RPS GROUP PLC
("RPS" or "the Group")
Advance Notice of Interim Results for the Six Months ended 30 June 2007
The Board of RPS announces that the Interim Results for the first half of 2007 will be published on 7th August 2007 at 7.00am.
At the time of its Annual General Meeting (24th May 2007) RPS provided a trading update. Trading since then has continued to be encouraging and the Board, therefore, still expects that the Interim Results will be good.
When published, the Interim Results will show certain changes in the segmentation of the Group’s business. These changes will not affect the overall Group results and have been made to reflect the way our activities are organised and the markets they serve. The environmental sciences activities, which in prior years were included within Planning and Development, will be included in Environmental Management. The nuclear safety business which, in prior years, was included within Energy, will also be included within Environmental Management. In order to provide appropriate year on year comparisons when the 2007 results are published business segment information will be revised for prior periods as shown in notes 1 & 2 to this announcement.
