Trading Statement
Breedon Aggregates Limited is pleased to announce the following trading update ahead of its preliminary results announcement due on 5 March 2013.
The Company performed well over the 12-month period ended 31 December 2012, with revenue broadly in line with market expectations. The EBITDA margin has continued to improve since the trading update in November 2012, which together with lower depreciation, depletion and amortisation and an improved contribution from our Associates, means underlying profit before tax is set to significantly exceed expectations.
