AGM STATEMENT

TRADING IN LINE WITH EXPECTATIONS

At its Annual General Meeting today, Carillion will make the following comments on the Group's 2015 performance.

"Trading in the year to date is in line with our expectations and the steady improvement in our markets that began in 2014 has continued in 2015. 

"Following our strong work winning performance in 2014, we continue to make good progress with contract mobilisations.  New orders in 2015 have increased revenue visibility⁽¹⁾ for the current year to over 90 per cent.  Therefore, with a high-quality order book and pipeline of contract opportunities, combined with our strong balance sheet, the Group expects to deliver revenue growth in 2015, with margins and cash flow in line with the guidance we gave when we announced our full-year results for 2014". 

    ⁽¹⁾ Based on expected revenue and secure and probable orders, which exclude variable work, frameworks and re-bids.
