Executive summary

  • Revenue grew 5.2% year-over-year to £80.9m, with organic constant currency growth of 7.2%, driven by Content Creation, while Audio Reproduction normalized after post-pandemic surges.

  • Gross margin declined by 1.9 percentage points to 43.9%, impacted by product mix, higher freight costs, and one-off costs.

  • Adjusted EBITDA fell 14% to £10.4m, and EPS decreased, reflecting lower gross margin and increased costs.

  • Net debt reduced significantly year-over-year to £17.9m, with interim dividend maintained at 2.1p.

  • Inventory levels normalized in EMEA and APAC; US inventory increased temporarily to mitigate tariff risks.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue: £80.9m (up 5.2% year-over-year); organic constant currency growth 7.2%.

  • Gross margin: 43.9% (down 1.9pp year-over-year); adjusted EBITDA: £10.4m (margin 12.9%).

  • Net debt: £17.9m, improved from £27.3m in HY24.

Outlook and guidance

  • Expecting low single-digit revenue growth for the full year, with slight H2 weighting due to seasonality and new product launches.

  • Gross margin improvement anticipated in H2 outside the US, driven by lower freight costs and non-repeat of one-off rework costs.

  • Cash flow expected to turn positive in H2, reducing net debt as working capital unwinds.

  • Profit expectations for the year remain unchanged, but US tariff volatility and macroeconomic risks remain key uncertainties.

  • Actions to mitigate US tariff risks include inventory build, price increases, and manufacturing relocation.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
