Ulf Henriksson, Chief Executive Officer of Invensys plc, commented:
”I am pleased that we have made further overall progress in the third quarter which has enabled us to report another good set of results.

“Process Systems produced another strong performance. Rail Systems showed good revenue growth although order intake was impacted by the phasing of Network Rail project bookings in the UK. Controls produced another satisfactory result despite the weakness in those businesses supplying the US new residential construction market and I am encouraged that APV produced a profit for a fourth consecutive quarter.

“Financing charges were significantly reduced due to the benefits of the 2006 Refinancing(3), resulting in a net profit in the quarter of £42 million compared with a small loss in the third quarter last year. Operating cash flow, although lower than last year, was strong at £56 million representing 100% conversion.

“With the improved performance in the period and continued progress in achieving a balance of results between quarters, the Board remains confident of a satisfactory outturn for the financial year as a whole.”
