Adjusted Operating Profit* grew 62% to £21.4 million (FY25: £13.2 million), a Company record, through strong trading, disciplined cost control and higher tax and expenditure credits. Excluding a non-recurring £3.9 million gain from the sale of publishing rights in FY25, Adjusted Operating Profit* more than doubled year-on-year.
Operating profit increased 97% to £25.0 million (FY25: £12.7 million), reflecting strong underlying trading performance alongside a one-off transitional tax credit of £4.4 million.

Basic EPS increased 76% to 74.6p per share (FY25: 42.4p per share), driven by strong profit growth, while the £15.5 million invested in share buyback programmes delivered a 10% reduction in total voting rights and a corresponding 11% enhancement to EPS for FY27 and beyond.
