Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc provided earnings guidance for the year 2019. The company's expectations remain for organic sales growth ahead of global industrial production growth as focus on maintaining a good level of base business and growth in small project sales, while delivering a number of large projects carried over from the previous year. The company anticipates that a combination of improved operational efficiencies, increased operational gearing from seasonally higher second half shipments, benefits from the restructuring in the first half, improved pricing discipline and the acquisition of higher-margin Thermocoax, will result in the adjusted operating profit margin for the full year being similar to that reported in 2018. Original expectations for this business remain unchanged. While the Group's strong first half organic sales growth was ahead of expectations, industrial production growth forecasts for the second half of the year have weakened below earlier estimates. As a result, overall full year expectations remain unchanged.
