FY18 adjusted operating profit of £27.3m (FY17 £26.1m) reflected profitable growth in both divisions, up 11.8% on a constant currency basis, demonstrating momentum behind the business strategy. FY18 adjusted EPS of 77.1p (FY17 83.8p) was fractionally down at constant currency due to a lower tax provision release versus FY17. However, FY18 dividend of 16.02p (FY17 12.32p) reflected management’s confidence in the business going forward.
