Trading Update and Notice of Results

Sanne, the specialist provider of outsourced corporate and fund administration, reporting and fiduciary services, today provides a trading update following the Group's financial year end on 31 December.

Following the trading statement provided on 30 November 2016, contained within the announcement of the acquisition of IFS, the Group has enjoyed continued momentum in the final month of the year and further benefited from a slightly better than expected performance in the US business, FAS. In addition, the Group has also seen a slightly lower than expected interest cost and a lower effective tax rate when averaged across the Group's 14 jurisdictions.

As a result of the trading position referenced above the Group expects to report an underlying operating profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 marginally ahead of the Board's previous expectations and, given the Group's interest and tax position, to report normalised earnings per share materially ahead of its previous expectations.

The Group will announce its full year results for the year to 31 December 2016 on 29 March 2017.
