Current Trading and Outlook
Commenting on the results and outlook, Hugh Whitcomb, Co-Founder and CEO of Amcomri, commented:
“We are pleased with the Group’s performance in H1 26. The Group continued to deliver strong results from its existing operations in the period despite the challenges and impact of wider global events, particularly in the energy sector. Against this background, the Group benefits from its distributed, balanced industrial and infrastructure end market exposure that supports a resilient, positive performance.
We have continued to successfully and systematically implement our ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ model with the acquisition of Enerveo’s National Compliance division from SSE plc, and also more recently, NTS. Both provide significant additional specialist service capability and potential to our growing Embedded Engineering operations. In addition, we successfully completed the sale of Premier Limpet to Dalpo, demonstrating and validating the full value creation cycle of our ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ model for the first time.
Despite ongoing geopolitical concerns in the energy sector, the Group has significant opportunities arising from recent acquisitions and a strong pipeline of aligned acquisitions, combined with further strategic, organic growth opportunities within our existing operating companies.”

Notes to Editors:
Amcomri is a ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ group focusing on acquiring and enhancing specialist engineering services and industrial manufacturing businesses in the UK and Ireland. Through its focused and autonomous operating companies, the Group provides niche technical services and products to a diverse range of established industrial markets with particular emphasis on the major infrastructure, transportation and energy sectors.
The Group currently operates through the following two divisions:
By design, the Group’s activities are distributed across a range of established and proven sectors and markets, and the Group seeks to avoid excessive concentration risk through this approach. Amcomri’s structured ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ strategy has a track record of value enhancing industrial acquisitions and aims to leverage the Group's acquisition experience, particularly in owner manager 'retirement' situations, where there are often no, or limited, alternative plans for succession in the business.
The Group currently comprises 15 operating companies across its two divisions. Post acquisition, the Amcomri team has a strong focus on facilitating and supporting its operating companies with organic growth initiatives, and the Group's businesses continue to be well placed to take advantage of generally positive and resilient conditions in their respective niche end markets.
Chief Executive Officer's Statement
H1 26 Review
I am pleased to report a positive first half financial performance for the Group, delivering double digit revenue and solid earnings growth over the comparable H1 25 period.
Group revenue increased in the period by 33% to £42.4 million (H1 2025: £31.8 million), with revenue from continuing operations increasing to £36.2 million (H1 25: £25.9 million), up 40%. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 7% to £4.7 million (H1 2025: £4.3 million), with adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increasing to £3.7 million (H1 25: £3.6 million), up 2%. This was driven by continued demand for the Group's services and products across core markets, across both the Embedded Engineering and B2B Manufacturing divisions.
The Group's diversified end markets provide an inherent robustness to the model, enabling us to effectively manage more recent challenges in some of these markets caused by high loadings on critical equipment and facilities temporarily restricting release for maintenance or overhaul. These specific short-term issues are being offset by significant positive opportunities in other markets including aerospace, subsea, defence and rail electrical infrastructure, where we are seeing rising activity and forward demand generating continued, profitable growth overall.
Embedded Engineering
Our Embedded Engineering division provides specialist technical services and support to operators of often operationally critical and complex power, petrochemical and process customers. We continue to see good overall underlying demand for our services driven by regulatory, maintenance, life extension and performance upgrades of often ageing, capital intensive facilities. H1 26 revenue for the Embedded Engineering division was £24.4 million (H1 2025: £14.5 million), an increase of 68%.
In WJ Project Services, despite the ongoing challenges associated with the delays in CP7 rail investment roll out, we have made solid progress pursuing new specialist electrical engineering opportunities both in core rail HV electrical and the wider HV electrical market. WJ Project Services has also commenced work on initial, potential electrical infrastructure synergy projects with the recently acquired GridCore team, as they target ‘private network’ clients in line with our wider strategy in the sector.
The lower Group gross margin was attributable to the significant project undertaken in the renewables sector by EMC. This was the largest, single project the Group has undertaken to date and provides a runway into a rapidly developing end market sector for the Group. The size and scale of the works on this project had a short-term impact on the overall Group margin in the period, resulting in a temporary lower overall blended margin for the Group in H1 26 compared with H1 25. Excluding EMC, the Group achieved an overall gross margin of 38% in H1 26 (on a continuing and discontinued basis) and 40% (on a continuing basis), in line with H1 25. Following the project, EMC has successfully won and commenced a number of new smaller, higher margin projects in power generation, port terminal facilities and electrical infrastructure, supported by a strong and growing pipeline in these sectors.
In certain sectors, particularly rail electronics and valve services associated with power generation, we have seen some customers temporarily delaying planned shutdowns or equipment release due to lack of operational capacity. This has in some cases resulted in committed work or orders being re-phased. We have successfully accommodated these programme changes in H1 26 and are confident this delayed work will be progressively rescheduled back in during H2 26 and H1 27, given the often-mandatory component of our services. Outside of these specific customers, we continue to see a strong consistent demand and no significant evidence of schedule or order re-phasing in our Blundell, eTrac or Electronix businesses.
Specialist B2B Manufacturing
As previously announced, Premier Limpet was sold on 30 June 2026 for a minimum initial consideration of £10.1 million, demonstrating our ability to create shareholder value from individual assets. More information is provided on this transaction below. The remainder of our B2B Manufacturing division has a well distributed, relatively stable end market base covering civil and military aviation components, subsea, defence, power and process sectors and specialist printing for B2B industrial applications. H1 26 revenue for the B2B Manufacturing division was £18.0 million (H1 25: £17.3 million), an increase of 4%.
Our precision engineering businesses, Drurys and Claro have performed well in H1 26, assisted by previous capacity investment made by the Group and further supported by very strong demand from their key end markets of defence, marine and civilian aerospace. Both are expected to continue to perform well into H2 26 and the Group continues to support further capacity and improvement projects in these businesses, to meet market demand where appropriate.
Our specialist printing business, Bex, has made solid incremental progress, recording its highest ever sales month in March 2026, with a continued positive outlook for H2 26 through the ongoing implementation of its commercial development plan.
The strong performance in Drurys, Claro and Bex has offset the performance shortfall in JA Harrison, our gaskets and seals business, caused by continuing end market issues that are being actively managed by the JA Harrison team.
Corporate Transactions
Acquisitions
The Group's target acquisition market, focused on UK and Ireland based specialist industrial SME businesses, remains strong. The strength of our pipeline is driven by both end market activity in the lower mid-market M&A sector, continued direct marketing efforts and an increased awareness of our interest and success in the sector, derived from our public market profile since admission to AIM in December 2024. In addition, we are seeing an increasing desire amongst long term owner managers to hand over the legacy of their businesses to proven industrially focused organisations such as Amcomri.
As announced on 1 June 2026, a newly established subsidiary of Amcomri, GridCore Electrical Services Limited, acquired the business and assets of the National Compliance and Testing division from SSE plc. This acquisition provides Amcomri with an established, UK wide specialist electrical test and compliance operation at a discounted entry point, opening a further significant opportunity for expansion into the 'private network' electrical-infrastructure market, a key strategic target sector for the Group.
Immediately post period end in July, the Group acquired North West Transport Supplies Limited (“NTS”), specialising in the repair and overhaul of often high integrity, safety critical electro-mechanical units, HVAC and pneumatic control equipment found on rail rolling stock fleets.
Having now completed 20 acquisitions to date, the Amcomri team has, and continues to build, significant experience in sourcing transactions across its target industries, and will continue to roll out its successful acquisition strategy in 2026 and beyond.
Disposal of Premier Limpet
On 30 June 2026, the Group completed the sale of Premier Limpet, the UK's largest independent manufacturer of printed and plain adhesive tape, to Dalpo Group UK Limited, for a minimum initial consideration of £10.1 million (£7 million net cash proceeds before any additional consideration), representing a multiple on invested capital of approximately 28x. Additional consideration, calculated as to 0.9x the value of any trading EBITDA exceeding £1.4 million for the year ending 31 December 2026 for Premier Limpet, will also be payable to Amcomri.
The progressive implementation of the 'Improve & Build' elements of Amcomri's model following acquisition of Premier Limpet in 2021 resulted in significant and sustained improvements in both the underlying gross margins and profitability of Premier Limpet. The disposal was the first demonstration of the Group’s capability to work through the ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ cycle to an end point where the model has been proven and significant shareholder value has been crystallised.
The disposal has provided the Group with additional cash resources, to be utilised alongside existing financing facilities, to fund further acquisitions through its proven ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ model, that targets high-quality specialist engineering and industrial businesses with inherent latent improvement potential.
Outlook
Against evolving end market conditions, we believe our results, including the sale of Premier Limpet which demonstrated the full value creation cycle of our ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ model, reinforce the strategic benefits of our in depth understanding of industrial markets and limited concentration. The Group has maintained resilience despite short term sector-specific challenges particularly in the rail rolling stock, power and energy sectors where operators continue to run critical assets at temporarily high loadings that result in maintenance shutdown or equipment release rescheduling/delays.
The recent acquisitions of National Compliance and NTS further extend our technical services proposition within the Embedded Engineering division, particularly in UK rail and electrical infrastructure end markets where demand for high value asset life extension and upgrades is growing. We continue to evaluate a strong, prospective acquisition pipeline of specialist UK and Ireland based industrial SME businesses that align with our model.
The Group continues to trade in line with market expectations, supported by recent acquisitions, diversified and robust end markets and a strong pipeline of commercial and operational development projects in our existing operating companies, that we expect will further support synergistic organic earnings for the Group in the medium term. Furthermore, we remain confident that the short-term issues evident with high plant and equipment loadings in some Embedded Engineering customers will normalise into 2027.
Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to again thank all of our colleagues across the Group for their enthusiasm and commitment. With this critical support and dedication from our team, we remain confident that we can continue to successfully scale and deploy our ‘Buy-Improve-Build’ model substantially beyond the initial results we have delivered since IPO in December 2024.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information
For the six months ended 30 June 2026
Amcomri Group plc is the ultimate parent company of the “Buy, Improve, Build” UK focused specialist engineering services and industrial manufacturing group of companies. Amcomri Group plc is incorporated and domiciled in the UK and its registered office 16/18 Beak Street, London, W1F 9RD. These interim financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors on 13th April 2026 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain and emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The Interim Financial information is for the six months ended 30 June 2026, and is presented in GBP, which is the functional currency of the ultimate parent company. The Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, management undertakes regular cash flow forecasting and covenant compliance monitoring to ensure the Group is able to meet its obligations as they fall due.
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the UK Endorsement Board. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted IAS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Interim Financial Statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2026.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries (“the Group”) as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired during the six month period are recognised from the effective date of acquisition. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
The Interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
There are no accounting pronouncements which have become effective from 1 January 2026 that have a significant impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The judgements, estimates, and assumptions applied in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The only exceptions relate to provisions for acquired onerous contracts (see note 17) and estimation of income tax liabilities, which is determined using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to taxable profit for the interim period. Taxable profit is derived from pre-tax accounting profit adjusted for items subject to differing tax treatment, including depreciation, amortisation and lease-related adjustments.
The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue for the first six months of the year from continuing operations:

The Group presents alternative performance measures for both continuing operations and total operations. Total operations includes both continuing and discontinued operations.
The measure relating to continuing operations provides management and users of the financial statements with a view of the performance of the Group's ongoing businesses and current operating platform. It enables period-on-period comparisons of the activities that will continue to contribute to the Group's future financial results and supports an assessment of the underlying performance of the existing business.
The measure relating to total operations, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations, provides a view of the performance of the Group as it existed during the relevant reporting period. This measure reflects the financial contribution of all businesses that formed part of the Group during the period and assists users in understanding the overall results generated by the Group's operations before the impact of portfolio changes and disposals.
The Group’s adjusted EBITDA from total operations (continuing and discontinued operations) and is calculated after the following add backs:

Overview
On 27 March 2026 the Group announced that GridCore Electrical Services Limited ("GridCore"), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcomri Group plc, had entered into a Business Purchase Agreement to acquire the business and assets of the National Compliance and Testing division ("NC&T") of the Infrastructure Solutions business of Enerveo Limited, a subsidiary of SSE plc.
The acquisition completed on 31 May 2026, following satisfaction of customary conditions, including novation of customer contracts and completion of the TUPE transfer of employees, and has been accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, with GridCore identified as the acquirer.
NC&T provides specialist electrical testing and compliance services on a UK-wide basis to an established, long-standing customer base, with a significant recurring-revenue element.

Gain on bargain purchase |
|
(846) |
On the basis of the net consideration of £1,364,000 against provisionally estimated net liabilities acquired of approximately £518,000, the transaction is expected to give rise to a gain on bargain purchase, recognised immediately in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 3.34–36, rather than goodwill.
The Group recognised a provision for onerous contract liabilities acquired as part of the business combination at their acquisition-date fair value, determined using the present value of the expected future cash outflows required to settle the obligations. The liabilities will be subsequently unwound over the remaining term of the underlying contracts.
The Group’s capital management objectives are:
- To ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and
- To provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services in a way that reflects the level of risk involved in providing those goods and services.
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments including credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. The Group’s risk management is coordinated by its managing directors. The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below:
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as any outstanding receivables. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance of these receivables. The amount of exposure to any individual counterparty is subject to a limit, which is assessed by the Board. Total provision for bad debts included within trade receivables is £1,000 (2025: £3,000).
The net carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value. The maximum exposure to customer credit risk at the reporting date is the currency value of trade receivables noted above.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group seeks to transact the majority of its business in its reporting currency (GBP). However, some customers and suppliers are outside the UK and a proportion of these transact with the company in EUR and USD. For this reason, the Group operates current bank accounts in EUR and USD. To the maximum extent possible receipts and payments in a particular currency are made through the bank account in that currency to reduce the amount of funds translated to or from the reporting currency.
Cash flow projections are used to plan for those occasions when funds will need to be translated into different currencies so that exchange rate risk is minimised. If the exchange rate between sterling and the euro had been 10% higher/lower at the reporting date, the effect on profit would have been approximately £25,528/ (£25,528) respectively (December 2025: £12,043/ (£12,043)). The exposure relating to USD is not determined to be material based on the volume of activity and the value of cash held.
The Group’s financial instruments are classified as follows:

On 8th July, the Group completed the acquisition of North West Transport Supplies Limited ("NTS") on a cash-free/debt-free basis. NTS is a specialist provider of repair and overhaul services for electro-mechanical units, HVAC and pneumatic control equipment used in the UK rail industry.
The initial cash consideration of £3.0m was paid on completion of the Acquisition, with a subsequent adjustment of £1.4m deferred based on working capital and business performance.
As the acquisition was completed after the reporting date, it has not been reflected in the Group's condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026. The acquisition will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations in the Group's financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2026. At the date of approval of these interim financial statements, the initial accounting for the business combination, including the determination of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting goodwill, had not yet been completed.
