DCC PLC (LON:DCC), the FTSE 100-listed sales, marketing, distribution and business support services group, has said group operating profit for its third-quarter was in line with expectations.
In a brief trading update, the Ireland-based company said that, notwithstanding the more difficult macroeconomic environment, particularly in the UK, and relatively mild weather conditions, it delivered a good trading performance in the October-December quarter.
Assuming normal weather conditions in the current quarter, DCC said its full-year outcome should also be in line with expectations.
DCC expects to announce its results for the year ending 31 March 2020 on 19 May 2020.
Shares in DCC were up 1.3% in early deals on Tuesday.
