FY25 Full Year Trading Update

Charlie Peppiatt, Chief Executive Officer of Gooch & Housego, commented:

“I am delighted with the positive progress the Group has made in FY25. Our operational performance has shown sustained improvement and resilience in the face of a complex and uncertain macroeconomic background, with unprecedented supply chain and tariff challenges. This is a testament to the positive progress the Group is making with the deployment of our strategy and the quality of our workforce.

“The integration of both Phoenix and Global Photonics into G&H is proceeding to plan. Both businesses are an excellent strategic and operational fit for the Group. In particular, Global Photonics, acquired in May 2025, brings strong relationships with U.S. defence primes and complementary manufacturing capabilities to our growing Optical Systems division in North America. Both acquisitions are accelerators to G&H becoming a partner of choice for high-precision optical systems and photonics in the UK, US and Europe.

“With our growing order book, strengthening market positions and differentiated photonics expertise aligned to structural growth drivers from megatrends, we are increasingly confident in the prospects of the company to deliver our strategy in the medium term.”
