Trading Performance
Group revenue increased by 7.6% to £22.1m (FY25: £20.5m), driven by a stronger second half of the financial year. Revenue in H2 increased by 17.2% compared with the same period in FY25, including £1.1m from the Saxis Group Limited ("Saxis") acquisition which completed in December 2025. On an organic basis, H2 revenue grew by 7.0% year on year.

The Group ended the year with gross cash of £7.7m (FY25: £8.7m) and a net cash2 position of £2.7m (FY25: £3.6m), following the payment of £1.3m in cash consideration relating to the acquisition of Saxis.
Heejae Chae, Executive Chair of SysGroup, says:
"FY26 has been a year of disciplined execution and clear progress for SysGroup. A stronger second half, supported by improved go-to-market effectiveness and continued demand in cybersecurity, has driven full-year performance ahead of expectations.
During the second half, we implemented a number of operational and strategic changes, including the increased use of AI across our go-to-market and service delivery activities. The early benefits of these changes began to come through in Q4 and provide a stronger platform for the business as we enter the new financial year.
With improved profitability, a robust cash position, and enhanced capabilities following the Saxis acquisition, we have entered FY27 with positive momentum. This update marks an important milestone ahead of our full year results in July, where we will provide further detail on performance and outlook."
