Trading Update
Tricorn Group plc (AIM: TCN.L), the AIM listed tube manipulation specialist, provides the following pre-close trading update for the financial year ended 31 March 2019 (the "Year").
Revenue for the Year is expected to be around 2.5 per cent. ahead of the previous year. New business growth in the Transportation division more than offset the reduction in revenue in the Energy division which, as anticipated, saw significantly lower demand from the power generation rental sector. The Company's joint venture in China continues to perform well.
Adjusted PBT* for the Group is expected to be around 30 per cent. up on the previous year.
Tricorn will provide a further update on current trading and prospects at the time of the release of its audited full year results, which is expected to be on 3 June 2019.
*All references to PBT are before intangible asset amortisation, share based charges and foreign exchange derivative valuation.
