BBA GROUP PLC
AGM STATEMENT
BBA Group plc held its Annual General Meeting in London today. At the Meeting, Roberto Quarta, Chairman of BBA, made the following statement :
“In the Group’s 2004 Annual Report I stated: ‘Both of our businesses grew sales appreciably in 2004, albeit that earnings were held back by currency translation and raw material price increases. Nevertheless, we have continued to invest in new businesses, strategic acquisitions and productivity initiatives.’’
Looking to the current year, we continue to be dependent, to some extent , on currencies and material price inputs. I can now report that 2005 has started satisfactorily.
