AVON TECHNOLOGIES PLC

("Avon" or the "Group")

AGM Statement

Avon will be holding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at its Melksham
facility at 10:30am GMT today.

Trading in the first quarter was in line with expectations and the Group
outlook for the full year remains consistent with the guidance given with the
FY24 results in November.

Avon has seen continued order momentum in Q1, as evidenced by recent wins,
which have further strengthened the Group's long term order book, including:

·    an $18m delivery order for the Next Generation Integrated Head
Protection System (NG IHPS) helmet for the U.S. Army;

·    a renewal contract valued up to £10m with Thales UK to support a
critical UK defence programme.

 

The Group continues to make good operational progress on the STAR strategy,
embedding a culture of continuous improvement alongside its focus on footprint
optimisation and operational excellence.

 

The Board remains confident that the Group's strategic initiatives will
support sustained growth and improved returns over the long term and that Avon
remains well positioned to deliver exceptional shareholder value.

A presentation for retail investors will be held after the AGM meeting today
and repeated online at 14.00pm GMT. Registration is available on the following
