Norman Askew, Chairman of IMI commented:
The continued progress we have made in our platform businesses is demonstrated by another year of improved performance with organic sales growth of around 5%, operating profit increased by 16%, operating margins increased to nearly 12% and continued strong operational cash generation. With a healthy order book across our business we expect this steady progress to continue in 2006.
