Optima Health Plc reported unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025, with revenue growing 17% to £59.5 million, in line with expectations. Adjusted EBITDA was £8.3 million, a slight decrease from £8.7 million in the prior year, attributed to national insurance increases and plc costs.

Cash generated from operating activities improved to £6.5 million from a £0.6 million outflow in the prior period, and the company maintains a strong new business pipeline valued at £11.5 million annually.
