Speedy, the UK's leading tools, equipment and plant hire services company, operating across the construction, infrastructure and industrial markets, notes today's announcement relating to Carillion plc ("Carillion").
The Group is a supplier of hire equipment and services to Carillion and is committed to supporting the delivery of projects as planned. Revenue in the 12 months to December 2017 with all Carillion entities was c.£12.0m, of which c.55% represented core hire revenue; outstanding debt at 31 December 2017 was £2.0m. A proportion of the group's revenue and debt relates to Joint Venture arrangements involving third parties which are expected to continue unaffected.
It is intended that any profit impact of Carillion's compulsory liquidation will be recorded as an exceptional non-underlying charge in the income statement for the year ending 31 March 2018.
The impact of Carillion's situation is not expected to be material to the Group which had net debt at 31 December 2017 of £88.9m. The Group remains on track to deliver a result in line with expectations for the full year.
