Language services group RWS hiked its annual dividend after its adjusted annual profit rose by about a two thirds.
Pre-tax profit for the year through September fell 6% to £55.0 million, though underlying profit, which excludes one-off times such as acquisition costs, jumped to 66% to £116.4 million.
Revenue rose 95% to £694.5 million and RWS declared a full-year dividend of 10.50p per share, up 17% year-on-year.
RWS said it was trading in line with its expectations for the full year, driven by continued organic revenue growth at constant currency and operating margin expansion.
