Outsourcing specialist Serco (LON:SRP) has said that it expects to report first half revenues of £1.35 billion, down from £1.51 billion in the same period of last year due to contracts terminating in 2017 and currency movements. At the same time, profit guidance has been increased to £35-40 million due to transformation savings. Similar trends are expected to play out over the full year with revenues down and profits up relative to 2017.
