Clive Thomson, CEO of Barloworld, said:
"The group produced strong growth in operating profit and earnings during the period. With order books continuing to increase across most businesses, we anticipate a strong second half of the financial year with earnings expected to be significantly up on both the first half of 2011 and the second half of last year. As the recovery gains momentum in most of our key market segments, particularly mining, our focus has shifted to driving profitable growth and enhancing the overall level of financial returns across our businesses. Our financial position remains strong and we are well placed to take advantage of a number of exciting growth opportunities in the year ahead."
