Titon Holdings Plc
Full Year Trading Update
Notice of Final Results and Investor Presentation
Continued operational improvement; FY25 results in line with the Board's
expectations
Titon Holdings Plc ("Titon" or the "Group") is pleased to provide the
following unaudited trading update on the Group's performance for the year to
30 September 2025 ("FY25").
Highlights
· Group revenue up 2.1% to £15.8m
o Mechanical ventilation systems revenue up 19.4% on the prior year, driven
by strong UK growth of 26.8%
o Window and door hardware revenue down 13.3%, but improvement actions
underway, positioning the business unit for a return to growth in FY26
· Continued improvement in gross profit margins in H2 across both
business units
· Underlying(1) EBITDA(2) and loss before tax for FY25 expected to be
reported in line with the Board's expectations
· Reported FY25 profit before tax will reflect the sale of previously
written down slow-moving stock, which provided a one-off benefit to the year's
results(1).
· Cash of £3.5m at the period end, with no debt; revised factory
property valuation of £5.8m
· The Board is cautiously optimistic for FY26, underpinned by an
improved pipeline
FY25 trading
The Group has delivered a year of growth, operational improvement, gross
margin enhancement and strategic progress. Overall Group revenue increased by
2.1% to £15.8m (FY24: £15.5m). While the business faced higher National
Insurance and minimum wage costs, improvements in gross margin and tight cost
control has resulted in the underlying result for the year achieving
expectations.
The mechanical ventilation systems business continued to perform strongly,
with revenue rising 19.4% to £8.6m (FY24: £7.2m). The strategic focus on the
UK ventilation market proved successful, delivering a 26.8% increase in
revenue, the highest sales in this segment to date.
The window and door hardware business saw revenue decline 13.3% in FY25, to
£7.2m (FY24: £8.3m), due to the previously reported weaker demand conditions
and poor sales execution. During the year, sales operations were reorganised
and strengthened, including the hire of a new Sales Director, and improvements
were made to customer service. These changes, alongside an improved pipeline,
have positioned this business unit for a return to growth in FY26.
Building on the margin improvement initiatives and higher-margin product and
market focus reported in the Group's H1 FY25 results, both business units
delivered meaningful improvements in gross margins compared with the prior
year.
Healthy balance sheet
The Group continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet with no indebtedness
and Group cash at 30 September 2025 was £3.5m. In September, the Group
received a revised valuation of its property assets of £5.8m (2022 valuation:
£5.4m), with a c.15% estimated valuation improvement if the property is
valued in parts. This compares to the accounting carrying value on the Group's
balance sheet of £1.6m.
Chief Executive, Tom Carpenter commented:
"We are pleased with the progress made in our mechanical ventilation systems
business unit over the year. While our window and door hardware business unit
declined, we have a clear plan to return it to growth and are already
implementing the necessary actions.
Throughout the year we have continued to build a more responsive and dynamic
culture across the Group, which will remain a focus going forward.
Looking ahead to FY26, the Board remains cautiously optimistic despite ongoing
market headwinds. We recognise that the wider construction market is unlikely
to offer much support, so our focus is firmly on creating our own success
through market share gains. Our mechanical ventilation business continues to
benefit from product development and efficiency improvements, driving steady
order volumes and margin enhancement, while the remedial actions in window and
door hardware should begin to deliver a return to growth.
We remain vigilant to cost pressures (including labour, materials and energy)
as well as the wider macroeconomic environment, both of which have the
potential to influence demand and margins.
Finally, I would like to thank all our employees on behalf of the Board for
their efforts and support over the last twelve months."
