Commenting, Steve Ingham, Chief Executive Officer of PageGroup, said:“Although 2013 was a challenging year for the recruitment industry and the global economy in general, PageGroup was able to deliver a robust performance, with our key measure of gross profit (net fee income) just 2.5% lower than 2012, at £514m. However, as a result of our focus on operational efficiencies, we delivered an operating profit before exceptional items of £68.2m, exceeding the prior year by 4.7%.”
“We achieved good performances in our significant UK and US markets, and also in Spain, the UAE, Mexico and Japan. There were also some signs of recovery in Continental Europe towards the end of the year. In contrast, Australia remained a difficult market, with the continued downturn in the resources sector, and our largest business in Latin America, Brazil, felt the impact of more challenging conditions. The refocusing of the business in the USA has been highly successful. We now have a fast growing and profitable business in this region which has considerable potential for PageGroup. Overall, year-on-year gross profit growth was experienced in 20 of the 34 countries in which we operate.”
“The strength and timing of any recovery in world economic markets is uncertain, our visibility relatively short and we remain exposed to some volatile economies. This is demonstrated by the recent adverse movements in foreign currencies that are impacting our overseas results when translated into Sterling (impact on 2014 operating profit of c. £4m at current exchange rates). However, we have continued to invest in additional fee earner headcount in selected markets since the start of the year. We believe our clear and consistent growth strategy, our geographic and discipline diversity and our strong balance sheet, with £85 million of net cash at year end, ensures that we remain in a strong position to respond to any improvements in market conditions in 2014. This is also reflected in our proposed increase of 5% in the total dividend to 10.5p.”
