Restructuring programme initiated
• This will programme will Address structural changes in geographic trends in markets Deliver efficiencies Improve decision making quality and speed Resize the cost structure with a particular emphasis on overheads
• Expected to generate annual cost savings in excess of £10m by 2017 Expected to result in total exceptional restructuring cost of c. £20 million in 2015 & 2016
• £3.1 million incurred in first half
• Foundry and corporate cost reductions started in late 2014 / early 2015 Benefits already coming through
• Steel division included to address structural changes in markets
21
• Challenging markets overall, but with some brighter spots
• Further margin improvement Margin recovery in line with our plan: 189 bps delivered since 2012
• Ahead of continuing self-help measures, implementation of a structural cost reduction plan to substantially improve our cost base
