Further significant North American order intake

Hardide (AIM: HDD), the provider of advanced surface treatment technology, is pleased to confirm it has secured a further £1.8m of new orders from the major North American energy sector customer referred to in the announcements of 1 December 2025 and 3 February 2026, which will be delivered mostly over the course of the current financial year.

These orders lead the Board to expect a further material improvement in revenues and performance for the current financial year to 30 September 2026 as against previous expectations.

Hardide is in discussions with this customer regarding establishing a framework arrangement and schedule for the future that will support the customer's own business development ambitions and supply requirements.

Matt Hamblin, CEO of Hardide commented:

"We are delighted to receive these additional new orders. This should enable Hardide to achieve its first strategic milestone of at least doubling financial year 2024 revenues, ahead of target, during the current financial year and enable us to leverage the benefits of much higher capacity utilisation".
