Financial Summary

  • Revenue increase of +32% at £5.9m
    (H1 FY21: £4.4m) as sales recover and customer demand stabilises
  • Gross margin 23.5% (H1 FY21: 25.1%) some contractual margin squeeze and shorter term labour inefficiencies held to support recovery
  • Loss before tax improvement +£0.4m to £0.7m (H1 FY21: loss £1.1m) and +£0.4m EBITDA loss improvement to £0.2m (H1 FY21: loss £0.6m), supported by sales improvement and lower Administrative overheads
  • Cash at Bank £2.0m (H1 2021: £3.5m) and £2.5m undrawn IDF headroom, movement driven by working capital investment to support sales recovery. Partly due to timing on customer receivables, with position higher at £2.7m at 24 June
  • Outlook - currently in line with expectations

Market Outlook

Air Travel Recovering

  • Air travel impacted by Covid-19 but now recovering, albeit slower in Asia due to Omicron restrictions
  • Single aisle (A320/B737) will recover faster than twin aisle travel (A350/
    B787)
  • Knock on effect on airline fleet renewal and aircraft build rates, particularly with high oil price
  • Composite heavy platforms mainly twin aisle, but sustainability means all new platforms will be composite
