AB Dynamics plc
FY 2025 trading update and Capital Markets Day
AB Dynamics plc ("AB Dynamics", the "Company" or the "Group"), the designer, manufacturer and supplier of advanced testing, simulation and measurement products to the global transport market, issues the following trading update, to coincide with the Company's Capital Markets Day taking place later today.
Current trading
Trading in the third quarter to 31 May 2025 was consistent with the trends noted in the Group's first half results, and the Board is pleased to report that performance over the first nine months of FY 2025 has remained in line with its expectations. The Group has a solid order book, providing visibility into the final quarter of the year.
Financial position
The balance sheet remains robust with net cash at 31 May 2025 of £31.2m (31 August 2024: £28.6m).
The Group's strong cash position and ongoing cash generation leave it well positioned to continue to invest in organic growth opportunities and further value enhancing acquisitions, which are key enablers to delivering the growth ambitions outlined in our value creation plan in November 2024.
Outlook
Whilst being mindful of a potential slowdown in timing of pipeline conversion due to the wider macroeconomic disruption and potential foreign exchange headwinds, the Board remains confident that the Group will make further financial and strategic progress this year. With good trading momentum entering the final quarter, and improving margins, the Board continues to expect to deliver adjusted operating profit for FY 2025 in line with market expectations1.
Capital Markets Day
The Group is today hosting a Capital Markets Day for institutional investors and analysts at its facility in Bradford on Avon. AB Dynamics' CEO, Dr James Routh, and CFO, Sarah Matthews-DeMers, together with other senior members of the executive leadership team will provide an outline of the Group's markets, customers and products, with a focus on the Group's value creation plan and the organic growth drivers for each of its three divisions. A copy of the presentation will be made available from 14:00 today on the Company's website at www.abdplc.com, with a recording of today's presentation available shortly after the event.
No further current trading information will be provided at the Capital Markets Day.
1Company compiled analyst consensus for the year ending 31 August 2025 is for adjusted operating profit of £22.3m with a range of £22.0m to £22.9m.
