("LPA" or the "Group")
GBP4m Contract Wins and Trading Update
LPA Group plc, the high reliability LED lighting and
electro-mechanical system manufacturer, is pleased to announce
contract wins totalling GBP4m for new products including complex
under-frame electro-mechanical boxes for railway rolling stock and,
a Group first, export contract win for LED-based lighting on trams.
Deliveries will commence imminently and will continue for at least
eighteen months, with significant potential for further revenue in
the longer term.
Further to the announcement in May, and as previously reported
in the Interims Statement, the current financial year (Y/e 30
September 2019) remains as challenging as previously reported with
continued customer delays to certain contracts, which the Board are
of the view will now be shipped subsequent to the year end. These
contracts have not been lost, but the sales will be delayed to
later financial periods, negatively affecting the full year
results.
However, the factory load for the new financial year commencing
1 October 2019 will benefit from these delays and the new
contracts, so the prospects for the new financial year and the
longer term are significantly improved, pointing to a strong
recovery.
Peter Pollock, Chairman of LPA Group, commented:
"Order entry and prospects remain very strong, and whilst the
continued delays to deliveries, moving them from the current period
to next year, is disappointing, coupling this delayed output to the
new contract wins will increase the factory load and accelerate
recovery in the new financial year and secure the Group's position
in the longer term. The cost structure has been adjusted reflecting
the new reality and the Board looks forward with increasing
confidence."

of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
