CFO comment
The Group is reporting Revenues of £41.5m (FY23: £44.2m) and an Adjusted PBT* of £3.7m (FY23: £7.5m), reflecting the trend of extended buying cycles which developed in H2 against an exceptional FY23 comparative. Despite reporting lower than expected results, the Group has made clear operational progress – getting Vicon markerless ready for launch and establishing our new growth area, smart manufacturing.
Post period end, we welcomed the Sempre Group and announced a return of up to £6m of cash to shareholders through the means of a share buyback programme. With a continued focus on cost and efficiency, actively reallocating resources to high-impact areas, we are well positioned to capitalise on the growth opportunities, setting the business up for success in 2025 and beyond.
*Profit Before Tax adjusted for share-based payments, acquisition costs and amortisation of intangibles arising on acquisition.
