Current trading and Outlook
"As we confirmed with the announcement on the day of our capital markets event in October, current trading remains broadly unchanged from that set out in the interim results announcement in August. On an organic basis, after adjusting for the acquisition of Zimmermann & Jansen ("Z&J") at the end of last year and for exchange rate movements, revenues for the ten months to the end of October are around 6% ahead of last year, reflecting the stronger comparatives in the second half of last year. On a reported basis revenues year to date are up 10%. Based on current trading patterns we expect adjusted earnings per share for the full year to be in line with current market expectations."
