AGM trading update

RTC Group Plc will hold its Annual General Meeting at 12 noon today. At the meeting, A M Pendlebury, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive, will make the following statement:

"I am pleased to report that since publication of the 2023 results in March the Company continues to trade on a positive trajectory with trading levels ahead of the same period in 2023. The Company trades without long-term gearing and continues to build its balance sheet through the generation of strong operating cash flows.

Furthermore, and as I have previously stated, our key strategic objectives moving into 2024 are to continue to take advantage of our favourable positioning in solid markets to enhance profitability and support our strategy of returning cash through dividends to our shareholders. Longer-term we aim to further build shareholder value through our diverse and growing order book, and to strengthen the Group Board for better and broader governance. I am extremely confident we are making significant progress on all fronts.

The Board is confident of the trading prospects of the Company in the current financial year."
