Water group Pennon said its overall financial performance since 30 September 2011 remains on track to meet management expectations after progress across all of its divisions.
South West Water continued its strong performance against the 2010-2015 (K5) regulatory contract, with capital investment up significantly from the previous year.
Viridor remains well positioned but full year profits are expected to be a little below those of last year after it experienced a reduction in recyclate prices over the winter months while a higher level of activity year to date led to an increase in bid costs.
