FY26 AGM Trading Update

“Strong order book growth strengthens confidence in full year out-turn”

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

“The strong order book growth since the start of the new financial year increases our confidence in the Group’s full year out-turn. The strategic acquisitions of Global Photonics and Phoenix Optical in FY2025 have delivered strong customer demand, such that capacity at both sites is being increased. We continue to remain focused on operational improvements and, whilst some macro-economic uncertainty remains, we are making good progress in achieving our strategic ambition of delivering mid-teen returns on sales in the medium term.”
