Trading Update

KBC is pleased to announce the following trading update in relation to the full year results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2015.

As expected, KBC had a strong second half year and the Board anticipates that results for the year to 31 December 2015 will therefore be in line with management's expectations. Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2015 totalled £12m.

Following early action in 2015 to address the deteriorating situation in the oil and gas market the company was able to reshape and focus to deliver strong margins in Consulting and ensure a good performance, against market headwinds, in Technology sales including some notable new relationships such as the WorleyParsons contract previously announced in October.

Consulting continued to deliver projects successfully and to diversify its revenues, with notable wins in the Middle East and Russia.

Whilst the significant recent oil and gas price pressures are inevitably causing uncertainty across the hydrocarbon industry, KBC is well positioned as it enters 2016 with a strong order book. Its main business focus and expertise is the provision of profit improvement for clients at a time when they need to operate their assets more cost-effectively.
