Trading and Operational update

Coral Products PLC, a specialist in the design, manufacture and supply of plastic products based in Haydock, Merseyside, is pleased to provide the following update:-

Trading update

The Group made an operating profit in each of the four months to the 30 April 2018 and as a result the Board expect that the Group will meet its revised market expectations for the 12 months to 30 April 2018 which were announced on 12 January 2018.

This improved operating performance over the past four months has continued into the current financial year with both sales and margins ahead of the same period last year.

The Board look to the future with increased confidence as a result of a strong order book and expected further improvement in operating performance in coming months.

Operational update

The Board is pleased to announce that it has ordered a Plastic Recycling Unit to be installed at its Haydock facility. Delivery and installation is expected to occur in December 2018 with the plant being operational in January 2019.

The plastic recycling plant is expected to contribute to revenues in the financial year to 30 April 2019.

The plastic recycling plant will increase the Group's ability to offer a 360-degree service to many of its customers, in turn reducing land fill and single use of plastics resulting in a reduction in both internal waste and raw material costs.

A further announcement will be made in due course.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
