AGM Statement and notice of results
Β
Tristel plc (AIM: TSTL), the manufacturer of infection prevention products, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 11am today at Lynx Business Park, Fordham Road, Newmarket, Cambridgeshire CB8 7NY.
Β
Paul Swinney, Chief Executive Officer, will address the meeting with the following update:
Β
"As the half progressed, in all our geographical markets sales have picked-up well as hospitals have gradually returned to normal service levels for diagnostic procedures. We expect revenue to exceed Β£15m compared to Β£16.8m in the first half last year, noting revenue last year included a one-off sale of Β£0.9m to the NHS for Brexit-related inventory. This stock was released back to UK hospitals during this first half, creating a Β£1.8m period-on-period distortion. Overseas revenues are expected to account for 64% of worldwide sales during the half compared to 60% in the comparable period last year. Reducing our exposure to the UK NHS by growing our existing overseas businesses and entering new geographical markets is a key objective for the Company.
Β
"Cash after the full-year dividend sits above Β£8m. Based on continued normalisation of hospital procedure numbers in the UK and elsewhere, which is clearly dependent on Covid-related updates, we are on track at this stage to be in line with market expectations for the year."
Β
