The company posted revenues of £66.2 million, a 0.5% increase from FY24
LONDON: SDI Group plc (LSE: SDI), a specialist manufacturer and acquirer of scientific and industrial technology firms, on Wednesday reported resilient final results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, citing continued strategic execution amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
The company posted revenues of £66.2 million, a 0.5% increase from FY24, bolstered by full-year contributions from Peak Sensors and recent acquisitions of InspecVision Limited and Collins Walker Limited. Gross margins rose to 64.9%, while adjusted operating profit reached £10.0 million, up from £9.6 million a year earlier.
CEO Stephen Brown said SDI remains focused on both organic and inorganic growth, adding that its buy-and-build model has driven compounded growth since 2015. “We are well-positioned to deliver sustainable value through product innovation and disciplined acquisitions,” Brown said.
SDI reported strong cash generation, enabling £7.3 million in acquisition-related spending during the period. The Group’s net debt stood at £13.8 million, slightly higher than FY24, but supported by increased operational cash flow.
Looking ahead, SDI enters FY26 with a robust order book and confirmed the acquisition of Severn Thermal Solutions in June for £4.75 million. The Group expects performance to align with current market forecasts.
