Group revenue, including the contribution of its majority stake in Origin Enterprises, rose by 8.2% to EUR2.07bn. Stripping out the contribution from Origin, sales were up 6.9%. A strong performance in the group’s US and rest of world units – up 10.6% and 11.8% respectively – provided a boost to sluggish European sales, up 2%.

The company said current consensus forecasts for fiscal 2013 look “reasonable”. According to Kepler analysts, adjusted net profit is expected to total around EUR324.7m.
