues were slightly ahead of expectations, offset by the margin impact of a less favourable mix of activity in the UK and lower than expected margin project work in the Middle East. Whilst the third quarter was in line with expectations, the Board expects that the full year result will be further impacted by operational challenges on a specific project in the Middle East.

UK & CIS

The UK business continues its robust performance and is trading in line with expectations, with higher revenue being offset by a slightly lower margin resulting from a mix of work weighted more toward the lower margin offshore market. Volumes in Kazakhstan reduced as anticipated as major project work there, such as the Kashagan development project, nears completion. Mobilisation of the significant maintenance project in Azerbaijan continues to plan and the business is focused on working with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) to agree outstanding commercial and financing arrangements for the Joint Venture.

MENA

As expected, activity levels in KSA continue to be high, partially offsetting a slowdown in UAE as several significant projects in that part of the region are coming to completion. Competitive pressures, combined with operational difficulties on a specific project in Qatar, will impact the region's performance in the second half. These operational issues have been recognised early in the project lifecycle and the necessary corrective actions are being taken. It is anticipated that second half margins for this region will be significantly below those delivered in the first half.

The Arzew Project in Algeria has been largely completed as anticipated in the revised plan; the cost to complete is within the previously disclosed provisions and cash receipts continue to be in line with agreed commercial terms.

Asia Pacific

As expected, market conditions continue to be challenging in both Asia and Australia. Despite this, the business delivered a better than expected performance in the third quarter as the benefits of the performance improvement plan for the Group's Australian business began to bear fruit. It is anticipated that this region will achieve a breakeven position by the end of the current financial year and return to profitability in FY14. This improvement in the outlook for the Australian business will be further strengthened by the award of the access contract for the Wheatstone project announced today, expected to be worth in excess of £45m. A decision on the award of the substantial insulation, fireproofing and coatings contract for the same project is expected shortly.


Order Book

The Group's order book as at 30 September 2013 stood at £482m (30 June 2013: £593m) reflecting expected timing of key target contracts and the on-going challenges in a number of the Group's markets.

The Group's financial position remains robust with net debt at 30 September 2013 of £78.3m (30 June 2013 £73.9m).

Outlook

The Board anticipates that the full year operating profit will be materially below previous expectations as a result of the project specific operational challenges in the Middle East. Group earnings per share is expected to be slightly below previous expectations as a result of the mitigating effect of the minority interest in the Qatar business and an improvement in the Group's overall tax rate.

The Group has targeted a number of key prospects to be secured during the next two quarters which will be important in delivering the Board's expectation of improved performance in 2014. The near term strategy and focus for the Management team is on securing these prospects and continuing to drive operational excellence throughout the Group.
