Senior on track to meet medium-term targets as FY profits rise
(Sharecast News) - Senior said on Monday that it was on track to meet medium-term financial targets as it posted a rise in full-year profit and revenue, as the performance of its aerospace division improved. In the year to the end of December 2025, adjusted pre-tax profit rose 21% to £51.2% on revenue of £738.3m, up 4% on the previous year, with growth in both divisions and an improved performance in the aerospace segment.
The book-to-bill ratio for the period was 1.09, with Aerospace at 1.21, driven by strong demand across most markets and Flexonics at 0.93, with both segments supported by notable contract wins.
Chief executive David Squires said: "2025 has been a pivotal year for Senior. We successfully completed the sale of our Aerostructures business to Sullivan Street Partners on 31 December 2025, a crucial element in delivering on our strategy to be a market-leading Fluid Conveyance and Thermal Management company supplying highly engineered products and systems.
"Our Aerospace division performed strongly, with order intake, sales, profitability and operating margins all showing good growth during the year and with the division carrying positive momentum into 2026.
"Flexonics delivered a robust set of results in 2025. Overall, the division outperformed its end markets, increased its double-digit operating profit margin and, on a constant currency basis, achieved growth in sales and profitability for the full year. We took pro-active steps to restructure certain operations within the division to protect future profitability."
Squires said trading in the first two months of 2026 has started well and the board's expectations are unchanged for 2026.
Last Friday, shares in Senior surged after the company confirmed it had received and rejected several takeover proposals in the last couple of months, but that discussions with two suitors were ongoing.
Private equity firm Advent International subsequently said it was among the potential suitors considering an offer.
