Trading Update
Tricorn Group plc (AIM: TCN.L), the AIM listed tube manipulation
specialist, provides the following pre-close trading update for the
six months ended 30 September 2019 (the "Period").
The Period started encouragingly with the new paint facility in
the USA integrating well and ahead of plan. Demand in the USA has
remained broadly in line with expectations, but the USA operation
has seen some short-term pressure on margins. This has been due to
a lag between the impact of the increase in tariffs in the USA on
goods sourced from China and the time taken to negotiate price
increases with customers.
The Joint Venture in China performed in line with
expectations.
In the UK demand slowed significantly through the second quarter
resulting in revenue for the Period being around 12% lower than the
six months ended 30 September 2018 (the "Corresponding
Period").
As a result, first half revenue for the Group is expected to be
around 7% down on the Corresponding Period and slightly lower than
expectations.
PBT for the Period will be lower than the Corresponding Period
reflecting both the lower demand levels and short-term pressure on
margins in the USA.
There is a strong pipeline of opportunities and the Board
continues to evaluate the impact of new business inload and the
extent to which this can offset the impact of weaker underlying
market conditions. However, the Board now anticipates that full
year results will be materially lower than market expectations.
Tricorn will provide a further update on current trading and
prospects at the time of the release of its unaudited interim
results for the six months ended 30 September 2019, which is
expected to be on 4 December 2019.
*All references to PBT are before intangible asset amortisation,
share based charges and foreign exchange derivative valuation.
