Financials

Filtronic’s year-end trading update confirmed that it expects to report FY24 revenue and adjusted EBITDA ahead of our forecasts. Trading in H2 benefited from strong demand from the space market, which we expect to continue into FY25. The company confirmed it has ramped its production capability to meet this higher level of demand and continues to invest in further capacity expansion to provide flexibility and support for future growth. We have revised our FY24 forecasts to reflect the expected FY24 outturn, which results in a normalised diluted EPS upgrade of 18%. For FY25, we maintain our revenue and profit forecasts but assume a better year-end net cash position of £5.8m (vs our previous £4.0m forecast).
