Commenting on the outlook, Chief Executive Richard Longdon said:
"The broad international spread of our business, combined with robust underlying market drivers, has once again proved effective in enabling us to deliver strong underlying growth and an improvement in profit margin, despite varied economic conditions across some of the regions in which we operate, and different rates of expansion across our chosen markets. This reflects AVEVA's strong competitive position, and the value that our Engineering and Design and Information Management solutions deliver to our customers. We are confident we can achieve our targets for further growth."
