Correction to Financial Review

Original text:

A significant proportion of revenue is invoiced in US Dollars and the Group benefits from the US Dollar weakening against UK Sterling and conversely a stronger US Dollar has an adverse impact. Forward currency contracts are entered into to mitigate the risk of an adverse impact on profits for a portion of expected US dollar net cash flows. The Group does not hedge translation exposure where the local business records its transaction in local currency. The net impact of changes in currency rates compared to 2014, after forward contract hedging, was to increase underlying operating profit by £3.2m.
