"AVEVA delivered another excellent year of growth in 2012/13. As a truly international company selling world leading technology into global industries we have been able to benefit from the positive fundamentals in many of our markets. Our goal is to deliver sustainable, strong, long-term earnings growth. Our global platform and technology leadership have been key to delivering this expansion, even during a period of severe economic uncertainty.

Against this backdrop we view the outlook for 2013/14 with confidence."
