All businesses improved their adjusted¹ operating margin in the Period compared to 2020 full year: Aerospace by +2.9 ppts; Automotive by
+4.0 ppts; Powder Metallurgy by +6.9 ppts; and Ergotron by +0.8 ppts. Automotive and Powder Metallurgy are ahead of plan on their
restructuring projects
Aerospace is well positioned on many significant platforms; the civil aerospace business is now weighted more towards the faster
narrowbody recovery and Defence demand remains strong. As previously indicated, significant restructuring is ongoing
Automotive is well placed to benefit from the transition to electric vehicles. In the first half of this year over one third of new business
bookings awarded were for pure electric platforms, over 50% if full hybrid platforms are included. Additionally, during the last 18 months
Automotive has been awarded six major eDrive programmes for global and Chinese vehicle manufacturers. Automotive should grow at
more than double the rate of light vehicle production over the long-term
Powder Metallurgy is making clear market share gains, growing revenue at 43% in the first half, and with close to 70% of the business
achieving more than 14% adjusted ¹ operating margins
Justin Dowley, Chairman of Melrose Industries PLC, today said:
"We are continuing to see recovery in all our businesses with trading ahead of expectations. Encouragingly, our Aerospace business is now
weighted towards the expected narrowbody recovery. Our Automotive and Powder Metallurgy businesses are poised for strong growth as
soon as the well publicised chip shortage abates and the progression in margins is ahead of plan with more to come. As with all its promises,
Melrose has delivered its acquisition funding commitment to GKN pensioners early. We have scope on our balance sheet to return more
money to shareholders next year and we are excited by the upcoming possibilities."
