AGM Trading Update

Dialight plc (LSE: DIA.L), the UK-based market leader in LED lighting, today publishes the following trading update for the three months to 31 March 2015 in advance of its Annual General Meeting, to be held later today.

Demand for our market-leading products within the Lighting segment remained strong and Group revenue growth for the quarter exceeded management expectations.

The initial assessment from the business review conducted by the Group's recently-appointed Interim Group Chief Executive and Group Finance Director, in conjunction with our management teams in the UK and US, is that the development of Dialight's production infrastructure and processes will need more focus and attention to keep pace with the Group's rapid growth in sales. The Board will be reviewing a range of actions to improve the operational performance of the business in the second half and beyond.

Group net debt at the end of the period was £8.9m.

We remain encouraged by the strong demand for LED lighting. Although the Group's operating profits will be weighted more towards the second half of 2015 than in previous years, the Board's expectations for the full year remain unchanged.
