Senior plc: FY25 Post-Close Trading Update

Results ahead of expectations, continued good strategic progress

Senior plc ("Senior" or the "Group"), an international manufacturer of high
technology components and systems, today issues this trading update for the
year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Period") for the Group's continuing
operations.

Strong performance ahead of expectations

Following the November trading update we have seen stronger than expected
trading, notably in Aerospace, such that we now expect full year adjusted
profit before tax((1)) to be comfortably above previous expectations.

Since the trading update, we have taken action and reduced our cost base in
certain Flexonics operations.  The related restructuring costs are treated as
adjusting items and will be announced at our full year results.

As a result, the Board anticipates full year 2025 Group performance to be
comfortably above previous expectations.  While it is still early in the
year, trading in January 2026 has started well.

Strengthened balance sheet

The initial cash proceeds from the sale of the Aerostructures business along
with strong cash generation has supported deleveraging, with net debt
anticipated to be below £80m (pre- IFRS 16) at the end of FY25 (FY24:
£153m).  FY25 leverage is expected to be below 1.0x net debt to EBITDA (pre-
IFRS 16) down from 1.8x at the end of 2024.

In addition, the Group completed a Buy-In transaction on its UK defined
benefit pension scheme in FY25 which has de-risked the balance sheet.

The Group will publish its full year results for the year ended 31 December on
2 March 2026.

Notes

((1))  We measure Group performance on an adjusted basis, which excludes
items that do not directly reflect the underlying trading performance in the
period.

The Group's principal foreign exchange translation exposure is to the US
Dollar.  The average US Dollar to Pound Sterling exchange rate for the
full-year 2025 was $1.31.

All FY25 figures are subject to audit.
