CFO comment
The Group is reporting revenue of £20.1m (H1 FY24: 23.5m) and adjusted EBIT* of (£0.4m) (H1 FY24: £3.0m), which is in line with management expectations and reflects a particularly strong comparative year due to our unusually large FY24 order book and the final stage delivery of our largest order in company history. As customer buying returned to normal in H2 FY24 this trend was not expected to continue. Cash generation from operating activities improved to £2.8m (H1FY24: £2.2m), reflecting strong and improved working capital management.
The Group made clear strategic progress in the first half. Vicon Markerless motion capture launched successfully with commercialisation progressing well and modest revenues expected in FY25. We strengthened our smart manufacturing division with the acquisition of Sempre, and appointed a dedicated smart manufacturing managing director, to drive our growth initiatives. We continue to have a strong balance sheet with net cash position of £39.9m (H1 FY24: £54.8m), providing substantial resources for further targeted M&A and we remain debt-free.
*Adjusted (Loss)/Earnings before Interest and Tax, adjusted for share-based payments, amortisation of intangibles arising on acquisition and exceptional costs.
