Targeting acquisitions and contracts

QinetiQ CEO Steve Wadey has now got the bit between his teeth and is on a mission to expand the company internationally while exploiting growth opportunities in the core UK business. The recent acquisition of Meggitt Target Systems (MTS) seems to make strategic sense, both industrially and financially. This note introduces our FY18 numbers for the first time. Our new FY17 forecasts reflect the purchases of MTS and Rubikon and the £1bn amendment to the Long Term Partnering Agreement (LTPA) with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD).
