2024 Full Year Results

Organic growth well ahead of IP and margin stability in a challenging trading environment

Twelve months to 31 December

Nimesh Patel, Group Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the results said:

"All three of our Businesses delivered organic sales growth with margins in line with our expectations, despite weaker than expected IP in the second half.  I am particularly pleased with progress in ETS, where improvements to manufacturing throughput supported higher sales and improved margin."

"As a new executive team, we developed our Together for Growth Strategy to deliver on our medium-term financial objectives, while also better positioning the Group for the significant long-term growth opportunities ahead of us.  We are also well underway with actions to simplify our organisation and better leverage resources to support future growth. I thank my colleagues for their commitment as we continue to focus on the operational priorities that are within our control and have a meaningful impact on driving growth in a challenging environment." 

"Mindful of the outlook for IP, I remain confident in the execution of our strategy and in the strength of our business model, which together will sustain organic sales growth well ahead of IP and mid-single digit organic profit growth in 2025."
