Essentra to meet market forecasts with 2025 results
Industrial components group Essentra Plc said it expects to meet market forecasts with its 2025 results after delivering year-on-year revenue growth and improved order intake in the fourth quarter.
Group revenues for the quarter to 31 December were up 4.8% on a constant-currency, like-for-like basis, helped by pricing, the targeting of faster-growing end-markets like energy transformation and digital infrastructure, as well as the easing of prior-year comparatives.
As a result, group LFL revenues for the year rose 2.5% at constant currencies. Including FX movements, the top line was flat compared with 2024.
Essentra said it saw high single-digit growth across the EMEA region in the fourth quarter, as a standout performance in Turkey was balanced with more moderate growth elsewhere due to mixed market conditions.
The Americas registered low single-digit growth, while the APAC region saw a slight decline in revenues as expected due to large one-off projects in China the previous year.
"As guided, group adjusted operating margins for FY25 remain consistent with the first half of the year. Management continues to focus on delivering operational efficiencies in the near term and the group remains well-placed to benefit as the market recovers," the company said.
Shares were up 1% at 97.27 by 0955 GMT.
