INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Hogg Robinson Group plc, the international corporate services company, today issues its second Interim Management Statement for the year ending 31 March 2015, covering the period from 1 October 2014 to date.

Current trading and outlook

The Board continues to believe that HRG will deliver a full-year performance in line with market expectations.

For the four months to end January, revenue was 2% lower (up 2% at constant currency) versus the prior year. Client travel transaction activity was higher by 6% while client spend was unchanged (up 4% at constant currency). Overall, the Group's trading environment has remained broadly similar in the second half of the financial year to date to that seen in the first half, with conditions for our markets in North America and the UK positive overall, while markets in Continental Europe and in Asia remain generally weak.

We are pleased to have welcomed a number of new clients to our portfolio during the period while extending our existing relationships with others, including the UK Government and Novartis. Following a retender process, we have renewed and widened the scope of our contract with Volkswagen Group in Europe.

David Radcliffe, Chief Executive of Hogg Robinson Group plc, commented:

"We continue to make good progress against our strategic priorities and are confident that the actions we are taking will improve our long-term competitiveness and position us to benefit from the changes taking place in our industry. We expect market conditions to remain similar for the remainder of the year and anticipate a full-year performance in line with market expectations."
