DIALIGHT PLC Interim Management Statement Dialight plc, the UK based leader in Applied Light Emitting Diode ("LED") Technology, today publishes its Interim Management Statement relating to the period from 1 July 2009 until 12 November 2009, in accordance with FSA Disclosure and Transparency Rule 4.3.
"Trading on track for full year" Dialight consists of two business segments:
Signals/Illumination The Board is pleased to report another good performance by the Signals/Illumination segment which is showing a strong revenue increase over the first half of 2009. Highlights of the trading performance are as follows:
Components In our trading statement of 27 July, we noted that there were the early signs of recovery in the Indication market. We are pleased to report that the market demand has shown some recovery during the third quarter of the year from a very low base. However, there remains some uncertainty in predicting trends and we do not expect the market to recover to 2008 levels in the short term. Within the electromagnetic components segment, shipments have commenced under the recently announced supply contract for the 'smart' switches for the US meter market and taken with sales of the 'smart' switches to other meter manufacturers, this segment will show good growth over the first half. Gross margin The ongoing programmes to reduce the material costs of product lines through re design and re-engineering are resulting in higher margins. Cashflow The Group maintains a strong balance sheet and cash generation is in line with expectations. Outlook Dialight continues to implement its strategy for driving growth through the provision of energy efficient and environmentally friendly lighting products. Based on the continued good progress of the Signals/Illumination segment in revenue together with an improved margin and the stabilization of activity levels in the Components segment, the Board is confident in maintaining its current outlook on trading for 2009.
