Executive summary

  • FY 2025 saw a challenging first half and a stronger second half, with results in line with board expectations and strategic progress in both Cyber and Escode businesses.

  • Two strategic reviews are ongoing: one for Escode and one for the cybersecurity business, with the latter independent of the Escode review.

  • The group is debt free, with a higher mix of recurring revenues and a flexible balance sheet.

  • The group operates globally, serving enterprise and SME clients across all sectors, focusing on operational resilience and compliance.

Financial highlights

  • Group revenue declined by 7.2% year-over-year to £305.4 million; Escode grew and Cyber improved in H2.

  • Gross margin improved by 1.1 percentage points to 44.5%, though absolute gross margin cash declined by £3.1 million due to lower revenue.

  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 12.1% to £43.7 million, mitigated by £1.6 million in-year cost savings and £4 million annualized savings from operational efficiencies.

  • Operating profit increased by £41.8 million year-over-year to £22.8 million, mainly due to a £40.9 million reduction in Individually Significant Items (ISI) charges.

  • Net cash position at year-end was £13.1 million, a significant improvement from net debt of £52.4 million three years ago.

Outlook and guidance

  • Confident in medium-term growth prospects for both businesses; Cyber expected to return to revenue growth in FY 2026, Escode to deliver low single-digit growth.

  • Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-core disposals, expected to be in line with board expectations.

  • Dividend maintained for FY 2025; initial share buyback of up to 10% of share capital to commence after Escode review concludes.

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.
