Executive summary

  • Interim dividend maintained at 18p, reflecting confidence in strategy and financial position.

  • H1 revenue reached £170.8m, up 3.2% year-over-year, outperforming ERA's 2.7% market growth forecast.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was £26.9m and adjusted EBITA £7.3m, broadly in line with prior year after adjusting for seasonal effects.

  • Net debt (non-IFRS 16) reduced from £55.1m to £37.9m post Power business sale; leverage held at 1x.

  • ROCE at 14.9%, ahead of cost of capital.

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.
