Synectics plc provided earnings guidance for the ended 30 November 2017. Consolidated profits are anticipated to be in line with market expectations. This represents growth of over 10% in underlying profits before tax compared with the year ended 30 November 2016, on revenues that were broadly flat. The Group's consolidated operating margin increased primarily as a result of better than anticipated performance in the higher-margin gaming surveillance sector, which was offset by weaker performance in the lower-margin UK on-vehicle market.
