Q3 order intake was £55.3m. This is 2% higher than the preceding quarter and 18% higher than the comparative period in constant currency. Progress versus the comparative period was strongest within the Industrial Technology and Healthcare sectors due to slower customer destocking.
Q3 revenue was £57.6m. This is 3% higher than the preceding quarter and in line with the comparative period in constant currency. Growth versus the preceding quarter was driven by the Industrial Technology and Healthcare sectors, with increasing order intake translating into increasing revenue.
The order book at the end of the quarter was £119.4m.
Quarterly operating profit increased materially from Q2 to Q3 2025, as revenue growth and efficiency actions delivered the expected benefits. We expect this to be sustained in Q4, leading to full year profit in line with current market expectations*.

Outlook
Our full year outlook is in line with current market expectations. We have seen a material step up in profitability in Q3, compared to H1 or Q2 2025, and we expect this to be sustained through the year-end. These run rates provide increasing confidence going into 2026 in what we expect to remain cautious end-markets.
