Trading Update
Significant year-on-year growth driven by record order intake
Concurrent Technologies Plc (AIM: CNC), a designer and manufacturer of leading-edge computer products, systems, and mission-critical solutions used in high-performance markets by some of the world's major OEMs, provides an update on trading for the year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY25").
Based on its unaudited management accounts, the Company expects both revenue and profit before tax to be in line with market expectations, delivering strong double-digit growth on FY24 (FY24: revenue £40.3m and profit before tax £5.2m).1 This reflects the growing momentum across the Group's Products and Systems business units, notwithstanding delays to US Department of Defense budget approvals and the recent US government shutdown.
Total order intake for FY25 was at a record level of approximately £47 million (FY24: £41 million), driven by particularly strong demand from customers in Europe and Asia-Pacific, reflecting the continued strengthening of Concurrent's reputation among leading global primes. The Group ended FY25 in a solid financial position with £14.4m of cash at bank (FY24: £13.7m), with elevated year-end debtors reflecting seasonally high invoicing.
In September, the Company announced a $5.2 million design services contract with a major defence prime contractor. A subsequent $1.0 million contract expansion has increased the total value to $6.2 million, making it Concurrent's largest single order to date. The expanded scope includes the design and supply of Automatic Test Equipment to support the customer's in-house production and testing, highlighting the early commercial success and growth potential of Concurrent's design services offering.
Outlook
The Company has entered the new financial year with good momentum, underpinned by robust customer demand, record order intake and a growing pipeline of design wins expected to convert into production revenues. This progress is supported by a solid balance sheet, providing the financial flexibility to continue investing as the Group delivers on its growth strategy in the year ahead, with strategic plans in place to manage component costs through the year as necessary.
Miles Adcock, CEO, commented: "FY25 was another strong year for Concurrent, in which we continued to execute on our stated strategy, as planned. With our new Los Angeles facilities now fully operational and the Colchester relocation expected to complete in H1 FY26, we believe the business is entering a new phase of operational capacity. We will see prior design wins begin translating into meaningful orders, while strengthening and diversifying our portfolio of products and services to support long-term growth. I am extremely proud of what our team has achieved and am excited by the scale of opportunity ahead."
1 As at 19 January 2026, The Board understands that market expectations for FY2025, based on published analyst forecasts, are for revenue of £46.0m, and profit before tax of £6.2m.
