However, in a year that sees many nations marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War, it is appropriate to recognise the ongoing contribution that science and technology make to our security, and to note that QinetiQ is the custodian of a rich heritage. With this heritage comes distinctive knowledge and unique facilities that are utilised for the benefit of our customers. The results The results for the year were in line with the Board’s expectations. In the year to 31 March 2014, Group revenue was £1,191.4m (2013: £1,327.8m), and underlying operating profit* was £132.7m (2013: £168.7m) due to the impact of US military drawdown on product sales. Full year underlying earnings per share* were 16.0p (2013: 18.9p), in line with the lower underlying operating profit partially offset by the reduced net finance costs and lower underlying effective tax rate*. Underlying operating cash conversion* remained strong at 103% (2013: 104%) with net cash increasing to £170.5m (31 March 2013: £74.0m). Strategy We believe that driving an increase in sustainable earnings represents the best route to delivering shareholder value and I am encouraged that our Organic-Plus strategy has recorded notable milestones this year. During the year the Group initiated a strategic review of US Services, because the division was not delivering its role Key highlights in the portfolio which, as a small player in a large market, was to grow profitably by building market share. The division • Organic-Plus strategy has recorded some notable milestones this year was too small to benefit from significant economies of scale, • Sale of US Services provides route to maximum value from this division but too large to benefit from US Government small-business set-aside initiatives. • The Board intends to return £150m to shareholders by way of a share buyback Following a market testing exercise, the Board concluded that a sale of US Services provided the route to maximum • The full year dividend represents an increase of 21% value and that the price agreed after the year end with • The Board’s policy is that the dividend will be progressive from The SI Organization, Inc. fully recognised its market position this new base and future prospects. Following the disposal the Board considers the continuing • Ensuring effective stewardship of QinetiQ is a priority for the Group to be highly differentiated and well positioned to Board along with succession planning and strategic growth deliver an increase in sustainable earnings. Capital return Given the strength of the balance sheet, I was pleased to be able to announce that we intend to return £150m to shareholders by way of a share buyback. The Board believes that the scale of the return reflects the strong cash generative characteristics of the Group, as well as its confidence in the Organic-Plus strategy, while taking into account the continuing uncertainty in QinetiQ’s end markets, its pension obligations and the strength of its working capital position. We remain committed to maintaining an efficient balance sheet. Dividend The Board proposes a final dividend of 3.20p per share for the year ended 31 March 2014 (2013: 2.70p) making the full year 2 QinetiQ Group plc Annual Report and Accounts 2014 Strategic report: overview Directors’ report Financial statements Additional information dividend 4.60p (2013: 3.80p). Subject to approval at the Outlook Annual General Meeting (AGM) the final dividend will be paid on 5 September 2014 to shareholders on the register Notwithstanding the strong performance in EMEA Services last year, the MOD at 8 August 2014. The full year dividend represents an transformation programme is likely to create some short-term uncertainty in increase of 21% reflecting the Board’s confidence that the UK defence market, and the division’s performance as a whole is expected the Group’s Organic-Plus strategy will deliver value to to remain steady this year. shareholders over the medium term. The Board’s policy is that the dividend will be progressive from this new level At the same time there is a wide range of possible outcomes for the performance which is consistent with the strength of the retained Group.
