HAYNES PUBLISHING GROUP P.L.C. ("the Haynes Group")

Interim Management Statement

Quarter 1 - 13 weeks to 28 August 2009

First quarter trading and business highlights

Haynes Group revenue, excluding revenue from the UK print operation sold in February 2009, ended the first quarter of financial year ended 31 May 2010 in line with last year, this despite the continuing difficult market conditions.

Sales in the UK and Europe have had an encouraging start to the financial year, up 8% on the prior period. Revenue in the UK was ahead by 10% helped by strong sales in the general publishing division, which ended the 13 week period 19% ahead of last year while revenue from its automotive manuals tracked in line with last year. In the Netherlands, revenue from Vivid, after translation to Sterling, ended the period 3% ahead of last year.  

In the US, market conditions remain largely unchanged from that reported at the year-end with customer replenishment orders continuing to fall short of their own sales levels. As a result, US revenue in Sterling ended the 13 weeks 6% down on the same period last year.

With no major additions or disposals during the period, there have been no significant changes in the financial position of the Group since 31 May 2009 year-end.
