Building momentum after a busy year

FY23 results make for pleasing reading with group sales slightly (c.2%) ahead of expectations and an EBITDA loss of £3.2m, better than the £3.8m we had been forecasting reflecting good cost control and higher than anticipated grant income funding. Significant progress has been made since IPO at Singapore’s Changi airport, Aurrigo’s lead customer. This has helped build the group’s profile with new customers, resulting in exciting partnerships with UPS, IAG, Stuttgart, Munich, Cincinnati & Schipho

discoverIE’s Q125 trading update confirmed that underlying earnings expectations for FY25 are unchanged. While the Q125 revenue decline reflects the lower bookings environment in previous quarters, book-to-bill was above one and bookings increased organically year-on-year despite ongoing destocking by customers in the industrial market. Robust gross margins and a well-controlled cost base support the company’s 13.5% target operating margin for FY25 and we maintain our forecasts.
