Genus Plc (GNS.L) issues its interim management statement for the period from 1 January 2012 and also an update on the Group's strategy that has the objective of establishing the framework to enable an improving rate of growth from 2014 onwards. During the period since 1 January 2012, Genus has continued to trade in line with the board's view and ahead of the prior year.
Overall demand for Genus' products and services has continued broadly in line with that experienced in the first half of the current financial year. In North America, the porcine business has sustained its positive momentum with volumes up by 10% leading to a similar rise in royalty income. Improved average selling prices and tight cost control have enabled bovine profits to progress despite volumes at broadly the same level as last year.
