McBride plc reported revenue results for the six months ended December 31, 2017. For the first half year, group revenues at constant currency declined 0.6%. Excluding sales from Danlind, which was acquired at the end of September, underlying Household revenues were 3.4% lower versus the same period last year, with growth in the UK and South regions offset by ongoing decline in France and the negative impact in Germany of the previously disclosed major contract loss.

The group's full year adjusted profit before tax and adjusted EPS are now expected to be broadly in line with the prior year. Revenues are now expected to be more than reversed during the second half year.
