In an update for the year to the end of September, De La Rue said it also now expects net debt to be better than previous guidance, in the low £80m range.
The company had previously guided to adjusted operating profit in the low £20m range for the full year, and broadly break even for the first half. It had also said net debt would rise to around £100m at both half and full year.
Interim results are due on 19 December.
