Restore plc is an AIM-listed support services company focussed on providing services to offices in the private and public sectors.

Restore plc has two divisions: document management and relocations. As a group it provides safe and secure services in document storage, online and tape storage, document shredding, office relocation, IT relocation and IT asset disposal. The group has significantly developed and expanded these services over the last few years by means of acquisition and organic growth and provides nationwide services, with storage locations across all of mainland Britain.

The Company was floated on AIM in November 2004. Our head office is in London W1.

Restore is a document storage company based in Redhill, Surrey. From its original storage facilities in Redhill, Paddock Wood and Launceston, and a 70-acre underground facility in Wiltshire, its geographical spread has grown significantly over the last few years, partly through acquisitions made in Oxfordshire, Sussex, Leeds, Glasgow, Middlesbrough, Manchester and Kent, as well as File and Data, another national records management business. It has also taken on the records management activities and sites of Harrow Green and now operates from 17 sites across the UK. The company offers a range of services from pure storage to a comprehensive, compliance-based records management programme and has customers throughout the UK.

Restore Shred, headquartered in Upper Heyford with sites from Glasgow to London, where it has a state-of-the-art facility with capacity in excess of 15,000 tonnes a year. The company was formed in October 2011 when it acquired the business and assets of Thoroughshred, a provider of secure shredding and recycling. The acquisitions of M&L Document Destruction and Cannon Confidential mean that Restore Shred now services customers across the UK.

Restore Scan (formerly Document Control Services Ltd (DCS)) is a specialist scanning company. The company is based in Peterborough and has a strong customer base across the UK, serving in particular the infrastructure sector.

Year End Trading Update





Restore plc, the UK office services provider ("Restore" or "the Group"), confirms that trading for the year ended 31 December 2016 was in line with expectations.



Our Document Management division, whose core records management business accounts for the majority of Group profit, continued to perform steadily. Our principal focus during the year was the integration of Wincanton Records Management, acquired in December 2015, and PHS Data Solutions ("PHS DS"), acquired in August 2016. The integration of the records management operations of both businesses is largely complete, with synergies in line with those anticipated on acquisition. Our shredding activities have been transformed by the acquisition of the much larger PHS Datashred business, with the integration now complete and Restore Shred rebranded as Restore Datashred. Restore Scan made good progress during the year following a change of operational management and has been significantly enlarged by the addition of the scanning division of PHS DS.



Our Relocation division, which primarily comprises the Harrow Green business, achieved steady year-on-year growth. Trading during the final quarter was strong, with good levels of activity at Harrow Green. Relocom, our technology relocation business, traded satisfactorily. IT Efficient, the Group's IT asset disposal business, performed strongly and benefited from improved operational practices. The performance of ITP, our toner cartridge recycling business, continued to be impacted by a weak global market for reselling empty cartridges.



The Group's Full Year results will be released on 9 March 2017.



Charles Skinner, Chief Executive of Restore, commented:



"We are pleased by another year of good performance by the Group, with significant increases in revenue, profits and earnings per share. Following a two-year period in which we have made three major earnings-enhancing acquisitions, Restore is now established as one of the two market leaders in each of our main activities. The Group is a key supplier of services to UK offices and workplaces and has an excellent platform for further profitable growth with strong visibility of earnings."

The performance of Harrow Green, the core business within our Relocation division, is in line with expectations.

Half Year Trading Update
 
Restore plc ("Restore" or "the Group"), the UK office services provider, today issues a trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2017.
 
Trading in the first six months of 2017 was in line with expectations, with the Group continuing to benefit from last year's acquisition of PHS Data Solutions ("PHS DS").
 
Within the Document Management division, Restore's core records management business traded robustly. As expected, net box growth during the period was below our usual rate of increase, reflecting major customer exits from previously-acquired businesses that were anticipated at the time of acquisition. However, cost savings, including those from the records management operation of PHS DS, exceeded expectations. Restore Datashred traded strongly and benefited from improved demand for recycled paper. Restore Scan also traded well, and its major seasonal contract was executed successfully.
 
Within the Relocation division, Harrow Green performed well, with good year-on-year growth.  Relocom traded satisfactorily. Our IT recycling activities, which comprise IT Efficient and The ITAD Works, acquired in February 2017, traded particularly strongly. ITP Group, our toner cartridge recycling business, showed improvement and traded profitably during the period.
 
The Group's Half Year results will be released on 11 September 2017.

Interims Mon 11 Sept

Summary:

· Group revenue up 57% to £86.9m
· Document Management revenue up 74%; operating profit up 63%
· Relocations revenue up 21%; operating profit up 18%
· Group adjusted profit before tax up 59% to £15.3m
· Adjusted earnings per share up 38% to 10.9p
· Good organic growth across both divisions
· PHS Data Solutions successfully integrated
· Restore Datashred performance ahead of expectations
· 7 acquisitions completed since the start of the year
· Interim dividend per share up 26% to 1.67p
· Banking facilities increased and extended


Commenting on the results Charles Skinner, Chief Executive, said:

"We continued to make good operational and financial progress in the first half. In particular we delivered strong organic growth across the Group and our shredding business, which was significantly enlarged by the major acquisition in 2016, performed better than expected.

We will continue to pursue our strategy of organic and acquisitive growth and we are well positioned to gain further market share across all of our businesses.

The second half has started well and the Board expects to deliver a full year performance slightly ahead of its previous expectations."

Cheers juzzle. :-))

Year End Trading Update


Restore plc, the UK office services provider ("Restore" or "the Group"), confirms that trading for the year ended 31 December 2017 was in line with expectations.

Our Document Management division, whose core records management business accounts for the majority of Group profit, continued to perform well. Our Records Management business continued to trade strongly. Restore Datashred performed satisfactorily and completed five small shredding acquisitions during the year, all of which have now been fully integrated. Restore Scan continued to increase revenues and operating margins.

Our Relocation division, which primarily comprises the Harrow Green business, continued to achieve good year-on-year growth. Trading activity at Harrow Green was strong. IT Efficient, the Group's IT asset disposal business, was significantly expanded by the acquisition of The ITAD Works in February 2017, and the combined business traded ahead of expectations. ITP, our toner cartridge recycling business, showed some signs of improvement but its market remains difficult.

The Group's Full Year results will be released on 13 March 2018.

Charles Skinner, Chief Executive of Restore, commented:

"Our full year results will show further significant year-on-year growth in revenue, profits and earnings per share. This reflects the successful integration of PHS Data Solutions, acquired in August 2016, and a strong underlying performance by our businesses. We continue to have an excellent platform for further profitable growth with strong visibility of earnings."
