AGM Trading Update

Ahead of its Annual General Meeting on Thursday 6 July 2017, Elektron Technology plc, the technology group, provides an update on recent trading.

Checkit, the Group's Internet of Things business, has made good progress year to date, working with commercial organisations of all sizes to replace pen and paper with digital, cloud based solutions. Highlights include:

Ø Trials and evaluations at a number of major organisations operating multiple sites in food service and retail. Contracts have been won in leisure, hospitality and food processing organisations as well as multiple small and medium sized food service businesses at an increasing rate;

Ø Becoming an approved supplier to Compass, the global market-leading provider of outsourced catering solutions, with Checkit now installed and in use at client sites including major UK supermarkets, blue chip organisations and one of the world's largest, US headquartered, technology companies;

Ø Creating a partnership with Towergate Insurance to reduce the cost of business insurance to Checkit customers in recognition of the role Checkit plays in reducing risk associated with food safety and compliance.

Bulgin's order book remains ahead of this time a year ago. This business has continued to make strategic progress as outlined in our Annual Report. Results, including the launch of its M-Series connector range have been ahead of expectations in the first half.

Discussions regarding the sale of Titman continue whilst, as previously reported, the other businesses within the IMC portfolio are being managed with a view to eliminating losses in this segment.

The closure of the Group's Torquay site is close to being completed on time and on cost.

Elektron expects to provide an update on current year first half sales and cash on 10 August 2017.
