Sir John Rose, Chief Executive, said: “Rolls-Royce delivered a robust performance despite the continuing uncertainty in the global economy. “We continue to make progress with our development programmes and new facility construction; these investments are designed to underpin the growth embedded in our order book and achieve productivity improvements. “We now expect underlying profit for the full-year to be modestly higher than 2009, mainly due to good cost control and a strong trading performance from our Marine business. We expect a modest cash inflow for the year and average net cash balances to remain at a similar level to the first-half. “We are increasing the first-half payment to shareholders by 6.7 per cent”.
