Progress towards 5 year strategic plan

  1. EBIT target upwardly revised by $16m to account for FY14 positive currency impact

Earnings growth driven by Australia and UK Metals

  • North America EBIT decreased $21m over FY13 due to lower earnings from electronics recycling ("SRS") and lower sales volumes in metals recycling, impacted by severe winter weather
  • Australasia EBIT increased by $33m over FY13 boosted by both stronger sales volumes and an expansion in sales margins in the Australia metals recycling business
  • Europe EBIT increased $40m over FY13, due to materially improved results in UK Metals and SRS Germany, offset partially by losses in UK SRS
