LONDON (Thomson Financial) - SSL International Plc. said its first quarter
trading is in line with expectations with good underlying revenue growth,
beneficial exchange rate movement and a strong balance sheet.
"Durex and Scholl, continue to make good progress, driving us towards our
target of growing operating profit by at least 10 percent again this year," said
chairman Gerald Corbett.
In a trading statement, the consumer products manufacturer said its gross
margin is being maintained despite input cost inflation and added that it
continues to expect at least a constant gross margin on a full-year basis.
