AGM Statement

AGM Statement and Dividend

At today’s AGM, Avril Palmer-Baunack, chairman of Redde plc will be making the following statement regarding dividends and by way of an update on current trading of the business in respect of the period from 1 July to 29 October 2015. Unless otherwise stated, the financial and operational data, where identified, relates to the 3 month period that ended on 30 September 2015.

Dividends

Shareholders are being asked today to approve a final dividend of 4.25 pence per share, amounting to £12.2m which, if approved, will be paid on Thursday 5 November 2015 to those shareholders who were on the register at the close of business on Friday 9 October 2015. This dividend, if approved, will result in total Ordinary Dividends in respect of the year ended 30 June 2015 amounting to 8.25 pence per share and £23.5 million in aggregate.

Current Trading

The positive start to the new financial year, which I described in my statement of 2 September 2015, has continued since that date. Sales show an increase over the corresponding period last year reflecting stronger trading volumes and the commencement of new contracts. As a consequence, trading profits are ahead of our expectations and the corresponding period last year. Early indications are that this trend has continued during October and the Board remains confident about the Group’s prospects for the financial year as a whole. The Group is seeing an increasing level of new business opportunities and is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities to grow revenue and profits with no undue increase in working capital.

Cash generation has continued to be positive and, after paying the Special Dividend in respect of Autofocus on 30 July 2015, which amounted to £2.9m, net cash was £39.6m at 30 September 2015 and compares to net cash of £39.7m at 30 June 2015. Total cash balances were £69.9m at 30 September 2015 compared to £68.6m at 30 June 2015.

FMG Acquisition

Shareholders will be aware that the Group completed its acquisition of the FMG group on Tuesday 27 October 2015 by way of the payment of approximately £41.0m from existing cash resources and the issue of 3,048,220 new ordinary Redde shares at a price of 164.03 pence per share. As at the close of business the day before completion FMG had total bank cash balances of approximately £7.3m.

Trading Update

Current Trading

The Redde Board is pleased to announce that the Group’s strong start to the year that we referred to in our announcements in September and October has continued through into December with increasing trading volumes. The Board is also pleased to note that the FMG group has traded well since acquisition with a good pipeline of new business opportunities. As a result of these factors, trading profits for the six months to 31 December 2015 are now likely to exceed our earlier expectations and will be materially ahead of the corresponding period last year.

Results for the 6 months to 31 December 2015 and Interim Dividend

The Board expects to announce the results for the 6 months to 31 December 2015 at the end of February 2016.

Based upon trading to date the Board would expect to declare an interim dividend at that time of not less than 4.40 pence per share. This would compare to an interim dividend of 4.00 pence in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2015.

Commenting on the announcement, Martin Ward, Chief Executive Officer said:

"The successively strong performances of the Group delivered under our Growth, Profitability and Sustainability strategy is generating good returns for our shareholders. The acquisition of FMG, which completed in October 2015, has enabled us to broaden our reach into new and related markets and diversify our earnings. The outlook for the remainder of the financial year is positive and we continue to examine opportunities to augment our sustainable growth plan."
