TRADING UPDATE

Robinson plc ("Robinson", the “Company” or the “Group” stock code: RBN), the custom manufacturer of plastic and paperboard packaging based in Chesterfield, issues the following trading update.

The Directors continue to expect that underlying operating profit* for 2026 will be in line with market expectations.

A significant customer contract is scheduled to expire at the end of December 2026 and will now not be renewed. The Group retains a strong and ongoing relationship with the customer and will continue to supply a range of products across its factory network. The contract generated approximately £3.3 million of annual revenue and £1.0 million of annual contribution to gross profit, and in the absence of any offsetting actions would reduce FY2027 revenue and underlying operating profit* by these amounts. The Group is actively pursuing opportunities to mitigate this impact through operational initiatives and new business development. At this stage, excluding the benefit of any such mitigations, the Board now anticipates that FY2027 profitability will be broadly in line with FY2026.
