AB Dynamics plc

FY 2025 trading update and Capital Markets Day

 

AB Dynamics plc ("AB Dynamics", the "Company" or the "Group"), the designer,
manufacturer and supplier of advanced testing, simulation and measurement
products to the global transport market, issues the following trading update,
to coincide with the Company's Capital Markets Day taking place later today.

 

Current trading

 

Trading in the third quarter to 31 May 2025 was consistent with the trends
noted in the Group's first half results, and the Board is pleased to report
that performance over the first nine months of FY 2025 has remained in line
with its expectations. The Group has a solid order book, providing visibility
into the final quarter of the year.

 

Financial position

 

The balance sheet remains robust with net cash at 31 May 2025 of £31.2m (31
August 2024: £28.6m).

 

The Group's strong cash position and ongoing cash generation leave it well
positioned to continue to invest in organic growth opportunities and further
value enhancing acquisitions, which are key enablers to delivering the growth
ambitions outlined in our value creation plan in November 2024.

 

Outlook

 

Whilst being mindful of a potential slowdown in timing of pipeline conversion
due to the wider macroeconomic disruption and potential foreign exchange
headwinds, the Board remains confident that the Group will make further
financial and strategic progress this year. With good trading momentum
entering the final quarter, and improving margins, the Board continues to
expect to deliver adjusted operating profit for FY 2025 in line with market
expectations(1).

 

Capital Markets Day

 

The Group is today hosting a Capital Markets Day for institutional investors
and analysts at its facility in Bradford on Avon. AB Dynamics' CEO, Dr James
Routh, and CFO, Sarah Matthews-DeMers, together with other senior members of
the executive leadership team will provide an outline of the Group's markets,
customers and products, with a focus on the Group's value creation plan and
the organic growth drivers for each of its three divisions. A copy of the
presentation will be made available from 14:00 today on the Company's website
at www.abdplc.com (http://www.abdplc.com) , with a recording of today's
presentation available shortly after the event.

 

No further current trading information will be provided at the Capital Markets
Day.

 

(1)Company compiled analyst consensus for the year ending 31 August 2025 is
for adjusted operating profit of £22.3m with a range of £22.0m to £22.9m.
