Trading Update
Nationwide, the largest dedicated provider of automotive crash
repair services in the UK, is pleased to provide an update on
trading for the financial year ended 31 December 2012.
Results for the year are expected to be in line with current
market forecasts. The Group generated better cash flows than
expected taking into account payments of GBP0.8m relating to the
exit of three property leases and the reported net cash position at
the 31 December 2012 of GBP5.0m. As previously indicated, the Board
is implementing the revised IAS19 pension accounting standard and
anticipates reporting a reduced deficit of GBP22.7m for the year
(2011: GBP26.1m). The Directors expect to propose a maintained
final dividend of 3.6p per share, taking the total dividend for the
year to 5.5p per share.
The structural pressures in the motor insurance claims market
remain resulting in reduced volumes in the marketplace. Against
this backdrop, Nationwide's sector performance was good, supported
by its position as a national operator with an integrated range of
services. As previously reported, in December 2012, Nationwide
renewed major contracts with Hastings Direct and Zurich Insurance
and commenced a short term arrangement with Aviva PLC following
Aviva's previous supplier entering into administration.
Nationwide's progress in building its non-insurance funded
revenues over the year was very good with strong year-on-year
revenue growth for both fleet and retail. The scope to build the
Group's presence in these markets as well as in the insurance
market remains significant over the coming years.
The Board expects to announce preliminary results for the year
to 31 December 2012 on 9 April 2013.
