9 December 2025 - Oxford Metrics plc (LSE: OMG), the smart sensing and software company servicing life sciences, entertainment, engineering and smart manufacturing markets, announces its audited preliminary results for the financial year ended 30 September 2025.

The preliminary results reflect a return to growth, an in-line earnings performance and strategic progress positioning the business for sustainable long-term growth.

Commenting on the results, Imogen O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer said, “This was a year of solid execution and strategic progress, with performance in-line with market expectations. We delivered on our commitments, scaling Smart Manufacturing with two targeted acquisitions and achieving strong organic growth in that division, driven by tighter operational focus. Motion Capture revenue was lower, reflecting continued softness in the US and a normalised opening order book. However, planned strategic resource reallocation helped deliver a 21% rise in in-year order intake, partially offsetting the impact and supporting future growth.

While external conditions remain challenging, we are focused on what we can influence: where we deploy our efforts, how the organisation operates and how we drive innovation, including the launch of Markerless Motion Capture, which together are strengthening our platform for sustainable long-term growth.”

Financial highlights

• Adjusted EBIT increased in line with market expectations as a result of higher Smart Manufacturing inorganic and organic volumes, continued high margin contribution from Motion Capture and improved cost discipline.
• In-year Motion Capture order intake up 21% to £34.8m (FY24: £28.8m), demonstrating positive underlying demand. Motion Capture revenue was £32.0m (FY24: £38.6m), reflecting continued US academic and entertainment headwinds and post-COVID normalisation of opening order book to £1.0m (FY24: £11.5m).

• Smart Manufacturing revenue up 341% to £12.8m (FY24: £2.9m), including 38% organic growth and contributions from two acquisitions.

• Operating cash generation before tax up to £6.7m (FY24: £0.3m), following continued focus on inventory optimisation and stronger working capital management.

• Reduction in PBT mainly reflecting lower net finance income following increased shareholder returns and investment.

• £12.5m returned to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, reflecting confidence in the Group’s cash generation and balance sheet strength.

Strategic Highlights

• Strengthened Smart Manufacturing division with two acquisitions (The Sempre Group and Amber Optix) to turn projects into products faster, improve margin potential and expand the addressable market.
• Launch of Markerless Motion Capture, complementing the core marker-based systems, positioning the Group for next-generation growth and expanding ARR opportunities.
• Ongoing product innovation and AI leadership, with a focus on proprietary models and datasets that power next-generation Markerless Motion Capture and automated inspection solutions.
• New divisional heads appointed (one post-period) as part of the Group’s broader programme to enhance operational focus and commercial delivery.

Current Trading & Outlook

• Q1 trading to date in line with the Board’s expectations.
• Refocusing Motion Capture resources on geographies with clearer momentum supported by a targeted product delivery roadmap.
• Unifying the Smart Manufacturing businesses under one structure to enhance order-to-revenue conversion, increase efficiency and build a scalable projects-to-products strategy to support margin expansion.
• Strong balance sheet supports strategic organic investment and selective small bolt on M&A.
• Refined strategy and three-year framework, reflecting the evolution of the Group and informed by new Board and divisional leadership, to be set out in H1 FY26.
