SMITHS GROUP PLC - Q3 TRADING UPDATE
Pioneers of progress - improving our world through smarter
engineering
Continued strong growth and increased FY2023 guidance
Smiths Group plc ("Smiths" or "the Group") today announces our
trading statement for the nine months to 30 April 2023.
The strong growth delivered in the first half of FY2023
continued through the third quarter with organic revenue up +13.4%
for the nine months to 30 April 2023 (HY2023: +13.5%). As a result
of the Group's continued strong performance, we are raising FY2023
guidance to around 10% organic revenue growth with moderate margin
improvement.
The third quarter performance was driven by both good volume and
price growth, with strong demand in most of the Group's end
markets. We continue to invest in working capital to ensure we meet
this strong customer demand.
-- John Crane continues to see significant demand across all
segments, with strong conversion of orderbook to revenue in the
quarter.
-- Smiths Detection delivered a particularly strong quarter
reflecting the timing of some large original equipment deliveries,
as we continue to execute well against our record orderbook.
-- In Flex-Tek, strong growth in the aerospace segment more than
offset the expected slowing in the US construction business.
-- Smiths Interconnect declined year over year in the third
quarter reflecting softness in some of its end markets.
Paul Keel, Group Chief Executive, commented:
"Q3 was another strong quarter for Smiths, building on the
record performance we achieved in the first half. We've now
delivered eight consecutive quarters of growth, enabled by our
strategy of accelerating growth, improving execution, and investing
in our people. My thanks to all our employees across the Group for
their commitment to our shared success.
Our strong performance for the year to date, together with our
confidence in the final quarter, has led us to raise our full year
guidance to around 10% organic revenue growth, with moderate margin
improvement."

Smiths will publish its results for the year ending 31 July 2023
on Tuesday 26 September 2023.
(1) Organic revenue growth excludes the effects of foreign exchange
