Modern Water plc provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2017. For the year, the company announced that its results for the year ended 31 December 2017, whilst broadly in line with the prior year numbers in terms of (i) revenue and (ii) operating profit prior to exceptional items, are expected to be below market expectations, primarily due to a shortfall in anticipated revenue originating from its Monitoring Division in China following its change in 2017 of its product sales model from exclusive distributor to multiple channels.
