Trading Update

 

 

Science Group, the international Professional Services and Systems company
delivering innovation through the application of science, technology and
engineering, provides a trading update for the 9 months ended 30 September
2025.

 

Science Group released its Interim Results on 28 July 2025 reporting another
period of record Adjusted Operating Profit ("AOP"), despite the unpredictable
market environment. In addition, the Group realised a substantial exceptional
pre-tax gain (£24.0 million) and associated cash inflow resulting from the H1
strategic investment.

 

While business confidence remains subdued in some sectors, in aggregate
Science Group has continued to perform as anticipated. In particular, the
recovery in R&D services, driven by the Medical sector, is progressing as
expected.

 

At 30 September 2025, the Group had gross cash of £77.6 million and net funds
of £66.0 million, after payment of the dividend in July (£3.6 million) and
the first instalment (£2.5 million) of tax due on the H1 strategic investment
gain. In addition, in the year to date, the Company has returned £4.4 million
to shareholders through its share buy-back programme.

 

In summary, despite the volatile market conditions, Science Group remains on
track to deliver another strong performance for the year ending 31 December
2025 with AOP in line or slightly ahead of the Board's expectations.
