THE WEIR GROUP PLC
19 June 2012
Capital Markets Presentation
The Weir Group will today hold a Capital Markets presentation for shareholders
and analysts in London which will focus on the Minerals Division, providing an
overview of its operations, market positioning and strong medium term outlook.
Weir will also reconfirm its full year guidance for the Group overall as
communicated in the Interim Management Statement of 9 May 2012.
The Minerals management team will highlight the market leadership positions in
the division's core markets; its broadening and differentiated product and
service offerings, and product innovation; and a number of future growth
opportunities which are well developed. The division's growing installed
equipment base provides the platform for profitable, high quality, aftermarket
revenue growth, from both products and services. This is supported by the
£1.1bn original equipment input Weir has captured since January 2010 which, as
the equipment is commissioned, is expected to generate an incremental
aftermarket revenue opportunity of up to £3bn over the next ten to fifteen
years, underpinning the Division's ambition of doubling divisional 2011
operating profits by 2016.
Keith Cochrane, Chief Executive, will conclude the presentation by highlighting
the positive fundamentals underpinning the medium and long term outlook for the
mining equipment market.
A webcast of the presentation will be available on the Group's website
(http://www.weir.co.uk) from 8pm on the 19(th) June.
