Senior plc: Trading Update - Trading in line, full year
expectations unchanged
Senior plc ("Senior" or the "Group"), an international
manufacturer of high technology components and systems, principally
for the worldwide aerospace & defence, land vehicle and power
& energy markets, today issues this trading update for the
nine-month period ended September 2021 (the "Period").
Trading update
Trading in the nine-month period ended September 2021 has been
in line with management expectations.
In our Aerospace Division, when compared to the equivalent
period in the prior year, part of which was pre-COVID and included
Senior Aerospace Connecticut for the full nine months, sales in the
Period were around 14% lower on a constant currency basis.
Excluding Senior Aerospace Connecticut, which was divested on 22
April 2021, revenue for the nine-month period on an organic,
constant currency basis declined by 11%. This reflected the
reduction in civil aircraft production rates, partly offset by
growth from defence, semi-conductor equipment and space
markets.
In Flexonics, sales in the Period grew around 11% compared to
the equivalent period in the prior year, on a constant currency
basis. As anticipated, growth from the recovery in heavy-duty truck
and off-highway markets, was partially offset by a decline in oil
& gas and the closure of the Senior Flexonics business in
Malaysia.
For the Period, Group revenue of GBP496m was 7% lower, on a
constant currency basis, than the equivalent period in the prior
year, part of which was pre-COVID and also included Senior
Aerospace Connecticut for the full nine months. Excluding Senior
Aerospace Connecticut, revenue for the nine-month period on an
organic, constant currency basis declined by 4%.
Financial Position
Net debt at the end of September 2021 was GBP94m (excluding
capitalised leases of GBP74m), a reduction of GBP35m from December
2020 and is in line with our normal seasonal working capital
pattern.
Outlook
Market demand is recovering strongly in both land vehicles and
domestic aviation, and defence markets continue to remain stable.
This positive recovery in demand has contributed to the
well-publicised supply chain constraints that both our customers
and Senior are having to weather. Our operating businesses are
managing these increasing headwinds diligently and, as a result,
the outlook for the Group for 2021 remains in line with
management's previous expectations.
Looking further ahead, our differentiated offering in fluid
conveyance and thermal management products in attractive and
diverse end markets, means that the Board is confident we will make
good progress as the recovery continues. Our investment and
capability in low carbon and advanced manufacturing technology, our
global footprint, our strong track record and continued commitment
to the highest ESG standards further underpins this confidence.
Senior is hosting a Capital Markets Day on 12 October 2021 at
the London Stock Exchange where we will provide insights on our
strategy to maximise shareholder value through a focus on fluid
conveyance and thermal management technology. A recording of the
webcast and the presentation materials will be made available on
the Senior plc website.
