life sciences, entertainment, engineering and smart manufacturing markets,
today provides the following update on trading for the financial year ended 30
September 2025.
The Group expects to report Adjusted EBIT* in line with market expectations
for the financial year.

noted at the Interim Results, Vicon delivered a resilient performance with
improved activity in other geographies and end-markets. In smart
manufacturing, both IVS and Sempre performance was strong, with healthy
organic and inorganic growth driven by improved management and product
delivery execution. As a result, overall Group revenue is expected to be
broadly in line with market expectations*.
The Group finished the year with a cash balance of £37.0 million after
acquisition consideration of £5.4 million, £4.2 million on dividend payment
and £8.3 million spent on share buybacks.
Further details will be provided when Oxford Metrics announces its Preliminary
Results for the financial year ended 30 September 2025, which is expected in
early December 2025.

strategic progress for Oxford Metrics. Continued innovation, including the
launch of new products, further strengthens our position across diversified,
high-value niches and aligned to market trends. With a healthy balance sheet
and a clear strategic direction, we enter the new financial year well placed
to pursue the exciting growth opportunities ahead."
