Other Financial Highlights
- H1 performance reflects previously guided second half bias for FY 2026, with full year adjusted operating profit expected to be in line with current market expectations.
- Order intake was £64m (H1 2025: £66m, FY 2025: £110m) with market and customer activity returning to more positive levels following a subdued third quarter of FY 2025 which had been impacted by disruption from tariffs.
- Revenue decreased by 16% reflecting the previously communicated delays in the timing of order intake and customer delivery requirements, together with the weaker than anticipated volumes at our VadoTech Testing Services business in China.
- Operating margin maintained at 18.6%, as the negative impact of operational gearing was offset by a combination of the full year effect of operational improvements, management implemented cost mitigation actions and positive revenue mix.
