The AB Dynamics plc Board has proposed a final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 August 2026 of 7.00p per share totalling £1.6m. If approved, the final dividend will be paid on 29 January 2027 to shareholders on the register on 15 January 2027. The ex-dividend date will be 14 January 2027.
Other financial highlights include:
- Results in line with guidance communicated in July 2026, as the Group delivered a resilient performance against a very challenging market backdrop. Revenue decreased by 12% with the beginning of the year affected by disruption from tariffs and the second half impacted by geopolitical events together with challenging automotive market conditions, particularly in Europe
- Adjusted operating margin maintained at the Group’s medium term target of 20%, as the negative impact of operational gearing was offset by a combination of the full year effect of operational improvements and early cost mitigation actions implemented by management
- Investment in capex and product development of £7.1m and acquisitions of £15.5m, to support growth in the medium term
- The Group’s balance sheet remains robust with net cash at the end of the year of £24.5m, providing scope for further value enhancing investment in FY 2027 and beyond
