StockMarketWire.com - Weir Group expects to deliver growth in line with current market expectations as it confirms an 11% increase in group orders in Q1 as mining and infrastructure markets continue to strengthen.
The company saw a 67% increase in original equipment orders, with a strong project pipeline, although aftermarket orders were down 2% on the back of residual Covid disruption to ore production.
It has a £36million Q1 order for energy-saving High Pressure Grinding Rolls and screens and a £32million order in April for electric-powered mine de-watering pumps.
In addition, net debt has reduced significantly since the year end due to the £256million net proceeds and £66million reduction in lease liabilities from the sale of the Oil & Gas division, which completed on 1 February 2021.
