Trading Update
TT Electronics plc ("TT" or the "Group"), a global engineer and manufacturer of electronic solutions for critical applications, publishes its regular November trading update for the four-month period ended 25 October 2025 (the "period").
Trading in the period has been broadly flat compared to H1 2025. Group revenue* in the 4 month period from 1 July to 25 October 2025 was £150.4 million, with all regions performing broadly in line with the TT Board's expectations. Net debt (excluding lease liabilities)* as at 25 October 2025 was £77 million (30 June 2025: £73 million).
The TT Board reconfirms its previous guidance for full year 2025, which was for adjusted operating profit expected to be in line with the then consensus of £33.7 million **. The TT Board acknowledges that achieving this outcome for 2025 requires a significant step up in November and December performance, with c.£12 million of adjusted operating profit to be delivered in these last two months of the year. This includes approximately £2 million of profit arising from non-repeat last time buys as a consequence of the announcement of the closure of our Plano site. Whilst orders received are consistent with delivering this step up, achieving this outcome will rely on there being no change to currently anticipated order delivery timelines.
Trading continues to be strong in the Group's European businesses, however the Group has yet to see any evidence of a market recovery in EMS or Components. This is reflected in the Group's current order book, which in total is broadly similar to this stage last year, with EMS lower than normal due to the continuing macro-economic and tariff uncertainties impacting the purchasing behaviour of our major EMS customers.
In view of the ongoing market uncertainties and challenging trading environment, the TT Board believes it is difficult to predict how TT will perform in 2026. However, if market activity remains at current levels, underlying trading in 2026 is expected to be broadly in line with 2025, except there will be no repeat of the last time buys at Plano which, as explained above, are expected to benefit 2025 by approximately £2 million.
The TT Board is budgeting and making operational decisions on the basis that this is the most likely scenario. As part of this, the Board is undertaking an analysis of further cost actions.
* Unaudited
** At time of previous guidance, analyst consensus range for 2025 adjusted operating profit was £31.6m to £35.6m
