    Trading Update

    De La Rue plc (“De La Rue” or “the Group”) today announces its trading update for the six months and the full year ended 26 March 2016.

    Full year revenue for the Group has been broadly in line with expectations. Full year underlying operating profit is now anticipated to be around £62m which is above previous expectations. This higher level of operating profit has been driven mainly by strong operational outperformance on certain contracts within our Currency business. Identity Solutions and Product Authentication and Traceability (PA&T, formerly Security Products) have been trading broadly in line with expectations.

    Net debt at 26 March 2016 was £5m lower than at the end of the prior year at £106m.

    Taking into account the above outperformance in the second half of 2015/16, the Board’s expectations for 2016/17 remain unchanged.

    The Group will issue its 2015/16 full year results at 7am BST Tuesday 24 May 2016. Analyst presentation and conference call details will be provided two weeks prior to the announcement.
