Outlook

IMI has delivered another strong set of results in 2011 with good growth and record underlying profits, margins and earnings. In light of this performance, and our confidence in the future prospects for the business, we are pleased to propose an increase in the full year dividend of 15%.

Whilst the global macro-economic outlook remains uncertain, we are committed to our well defined plans to drive strategic convergence, accelerate future growth, deliver further margin improvement and make greater use of our strong balance sheet in delivering value enhancing acquisitions.

Based on current market conditions we remain optimistic that the Group will make further progress in 2012.
