The Eurocell Plc Board approved an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2025 of 2.3 pence per share (£2.3 million), an increase of 5% compared to H1 2024. The interim dividend will be paid on 10 October 2025 to shareholders on the register at the close of business at 12 September 2025 and shares will be marked ex-dividend on 11 September 2025.
Other financial highlights include:
Adjusted operating profit up 9%, driven by a strong contribution from Alunet (acquired in March 2025) and effective cost control, partially offset by lower organic sales volumes, labour cost inflation and investment in strategic initiatives
Adjusted profit before tax down 3%, reflecting higher finance costs following the Alunet acquisition
Continuing focus on operational improvements, cost reduction and cash flow management
Further progress with five-year strategy
Full year outlook below previous expectations, with trading conditions remaining subdued and continuing macroeconomic uncertainty impacting key markets
