Transformation Plan

Second profit upgrade; Q2 ahead of targets

The Transformation Plan began with the November 2025 interims and drove profit upgrades and net cash. Q1 FY2027 beat sales and margin targets, and guidance was raised on 22 July. This AGM update says Q2 growth and margin continue, and FY2027 adjusted PBT is now 'significantly ahead' of expectations.

Guidance
FY2027 adjusted profit before tax likely significantly ahead of previous expectations (raised from 'ahead' on 22 July)
Q2 margin
Gross margin continues to comfortably exceed the 45% plus ambition
Q2 sales
Q1 growth, which exceeded 3-5% plus, expected to continue in Q2
Return on sales
Likely to meet the new 15% plus target in H1
Cash
Net cash position continues to improve; further cash generation expected
Next milestone
