G4S plc UK DK : G4S presents 2017 segmental result

.

 G4S presents 2017 segmental results reflecting new organisation structure

In accordance with IFRS, the presentation of G4S's results from H1 2018 onwards will reflect the new organisation structure which was implemented on 1 January 2018.  This saw the creation of new management structures for Secure Solutions and Global Cash Solutions which has enabled us to further strengthen the Group's strategic, commercial and operational focus in each of our core service lines.

In addition, the presentation of the Group's results will reflect the:

• elimination of the separate presentation of portfolio businesses as the portfolio programme is substantially complete; and
• introduction of the separate presentation of the impact of business disposals in the current and prior year.

These presentational changes do not change the Group's audited prior period results.

Ahead of the announcement of its half year 2018 results on 9 August, to aid comparison with prior periods, a summary of the Group's results for H1 2017 and FY 2017 reflecting the above changes and presented at average exchange rates for the six months ended 30 June 2018 is set out below:

Reconciliations of the segmental and total group results as previously reported to those reported in the new structure are set out at the end of this announcement.

a) Results from core businesses as previously reported in the Group's results for the

six months ended 30 June 2017 or the year ended 31 December 2017 as appropriate.

Segment results were presented geographically with segments combining Secure Solutions and Cash Solutions.

b) As reported in the 2017 Integrated Report and Accounts, in January 2018 the Group created a new

 'Cash Solutions' division. This column presents the re-classification of the results from the Cash Solutions

 businesses that were previously reported in the geographical segments into the new Cash Solutions division. 

c) With effect from 1 January 2018, the Secure Solutions division was consolidated into four regions: Americas,

Europe & Middle East, Africa and Asia. Following this re-organisation, the results of certain businesses previously

reported in the Middle East & India region (primarily India and Bangladesh) are now reported in the Asia region. 

d) As reported in the 2017 Integrated Report and Accounts, the Group's portfolio business divestment and

closure programme is now materially complete. The financial impact of portfolio businesses is no longer material

 and to simplify reporting moving forwards, the Group has ceased separate columnar disclosure of these businesses.

e) To present results on a consistent and comparable basis, the results from any businesses sold in either the

current or prior periods are excluded from the underlying businesses in both the current and prior periods. These

include the Youth Services businesses in North America, the children's homes business in the UK and Group

businesses in Israel and Bulgaria in 2017 and the document storage business in Kenya and the Group's businesses

 in Hungary in 2018.

f) The 30 June 2017 results were presented at average exchange rates for the six months ended 30 June 2017

 and those for the year ended 31 December 2017 were presented at average exchange rates for the year ended

 31 December 2017. The comparative results have been re-presented at average exchange rates for the six months

 ended 30 June 2018.

g) Adjusted PBITA is an Alternative Performance Measure as defined in the 2017 Integrated Report and Accounts, together

 with restructuring, acquisition-related amortisation, specific and other items.
