Interserve : Trading update

Interserve, the international support services and construction group, today provides an update on trading for the year ended 31st December 2016 prior to announcing its Preliminary Results for the year ended 31st December 2016 on 28th February 2017.

Overall Group trading has remained in line with previous guidance and expectations for full-year headline results are unchanged.

Within this overall performance, we are anticipating that strong international construction and equipment services results will broadly offset a disappointing performance in UK construction.

The net debt position of the group as at 31st December 2016 is expected to be better than previously guided, at £270-280m, driven by strong collections and other working capital management measures, which have more than offset an increased level of cash outflows from the exited Energy from Waste business.
