Significant new order in North America

Further to the Group's announcement on 1 December 2025, Hardide plc (AIM: HDD), the provider of advanced surface coating technology, is pleased to announce it has received an additional follow-on order worth $1.0 million from the same customer.

This order is expected for delivery in the second half of Hardide's financial year ending 30 September 2026 ("FY26"). Accordingly, the Company now anticipates financial performance for FY26 to be ahead of previous expectations.

During the course of FY26, the Group intends to begin a programme to upgrade infrastructure at its Martinsville plant to improve operational efficiency and support the Group in meeting the significant uplift in demand in the North American region. The investment is expected to be funded by proceeds of this new order and the Group's existing resources.

Matt Hamblin, Chief Executive commented:

"We are delighted to have secured this significant new sales order, which further evidences the strength of the relationship we are developing with our new North American customer. Discussions are ongoing as to how Hardide can support the customer's business development ambitions later this year and thereafter."
