Revenue rose 7% in the four months to October 31, with aftermarket up 32% year on year although original equipment volume growth remained constrained by industry-wide supply chain issues, Melrose said in a trading statement.
The company still expects adjusted operating profit £550m - £570m, adding that it was on track to hit a £700m profit target in 2025.
