AGM Trading Update

Epwin Group Plc, a leading manufacturer of low maintenance building products, supplying the Repair, Maintenance and Improvement ("RMI"), new build and social housing sectors will make the following statement in respect of current trading at today's Annual General Meeting.

"The Board anticipates meeting market expectations for 2018, despite the impact of adverse weather on trading in the early part of the year and some continuing materials cost inflation. Consequently a greater weighting of profit towards the seasonally busier second half year is expected when compared with more recent years. Delivery of the site consolidation programme is continuing in line with plan and the Group continues to make good progress in pursuit of its broader strategic objectives. Whilst in the short term the RMI market demand is expected to remain lacklustre, the Board retains its positive view of the medium-term prospects for this key market."
