RESULTS

  • Group revenue reflects challenging trading conditions, Covid-19 disruption and the deferral of a major defence contract from Q4 FY20 into Q1 FY21
  • Adjusted operating loss driven by lower than expected gross margins, the deferral of major defence contract revenue in Chesterfield Special Cylinders (CSC) and poor operational performance in Precision Machined Components (PMC)
  • PMC restructuring, site consolidation and other cost-saving measures were taken promptly in the second half of the year to address the impact of worsening oil and gas market conditions
  • Impairment of PMC goodwill and other intangibles driven by challenging oil and gas market conditions, which are expected to continue throughout 2021

STRATEGIC PROGRESS

  • Board strengthened with new Chairman and two new NEDs
  • Further strategic progress made in diversifying the PMC customer base and securing long-term strategic supply agreements with major OEMs for a wider range of specialised components
  • Diversification of end markets in CSC continues to reduce the historical dependence on the oil and gas sector, resulting in a strong order book for defence and nuclear power customers
  • Growth continues for CSC in the fast-developing hydrogen energy market, with five refuelling station contracts secured in December 2020 for existing and new customers with a total value of around £0.5 million
  • Fifth consecutive year of strong growth in CSC's Integrity Management services, with positive outlook in defence, nuclear power, offshore services and hydrogen energy markets
  • Fundraising of £7.5 million before expenses in December 2020 provides a stronger balance sheet and the resources to capitalise on opportunities in the hydrogen energy market and to accelerate growth in Integrity Management services
