Senior plc: Q1 Trading Update
Senior plc ("Senior" or the "Group"), an international manufacturer of high
technology components and systems, today issues this trading update for the
first quarter ended March 2026 (the "Period").
Good start to 2026, full year performance anticipated to be above the Board's
previous expectations
• Strong performance in Aerospace, sustaining the good momentum from 2025
• Flexonics performed ahead of expectations, helped by better than expected
demand in land vehicles
• Full year 2026 trading performance expected to be comfortably better than the
Board's previous expectations
Trading Update and Outlook
Good trading performance in the first quarter of 2026.
Group revenue increased by 2.5% compared to prior year on a constant currency
basis.
• Aerospace revenue increased by 9.7% driven by good growth across civil
aerospace, including large commercial, regional and business jets, as well as
strong defence demand.
• Flexonics revenue decreased by 6.2% mainly due, as anticipated, to lower
petrochemical sales compared to the prior year, which benefitted from the
large India CATOFIN project. Overall, Flexonics trading is better than
previously expected due to higher than anticipated demand for land vehicle
products.
Whilst we remain mindful of current geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions,
based on the strong Aerospace performance and better than expected trading in
Flexonics the Board now expects full year 2026 trading performance to be
comfortably ahead of its previous expectations.
Half year results
Senior will present its interim results announcement for the half year ending
30 June 2026 on Monday 3 August 2026.
Notes
The Group's principal foreign exchange translation exposure is to the US
Dollar. Our current assumption is that the average US Dollar to Pound
Sterling exchange rate for the full year 2026 is $1.35.
