Robert Allan, Chief Executive Officer said: “The results are in line with the prospectus lodged with the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC) on May 13, 2011 for an initial public offering by Royal Wolf”.

“We are now well placed to continue to expand our business and are looking forward to delivering the FY2012 outlook provided in the prospectus.”

“The development of our product range and infrastructure and the focus on high quality customer service gives us confidence and the capacity to deliver growth and increase shareholder value.”

“Our three sectors of containerised portable storage, portable buildings and freight containers have all demonstrated leasing revenue growth in FY2011 compared to FY2010. Improved utilisation and disciplined cost management have also contributed to the improved EBITDA.”

“We are excited by the challenges and opportunities. The Royal Wolf team has the products and skills to consolidate our position as an industry leader and deliver the results forecast in the prospectus.”
