( ' Vp ' or the ' Group ' )
Trading Update
Vp plc, the equipment rental specialist, today provides a
trading update for the period since the Interim Results were issued
on 29 November 2022 (the 'period').
The Board is pleased to report that the Group has continued to
make good progress within its core markets of infrastructure,
construction, housebuilding and energy and expects to report
results for the full year, in line with the Board's
expectations.
UK
The UK division has continued to make good progress and has seen
the benefit of a stronger civil engineering and infrastructure
market. Whilst general construction sector demand shows some level
of volatility it is stable overall, though the Group has seen some
regional market weakness in the South East of England in recent
months. Whilst our housebuilding customer base has, as anticipated,
reduced volumes since the start of the new calendar year, the
position is stable for Vp and the Group remains busy in that
sector.
To combat cost inflationary pressures the Group has successfully
negotiated price increases across its customer base, which has
helped mitigate those increased costs. We have over recent months
taken the opportunity to deliver some minor restructuring across a
number of business units as we look to optimise our businesses to
operate in the current market environment.
International
Both the TR Group and Airpac Rentals divisions have traded
satisfactorily and made further progress as their respective
markets maintained their recovery during the period.
Outlook
The Board is pleased to see that many of the Group's end markets
are continuing to demonstrate resilience and growth. Whilst
macro-economic pressures are expected to remain for the foreseeable
future the Board believes that the quality of Vp's specialist
business offer, people and financial strength will enable the Group
to react quickly to both challenges and opportunities as specific
markets recover.
Commenting on the Trading Update, Neil Stothard, Chief Executive
of Vp, said: "Since we reported our Interim Results last November,
the Group has continued to make good progress across our core
markets and we are pleased that our performance for the full year
will be in line with the Board's expectations. In the period, we
have worked hard to successfully mitigate cost inflationary
pressures and we believe that the Group is well placed to optimise
performance in the current environment. We are confident that we
will continue to deliver value growth for our shareholders and will
be able to react quickly to both challenges and opportunities as
specific markets recover."
