Trading Update

Renew (AIM: RNWH), the Engineering Services Group supporting UK infrastructure, announces an update on trading in advance of the interim results for the half year ended 31 March 2019.

Group trading in the period was ahead of the previous financial year and in-line with forecasts. The Board remains confident in achieving its expectations for the full year. Trading in the Engineering Services division has been strong whilst Specialist Building activities have reduced, as expected, due to our continued approach to contract selectivity.

The Group net debt position at the half year is in-line with the Board's expectations and the year-end net debt forecast remains unchanged. The Group's order book continues to be underpinned by long-term framework positions, including new awards during the first half of the year, and is expected to be in-line with that reported at our AGM in January.

Renew's interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2019 will be announced on Tuesday 21 May 2019.
