Trading update

Renold, a leading international supplier of industrial chains and related power transmission products, is today issuing a trading update ahead of reporting results for the year ended 31 March 2015, on 26 May 2015.

The Group has continued to deliver margin enhancing initiatives across both operating divisions and reduced transitional costs associated with the Bredbury closure project. Modest underlying⁽¹⁾ sales growth has continued in the Chain division with Torque Transmission also delivering underlying sales growth in the second half.

The Group therefore expects to report adjusted⁽²⁾ operating profit for the full year above the upper end of current market expectations.  Net debt has reduced to approximately £20.0m, due primarily to strong operating cash flows.

There have been no other significant changes in the position of the Company since the publication of the Interim Results Statement in November 2014.
