"Delays in some new product and service areas have shifted some revenue into the second half, this is a transitory effect though and the board's expectations for the full year remain unchanged," said RM in a company statement.
The board said the interim dividend will be increased by 6% to 1.26p per share "reflecting continued confidence in the group's progress."
