Arup uses turnover and profit per person (before tax, dividends and staff profit share) as a KPI to monitor the continued contribution to the Group. For the year ended 31 March 2011, turnover per person was £97k (2010: £90k) and profit before tax per person was £5k (2010: £11k).
Top line global income rose by 8.7% to £966.4m (mainly due to the consolidation of Arup's South African business), while net cashflow was positive at £40.9m and operating profits were £24.6m.
Philip Dilley, Arup Group Chairman, commented:
"These results reflect our strengths as a global player. They are also in line with our forecasts for what we knew would be a challenging year. We are particularly pleased to have maintained global income levels, which underlines the fact that our clients continue to see the value we bring. Our resilience is founded on our established strategy of diversifying across businesses and economies.
"Looking ahead, economic volatility is set to persist in some markets, so the Board will maintain our focus on core strategy and the bottom line so we can return value to our staff and maintain our financial strength."
