Qinetiq warns of US election delays
British defence technology company Qinetiq yesterday posted a three per cent rise in full-year profit, helped by the benefits of a restructuring programme, but said the current year could be hit by contract delays caused by the US Presidential elections. The firm posted an underlying pre-tax profit of £118.3m for the year to the end of March, helped by a strong performance from its UK services business.
