Wed, 22nd Feb 2012 08:15

The plastic and fibre specialist, Filtrona, saw revenues grow across all divisions in 2011 even as it passed on cost increases to its customers.Turnover for full year 2011 at £540.7m was up 10% versus £489.6m in 2010. With the effects of currency movements stripped out the rise was 11%, while also stripping out the effects of acquisitions, organic revenue growth was 8.0%.Adjusted profit before tax rose 18% (10% using constant exchange rates, or CER) to £76.2m from £64.6m while adjusted earnings per share jumped 20% (CER:21%) to 25.1p from 21.0p the year before. On the back of the increased earnings, Filtrona's dividend has been increased by 16.7% to 10.5p per share.The gross margin rose by eight-tenths of a percentage point during the year to 35.7%, as the company pushed through price increases, boosted operational efficiency and sold more higher margin products.

The weakest division was Filter Products which increased just 3.6%.Net debt at the end of the reporting period was £144.9m, an increase of £54.1m from January 1st, 2011, with strong cash flow generation being offset by higher dividend payments and the acquisitions of Reid and Richco during the year."Filtrona is well-positioned to deliver further balanced growth in 2012 and to continue to make progress towards its Vision 2015 objectives of at least mid single-digit like-for-like revenue growth and double-digit adjusted EPS [earnings per share] growth at constant exchange," the company statement said.The company also announced a £6m acquisition of Securit World, which distributes desktop personal identification card systems.
