EXEL COMPOSITES PLC     STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE     6 SEPTEMBER 2017 at 09:00 EET

Exel Composites revises its outlook for the full year 2017 due to the continued strong development in both revenue and operating profit. The revised outlook also reflects the consolidation of the acquired Nanjing Jianhui Composite Material, JHFRP, to the Group.

The revised outlook for the full year 2017 is:

“Exel Composites estimates that both revenue and operating profit will increase significantly from the 2016 level.”

The previous outlook was:

“Exel Composites estimates that revenue with comparable company structure (i.e. without the acquisition of Nanjing Jianhui Composite Material, JHFRP) will increase from previous year level and adjusted operating profit will be higher than previous year level. In 2016, Exel Composites’ revenue was EUR 73.1 million and adjusted operating profit was EUR 2.6 million.”

Exel Composites publishes its Business Review for January-September 2017 on Wednesday 25 October 2017 at approximately 09:00 EET.
