OVERVIEW

  • Positive operational performance, despite a tough macro-economic environment
  • The expected economic growth rates have slowed materially
  • No indication of a significant improvement in the medium term
  • Reunert has delivered on its 2014 commitments
  • No material once-off costs
  • All loss-making business units have been restored to profitability
  • Growth achieved in all segments

› ICT: underpinned by stabilising office automation business model and excellent performance from voice and finance businesses › Applied electronics: boosted by hard currency export orders and securing the multi-year Radiate contract › Electrical engineering: driven by volume growth, efficiency enhancements and the award of several long-term frame contracts

  • Steady progress has been made on the execution of the group strategy that was approved in April 2015
