INTERIM RESULTS

OVERVIEW
The results for the first six months of this financial year reflect level turnover and reduced profits compared to the prior period, reflecting the continued impact of the Group’s dealings with its customer on Energy from Waste (EfW) projects where commercial difficulties are being encountered. The opening order book included two large projects from the EfW sector; these projects were on target to be completed during the 2018 financial year however programme extension persists.
Gross profit margins remain impacted by the ongoing difficulties in recovering value from variations and the costs associated with programme extension, a situation which is likely to remain until the projects can be completed, closed out, and the deserved recompense received for the efforts expended.

OUTLOOK
FSD’s sales effort remains committed to the water and EfW sectors. The Board expect the anticipated value of new orders in the water sector to become more uncertain as the remaining time to the end of the current AMP reduces and timing of new work in the EfW sector is difficult to predict. The order book however remains strong and the balance sheet sound. The directors believe that the group remains well positioned for the future.
