Spectris plc, the precision instrumentation and controls company, today issues a trading update ahead of its results for the year ending 31 December 2005, due to be released on 7 March 2006.
Sales for the full year will have increased by 6 to 7%. All three sectors have shown year-on-year sales growth, with the strongest performance coming from Process Technology.
Profit before tax and earnings per share on an adjusted basis* are expected to be within the range of analysts' estimates.
Order trends in the latter part of 2005 give confidence that the company will continue to make good progress into 2006.
*Adjusted figures are stated before amortisation of intangible assets, goodwill charges, profits or losses on disposal of businesses or major fixed assets, and unrealised changes in the fair value of financial instruments.
