Trading update

Creston plc, the marketing communications group, provides an update on trading for the year ended 31 March 2016 ahead of its unaudited preliminary results for the period, which will be announced on Wednesday 8 June 2016.

The Board anticipates the Group's financial performance to be in line with the trading statement of January 2016 and consensus expectations for revenue, Headline PBT and Headline Diluted Earnings per Share, with net cash ahead of expectations at over GBP1 million. As previously announced, exceptional charges against reported PBT will include a charge for impairment in the carrying value of goodwill.

Barrie Brien, Group Chief Executive, commented: "We have ended the year in line with consensus expectations. The actions we have taken since our January update to the market, plus a more stable outlook for our clients, continue to develop our strong foundation for future growth."
