Interim Results

Rotork PLC 03 August 2005 3 August 2005 Rotork p.l.c INTERIM ANNOUNCEMENT Continued growth in turnover, operating profit and order book FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • Turnover increased by 17% to £78.3m (2004: £66.8m) • Profit from operations increased by 17% to £16.2m (2004: £13.9m) • EPS 12.7p up 14% (2004: 11.1p) • Order intake 23% higher than first half of 2004 • Record order book up 29% since June 2004 excluding impact of PCI acquisition • Interim dividend of 5.9p up 10% (2004: 5.35p) • Interim Report and all comparative figures prepared under IFRS Chief Executive, Bill Whiteley, commenting on the results said: '2005 has started well and we are pleased to report further strong growth in each of our divisions. Our worldwide markets were generally favourable with a continued increase in projects requiring valve automation. The increase was broadly based with all three divisions increasing order intake and with most of our geographic and end user markets performing well. 'We are confident of meeting our growth expectations for the year.' For further information, please contact: Rotork p.l.c.

Turnover increased by 17% in a period little affected by exchange rate movements. Profit from operations increased by 17% compared with the 2004 results which have been restated under International Financial Reporting Standards. Order intake once again exceeded sales output leading to a new record order book level. Operating Review Our worldwide markets were generally favourable with a continued increase in projects requiring valve automation. The order input increase of over 23% was slightly flattered by two substantial orders being received towards the end of the second quarter. The increase was, however, broadly based with each of the three divisions increasing order intake and with most of our geographic and end user markets performing well. The largest increases came from the Asia and Far East region with order intake from China, India and Singapore being particularly strong. This was supported by good input in North America, RFS in Italy and the various UK activities. The order book, excluding acquisitions, at the end of the period was 29% up on the same period last year and 37% up on the end of last year. Although the impact of currencies was broadly neutral for the comparative period the order book benefited from the stronger dollar on 30th June 2005. Electric Actuators Electric actuator input value was up 22% on the prior year. Most operations benefited from increased activity albeit in some of these cases the increase in business was due to projects outside of their territories being placed through local OEM customers. The power market was particularly active and represented 33% of the input units in the period, up from 23% in the corresponding period. The main markets for these actuators are China and India which continued to show impressive growth. However we also had important contract wins in the Middle East/Africa region and the UK which further boosted this figure. Units ordered by the oil & gas sector increased by 15% with substantial increases again being seen in Asia and the Far East although as a percentage of total input it fell from 37% to 34%. We benefited from an increasing number of Chinese pipeline, tank farm and refinery projects in addition to a number of large contracts elsewhere in the region. Actuators being sold into the water market represented 25% of our total units with good levels of business in South East Asia and the U.S. Both the IQT and AWT ranges sold well above expectations in the period and had a positive impact on our ability to win major projects. Operating profit increased by over 19% in a period where, for once, there was a broadly neutral currency impact. Profits from the Bath plant were up as we continued to achieve increased output levels. The service & retrofit businesses, based in Bath and Leeds, were also very active. In Europe, good profit increases were achieved in Italy, Germany and Spain. The U.S. continued to see an impressive increase in its sales and profits as did nearly all of our Asian and Far Eastern operations. Material costs were kept under good control although some increases, due to high raw material and energy costs, came through into our component prices. Actions aimed at strengthening our supply chain were also responsible for some modest cost increases but a number of initiatives being worked upon at the moment will mean that savings in component costs should be re-established next year. Rotork Fluid System We continued to achieve rapid growth in this business with total order intake rising 41%. On a like for like basis, excluding PCI which was purchased during the first half of the year, order intake was up 29%. In addition to the continued growth of this business through our international network of sales companies, a number of large contracts were won by the Italian and U.S. operations. Due to the timing of these projects the order book climbed by 63% excluding PCI. The upstream oil and gas, transmission markets and projects connected with LNG production and shipments remain active. This means that we are confident that there will be good progress for the year as a whole in spite of the modest first half performance, when the return on sales was negatively impacted by losses in the U.S. and Canada. These operations were profitable in 2004 and are forecasting profits for the year as a whole. The acquisition of PCI in March has helped to add new high pressure products and new markets to this division. This business, which is based in Northern Germany, was purchased in March for €9.8m including deferred consideration. During our period of ownership it has contributed £2.1m of output with a net to sales return of 13% before adjustments for IFRS intangible amortisation. Rotork Gears Gears' input grew at 6% despite some weaknesses within its business. The order book, which tends to be shorter within this division due to the nature and application of its products, grew by 32%. During the half year sales output grew by 12% and operating profits by a particularly strong 23% due to good performances at both the Leeds and Losser plants, which have focussed on their costs of materials and operational efficiency. Dividend The interim dividend is to be increased by 10% to 5.9p, and will be payable on 27 September to all shareholders on the register at 2 September 2005. Outlook Many of our important geographic and end user markets remain active with continuing high levels of investment being planned. However we may not benefit from specific large project orders to the same extent as in the first half of the year. The output comparisons are flattered by a somewhat production constrained first half of 2004. Further production increases are anticipated in the second half, which are supported by the order book at the end of June. This makes us confident of meeting our growth expectations for the year.

Status of Interim Report and accounting policies The interim report was approved by the Directors on 2 August 2005. It should be read in conjunction with the 2004 audited IFRS restated accounts announced on 21 June 2005, which contain the accounting policies adopted under IFRS and a reconciliation of the 2004 income statement and opening and closing balance sheets from UK GAAP to IFRS. The financial information for the six months to 30 June 2005 and the comparative figures for the six months to 30 June 2004 are unaudited and have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's audited IFRS restated accounts announced on 21 June 2005 for the year ended 31 December 2004. A reconciliation of the adjustments made to the June 2004 income statement and balance sheet is shown in note 6. The directors have assumed that the December 2004 amendment to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits and the 2005 amendments to IAS 39 will be adopted by the EU in sufficient time that they will be available for use in the IFRS financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2005. In addition, the adopted IFRSs that will be effective (or available for early adoption) in the financial statements are still subject to change and to additional interpretations and therefore cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly the accounting policies for the year ended 31 December 2005 will be determined finally only when the financial statements for that year are prepared. As permitted by IFRS 1, the following standards: IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement have not been applied until 1 January 2005 and accordingly no adjustment has been made to the 30 June 2004 or 31 December 2004 numbers. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2004 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts, which were prepared under UK GAAP, have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The IFRS financial information for the year ended 31 December 2004 is an abridged version of the accounts for that year which received an unqualified report from the auditors prior to their release on 21 June 2005. 2.

Earnings per share Earnings per share is calculated using the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders for the period and 86.0 million shares (six months to 30 June 2004: 85.7 million; year to 31 December 2004: 85.8 million) being the weighted average ordinary shares in issue. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders for the period and the weighted average ordinary shares in issue adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares under the Group's option schemes and Long-Term Incentive Plan. 5.

This was reflected as a prior year adjustment in the 2004 accounts. In the 2004 accounts restated under IFRS announced on 21 June 2005 the adjustments arising from adopting FRS17 were included in the UK GAAP numbers for both 1 January and 31 December 2004. To ensure consistency the UK GAAP numbers for 30 June 2004 have also been restated from those announced last year to reflect FRS17, the impact of this prior year adjustment is: First half Full year 2004 2004 £000 £000 Increase in profit from operations 243 633 Increase in financial expenses (39) (79) Increase in tax expense (61) (137) Increase in retained profit 143 417 Increase in employee benefits (13,510) (13,885) a) Intangible assets No amortisation of goodwill is charged to the income statement in the period under IFRS. Under UK GAAP £636,000 was charged during the period so this has been reversed. Development costs of £992,000 at 1 January 2004 and £882,000 at 30 June 2004 that qualified for recognition as an intangible asset under IFRSs had not been recognised under UK GAAP. They are recognised under IFRS at the date of transition and at 30 June 2004 respectively. During the first half of 2004 £161,000 of development expenditure was amortised and £51,000 of costs expensed under UK GAAP were capitalised. Total adjustments to intangibles are made up as follows: 1 January 2004 30 June 2004 Reverse goodwill amortised through the income statement - 636 Capitalised development costs 992 882 Amortised intangible assets - (47) 992 1,471 b) Deferred tax assets Under UK GAAP the defined benefit pension scheme liability was reflected in the financial statements net of deferred taxation. On transition to IFRS this has been shown in the accounts as a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset on accumulated actuarial gains and losses at 1 January 2004 was £5,850,000, the tax credit in the period was £62,000 resulting in an asset of £5,788,000 at 30 June 2004. Deferred tax assets which were shown within debtors have been transferred to non-current assets and deferred tax has been provided on the share based payments and the amortisation of intangibles: 1 January 2004 Movement 30 June 2004 Deferred tax asset Previously in employee benefits under UK GAAP 5,850 (62) 5,788 Previously in other receivables under UK GAAP 954 14 968 Amortisation of intangibles - 14 14 Share based payments 155 (71) 84 Set off of tax (354) - (354) _____ _____ _____ Total 6,605 (105) 6,500 ===== ===== ===== c) Acquisition of subsidiary The acquisition of Deanquip Valve Automation in January 2004 has been restated under IFRS3. As a consequence of applying IFRS3 the acquisition has been re-examined with a view to identifying specific intangibles. As a result intangibles previously treated as goodwill and amortised over 20 years are now being held on the balance sheet and are amortised over their estimated useful lives. The intangible assets identified and the charge to the accounts in 2004 in respect of these intangibles is as follows: Intangible at Amortisation acquisition charge in 2004 Company name 31 10 Customer relationships 233 8 Order backlog at acquisition 25 25 Agency agreements 60 6 Currency adjustment - (2) _____ _____ 349 47 Goodwill 322 - _____ _____ 671 47 ===== ===== The intangible amortisation for the period has been charged partly in cost of sales (£37,000) and partly in administration expenses (£10,000). d) Reserves A number of reserves are required under IFRS which were not recorded under UK GAAP. The breakdown of this movement at 30 June 2004 is as follows: UK GAAP Adjustment IFRS Capital redemption reserve 1,637 - 1,637 Revaluation reserve 2,405 (2,405) - Translation reserve - (1,792) (1,792) _____ _____ _____ Total 4,042 (4,197) (155) ===== ===== ===== The revaluation reserve is eliminated under IFRS as on first time adoption the value at which the assets are held is deemed to be cost. The translation reserve historically under UK GAAP has been included in the retained earnings reserve. e) Employee benefits Rotork adopted FRS17 for the 2004 year end under UK GAAP. Liabilities under the Group defined benefit pension schemes were shown on the face of the balance sheet but were stated net of the associated deferred tax asset. Under IFRS the deferred tax has been transferred to non-current assets (see note b) and the pension liability shown gross under employee liabilities. At 1 January 2004 the gross liability was £19,503,000 and at 30 June 2004, £19,299,000. Under IFRS certain liabilities have been reclassified as employee benefits from payables and provisions. These are: 1 January 2004 Movement 30 June 2004 UK GAAP employee benefit (defined benefit 13,653 (142) 13,511 pension scheme deficit net of deferred tax) Transfer to deferred tax assets (see note b) 5,850 (62) 5,788 Transfer from other receivables - pension - (5,000) (5,000) lump sum contribution Transfer from provisions 1,037 154 1,191 Transfer from other payables - non share 1,447 9 1,456 based payment accruals Transfer from other payables - share based 1,102 375 1,477 payment accruals Adjustment of share based payments to IFRS (323) (115) (438) ______ ______ ______ Total 22,766 (4,781) 17,985 ====== ====== ====== f) Deferred taxation liabilities Under UK GAAP certain properties had been revalued. This revaluation was shown within reserves as a separate reserve but under IFRS this has been consolidated into retained earnings. On transition, following IFRS1 the past revaluations have been adopted as deemed cost. As a consequence deferred tax of £722,000 has been provided on the balance at 1 January and 30 June 2004. In addition, the capitalisation of development costs has led a reduction in the historic charge to the income statement and requires the creation of a deferred tax liability. The liability at 1 January 2004 was £297,000 reducing by £33,000 during the year to £264,000 at 30 June 2004. 1 January 2004 Movement 30 June 2004 Deferred tax liability UK GAAP deferred tax liabilities 128 (20) 108 Revaluation reserve tax liability 722 - 722 Capitalised development costs liability 297 (33) 264 Set off of tax (354) - (354) _____ _____ _____ Total 793 (53) 740 ===== ===== ===== g) Other payables Under UK GAAP dividends are accounted for once proposed but IFRS only reports dividends as a charge to the accounts once paid. Reversal of the proposed dividend has reduced other payables by £4,487,000. Together with the £2,933,000 transfer in respect of UK GAAP employee benefits noted above this accounts for the £7,420,000 reduction in other payables. Income statement Notes Previous Effect of IFRS GAAP transition to IFRS Revenue 66,829 - 66,829 Profit from operations a, c, h, j 13,346 525 13,871 Net financial income j 390 (13) 377 _______ _______ _______ Profit before tax 13,736 512 14,248 Tax expense i (4,616) 35 (4,581) _______ _______ _______ Net profit for the year 9,120 547 9,667 ======= ======= ======= Basic earnings per share 10.5p 0.6p 11.1p Diluted earnings per share 10.4p 0.6p 11.0p h) Employee share schemes The Group applied IFRS2 to its active share based payment arrangements at 1 January 2004 except for those granted before 7 November 2002 and not vested by date of transition or 1 January 2005. The effect of accounting for equity settled share based payment transactions at fair value is to increase profit from operations by £33,000. The increase in profit reflects the reversal of provisions made under UK GAAP for the Long-Term Incentive Plan offsetting the charges for the option and Save As You Earn schemes. i) Tax expense The income tax charge in the income statement has changed as a result by the tax effect of some of the UK GAAP to IFRS adjustments. The analysis of the net change is: Amortisation of intangibles (see note b) 14 Capitalised development costs (see note f) 33 Cash settled share based payments 13 Equity settled share based payments (25) _____ 35 ===== j) Exchange gains and losses Under UK GAAP exchange gains and losses were reported in operating profit. Under IFRS any gains and losses resulting from retranslation of currency deposits are shown in net financial income which has resulted in profit from operations being increased by £13,000 and net financial income being reduced by the same amount. 7.
