Year End Trading Update
LPA Group plc, the innovation-led engineering company that designs and manufactures electronic and electro‑mechanical components and systems, is pleased to announce a trading update for the financial year ended 30 September 2026 (“FY26”).
The Company delivered a strong trading performance in FY26 with revenue increasing by 30% to £28.1m, compared with the prior year. Order intake was £20.7m and as a result, the Company ended the year with a total order book of £25.1m.
Adjusted earnings for FY26 are expected to be in line with our recently increased guidance.
In addition, and as previously announced, reported profit before tax for FY26 will benefit from net exceptional income arising from the accelerated payment on a contract due to a change in customer requirements.
The Company’s guidance for FY27 remains unchanged.
Philo Daniel‑Tran, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I am delighted that the Group concluded the FY26 year exceeding original expectations for both revenue and margins. Looking ahead we enter the new financial year with a healthy pipeline of opportunities and remain on track in delivering our strategic Group wide ‘One LPA’ transformation. While inflationary pressures and macroeconomic uncertainties persist, the strength of our balance sheet combined with our strategy of geographical expansion and penetration into new market segments with our existing product portfolio, gives us confidence that the Group is well positioned to capture future opportunities to deliver sustainable long-term growth for all stakeholders."
