Executive summary

  • Delivered resilient H1 2025 performance amid challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, with record system sales and strong cash generation supporting EPS, dividend growth, and deleveraging.

  • Integration of recent acquisitions and group-wide technology initiatives are progressing on time and budget, strengthening the business for future growth.

  • International diversification, especially strong Filta International results, offset regional market softness.

  • Share repurchase program resumed to mitigate share option dilution and enhance shareholder returns.

  • Interim dividend increased by 5% to 1.15p per share, reflecting confidence in ongoing performance and cash flow.

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.
