Atkins Profit Up

摘要

Rail revenue in the six months to September 30 2008 was down at ￡99.6m from ￡102m the year before, according to results announced by WS Atkins plc on November 26. This reflected a reduced level of activity in relation to Metronet following its entry into administration.rnOperating profit increased substantially from ￡3.9m to ￡7.1m, driven by an improved operating margin up from 3.8% at 7.1%. This was due to 'the continuing recovery' of Network Rail contracts 'and the inclusion of work for London Underground under the new contractual structure'.
