Halma failed to impress with its interim management statement on Tuesday, despite reporting revenue growth in all regions and all sectors since the end of September. The safety, health and environmental technology group said the growth came despite the increased strength of Sterling against the US Dollar and Euro, and predicted that adjusted profit before tax for the year ending March 29th 2014 would be within the range of £139m to £140m. Discussing its regional performance, the group said: "Asia Pacific has continued to grow strongly with good growth in China. The rate of growth in the UK has improved, Mainland Europe has maintained good progress, whilst there has been lower growth in the US. This reflects Halma's ability to sustain growth in both developed and developing regions." On a sector basis, the group generated revenue growth across the board, with strong underlying performances in the Process Safety and Infrastructure Safety businesses. However, the Medical sector made slower progress. The group has been undergoing its final phase of reorganisation of certain businesses with Environmental & Analysis, which it said was starting to show improved performance. Across the group, Halma has continued to increase investment in research and development resources, people development and the expansion of its global footprint in an effort to support organic growth. The share price dipped 0.14% to 592.64p by 08:45 Tuesday. NR
