Rotala Plc provided earnings guidance for the year ended November 30, 2013. For the year, the company's pre-tax profits, on a similar level of turnover, were modestly ahead of 2012 and were broadly in line with management expectations. Operating cash flow was strong, and whilst net debt increased slightly to £19.9 million, this was after spending £3.8 million on acquisitions.

The ratio of net debt to EBITDA, which stood at just under 3 times at the end of the year, is expected to decrease to about 2.5 times for 2014. Trading for the current year has begun in line with budget.
