Diales Group Plc (AIM: DIAL), the leading global professional services consultancy to the construction and engineering industries, providing multi-disciplinary consultancy services including expert witness, claims and dispute resolution services, today announces a trading update for the year ended 30 September 2026 ("FY2026").
Trading update

The Group expects to deliver underlying* operating profit from continuing operations for FY2026 of not less than £1.8 million (FY2025: £1.5 million, as restated for discontinued operations), representing growth of at least 20% and performance ahead of market guidance.
Financial position
The Group continues to maintain a robust balance sheet and strong liquidity, with cash balances of £3.3 million as at 30 September 2026 (31 March 2026: £3.9 million).
Cash at the year-end reflected the timing of client receipts, with approximately £1.0 million collected shortly after 30 September 2026, further reinforcing the Group's strong financial position.
Mark Wheeler, Chief Executive Officer of Diales, commented:
"The Group has delivered another year of profitable growth, with underlying operating profit expected to increase by at least 20%, and ahead of market expectations. This continues the positive momentum established over recent years and reflects the successful execution of our strategy, the strength of our client relationships and the dedication of our teams across the Group.
Whilst market conditions have remained challenging in certain territories, particularly across parts of the Middle East and Europe, demand for the Group's specialist dispute resolution and expert services has remained resilient. We continue to invest selectively in talent and capability to support future growth.
The Board remains confident in the Group's strategy, financial strength and long-term prospects, and we look forward to building on this momentum in FY2027."
