Carillion PLC reaffirmed earnings guidance for 2015. In 2015, total revenue is expected to grow strongly, with the group's operating profit in line with the guidance the group gave at the half year. Profit will be less second-half weighted than in previous years, although the group expects to revert to a greater second half weighting in 2016.

Operating cash flow remains strong and the group continues to expect profit in 2015 to be fully cash-backed. Year-end net borrowing is also expected to be in line with previous guidance, with a potentially modest increase in net borrowing, compared with December 31, 2014, due largely to investments in business acquisitions and Public Private Partnership projects.
