(Fixes typographical error in headline)

LONDON, June 1 (Reuters) - Johnson Matthey (LSE: JMAT.L - news) , a world leader in making catalysts for car emission-control devices, on Thursday reported a 12 percent rise in full-year revenue and 18 percent growth in operating profit after a restructuring and cost-cutting programme.

It recommended a final dividend of 54.5 pence per share, up 5 percent, which it said reflected "confidence in the group's medium-term prospects". (Reporting by Barbara Lewis and Justin George Varghese; Editing by David Goodman)
