Full Year 2018 Bodycote PLC Earnings Call Transcript
Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Bodycote 2018 Results Presentation. I'm very pleased to be here with you. My name is Stephen Harris, Group Chief Executive. And I have with me, of course, Dominique Yates, our Chief Financial Officer. We've got a slightly different agenda for you today. I'm going to actually take you through the business review first, and then hand over to Dominique. And in fact, when we go through the business review, you'll notice that we have some different slides and a slightly different way of looking at the group, which hopefully will allow you to see some things which perhaps weren't so easy to see in the past.
So without further ado, let's move to the highlights. I mean, from a highlight standpoint, pretty much every financial metric is on the positive side here. It's very good. 6.7% constant currency revenue growth, tiny acquisition in there, which is in the roundings, really. 13% headline operating profit growth at constant currency. And headline EPS, up 14%; free cash flow, very proud
