Highlights

  • Strong performance in Agricultural Supplies despite significant raw material cost increases
  •  
  • Engineering order book value increased 14% during H1 with improved utilisation and stronger margins
  • Speciality Agriculture margins impacted by timing difference between input cost increases and sale price movements
  • Full year outlook in line with Board’s expectations

Outlook

During the second half, an improved performance in Engineering, where order books stand at record levels, together with continued positive trading in Agricultural Supplies are expected to offset volume and pricing challenges in Speciality Agriculture.  The Board is confident in the prospects of all three divisions in the medium term and its full year expectations are unchanged. 

 

Peter Page, Executive Chairman, commented:

"Carr's Group has performed well in the first half, with a strong performance in Agricultural Supplies at a time of extraordinary raw material cost increases and a marked recovery in Engineering offsetting input cost impact on margins in Speciality Agriculture. The outlook for the second half remains positive with the group on track to meet the Board’s expectations for the full year."

Highlights

  • Engineering order book value increased 14% during H1 with improved utilisation and stronger margins
  • Speciality Agriculture margins impacted by timing difference between input cost increases and sale price movements

Peter Page, Executive Chairman, commented:
