Meggitt PLC - Full Year 2020 Trading Update
Meggitt PLC ("Meggitt" or "the Group"), a leading international
company specialising in high performance components and sub-systems
for the aerospace, defence and energy markets, today issues a
trading update for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Group trading performance and expected outturn for full year
2020
Subject to audit, for the full year 2020 we expect to deliver
results for the Group in line with our guidance issued on 10
November as follows:
-- Group revenue of GBP1.7 billion
-- Group underlying operating profit to be in the middle of the GBP180m to GBP200m range
-- Group free cash flow to be positive; and
-- Net debt below the level at the end of 2019, testament to the
work done by our global teams to manage costs and successfully
deliver on our cash savings targets for the year
Trading across our end markets in the final quarter was broadly
in line with the trends experienced in October, with Group
performance lower than our September base case, which assumed a
progressive improvement in Civil Aerospace in the fourth
quarter.
The recent launch and roll-out of vaccines, coupled with pent-up
demand for air travel, provides a supportive backdrop for the
recovery in civil aerospace in 2021. However, given the logistical
challenges associated with a global vaccine roll-out, we expect
this positive development will take time to feed through into
growth in flight and passenger numbers and aftermarket activity
levels.
As a result of the work we have done in 2020 to reposition the
Group and our diverse end market exposure across civil aerospace,
defence and energy, we remain well placed for the recovery.
Our full year results will be released on 4 March 2021 with a
conference call for analysts at 9.30hrs GMT.
