Avon Rubber p.l.c. provided financial guidance for the half year and full year of fiscal 2014. The company expects the half year result to be substantially better than in 2013. The Group has seen strong conversion of profits into cash and expects half year net debt to be significantly lower than the £10.9 million reported at the previous year end.

The company believes that the Group's full year adjusted operating profit will be towards the upper end of current market expectations.
