Trading update

Continued order momentum, full year expectations confirmed

Rotork plc ("Rotork"), the market-leading global provider of mission-critical intelligent flow control solutions, today issues the following trading update covering the four-month period to 29 October 2023.

The Group's performance over the period was in-line with expectations. Order intake showed improvement on the 2022 comparator period on an organic constant currency¹ (OCC) basis, with all divisions ahead led by Oil & Gas and Water & Power. For the 10 month period, Group order intake was up nearly 10% (OCC).

The supply chain challenges which held back deliveries to customers earlier in the year are improving.

Rotork confirms expectations for strong growth in full year revenues on an OCC basis and for year-on-year improvement in full year adjusted operating profit margins.

The Group remains highly cash generative and has a strong balance sheet. Net cash at 29 October 2023 was £103m (June 2023: £98m). During the period Rotork paid an interim dividend and the consideration for the acquisition of Hanbay (together c. £40m).

Rotork will publish 2023 full-year results on Tuesday 5 March 2024.

Based on exchange rates from 1 January to 29 October 2023 the year-on-year currency headwind to reported full year revenues is estimated at 1.6%.
