Bodycote plc

Extension of Share Buyback Programme

 

Bodycote plc (”Company”), the world's leading provider of heat treatment and specialist thermal processing services, today confirms its intention to further extend its share buyback programme, as originally announced on 15 March 2024 ('Programme'), by a further £30 million resulting in a total maximum aggregate consideration of £120 million being allocated to the Programme.

 

Having completed the third £30 million tranche on 9 July 2025, the Company has now entered into a further agreement with Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies") to execute an additional £30 million share buyback as an extension to the original Programme (the 'Extended Programme') to start immediately. Under this arrangement, Jefferies will carry out on-market purchases of ordinary shares. Jefferies will make its trading decisions in relation to the Extended Programme independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company. Purchases may continue during any close period to which the Company is subject during the Extended Programme.

 

The Extended Programme will otherwise continue to be subject to the same parameters, and for the same purpose, as set out in the Company's original share buyback announcement issued on 15 March 2024, in particular with respect to the volume of shares that can be traded. The maximum number of shares which can be repurchased under the Programme is currently 17,949,908. The Extended Programme will be conducted at all times within the limits of the applicable authority granted by shareholders at the 2025 AGM to repurchase the Company's ordinary shares in issue. It is anticipated that the Extended Programme will end no later than end January 2026. The sole purpose of the Extended Programme is to reduce the Company's share capital and accordingly, the purchased ordinary shares will be cancelled.

 

This Extended Programme will be conducted in accordance with the Company's general authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares, Chapter 9 of the FCA’s Listing Rules, and in accordance with the parameters prescribed by the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018). Share purchases in relation to the Extended Programme will be carried out on the open market via the London Stock Exchange and/or other recognised investment exchange(s) for the purposes of section 693 of the Companies Act 2006 and may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. Purchases may continue during any closed period to which the Company is subject during the engagement period.

Highlights

Performance in line with expectations provided in May trading update; full year outlook unchanged Market conditions remain challenging, though momentum improved through H1 with sequential growth seen in almost all end markets vs soft 2H24 (Core revenue +4.3%) Core revenue -3.6% YoY organically, impacted by weak Industrial and Automotive markets and delivery phasing in Specialist Technologies; Group revenue -4.6% YoY organically (-7.5% total) Adjusted operating profit of £55.1m (1H24: £66.8m), due to lower revenue, mix and FX impact; statutory operating profit higher at £41.2m (1H24: £30.8m) due to lower exceptional charges Adjusted operating margin of 14.9% (1H24: 16.7%) reflecting lower revenues and divisional mix Continued good progress on the Optimise, Perform and Grow strategy laid out at our 2024 CME Key Perform and Grow programmes underway, including roll-out of service quality initiatives and targeted capacity expansions for future growth Optimise programme enhanced: expected profit benefit increased to at least £15m (previously £12-14m) and net execution costs post-disposals materially reduced to £10-15m (vs. £25-30m) Remain confident in delivery of our medium term financial targets Additional £30m share buyback announced, enabled by strong balance sheet and low leverage Full year outlook unchanged and in line with market expectations.3 Macro environment remains uncertain; H2 profit improvement expected, reflecting Optimise benefits, continued Aerospace recovery and improved Specialist Technologies trading

Commenting, Jim Fairbairn, Chief Executive Officer, said:

“Trading has been in line with our expectations following our May update. Demand is strong in industrial gas turbines, as well as in Aerospace and Defence where supply chain conditions are improving. Automotive and Industrial markets remain weak but saw modest improvement versus a soft second half of 2024. We made significant progress on our Optimise, Perform & Grow strategy in the period. On Optimise, we are executing well on the original programme and expect execution costs to be lower than previously estimated. Due to this increased confidence in execution, as well as ongoing challenges in certain end markets, we have expanded the scope of the programme with additional sites and overhead actions. We have also entered into a contractual process to dispose of a package of Automotive and Industrial sites in France for around £20m in cash proceeds, helping to reduce programme costs. As a result of these changes, the programme will now deliver an increased annual profit benefit of at least £15m at a materially lower net cost of £10-15m.We also continue to deliver on Perform and Grow. In Perform, we are rolling out service quality initiatives which are demonstrating tangible early benefits. In Grow, we are investing in our target areas at the same time as improving our sales capability and service offering, which will help to drive an acceleration in our future growth. We have also made significant progress on sustainability, both to reduce our own emissions and improve our customer offering.Our full year guidance is unchanged and is in line with market expectations.3 While the macro environment remains uncertain, we expect higher profit in the second half underpinned by Optimise benefits, continued recovery in Aerospace, and improved Specialist Technologies performance as we deliver new contract wins. Our focus continues to be on controlling costs and executing on our strategy as we transition Bodycote into a higher quality, more resilient and faster growing business. We remain confident in delivering our medium term financial targets."

Half Year Commentary

Core Overview

Core revenue reduced by 3.6% organically in H1 to £351.9m. This reflected continued weakness in Automotive and Industrial Markets, as well as delivery phasing in Specialist Technologies. By division, Specialist Technologies revenue declined by 7.7% organically, which included the expected impact of the end of Oil & Gas project work in 2024, as well as delivery phasing in HIP Product Fabrication (HIP PF). Momentum improved through the period with flat revenue YoY in May and June, and good growth is expected in H2 as we deliver on new order wins and the Aerospace volume recovery continues. Precision Heat Treatment was resilient given challenging end markets, with revenue down 1.8% organically, as the decline in Automotive and Industrial markets was partly offset by growth in industrial gas turbines, Aerospace & Defence, and Consumer, Medical & Other.

Core adjusted operating profit reduced to £54.3m (H1 2024: £65.9m) driven by lower revenue, alongside the mix effect of a lower share of revenue in Specialist Technologies. Central costs reduced by £1.7m organically, reflecting cost control actions as well as lower charges for share-based incentive pay. Core adjusted operating margins were 15.4% (H1 2024: 17.6%). In H2 we expect a higher level of both profit and margins, driven by improved Specialist Technologies trading as well as increased Optimise benefits, with the majority of the £4-5m full year profit benefit delivered in H2.

Group Overview

Including Non-core businesses, total Group revenue was £369.0m (H1 2024: £399.0m), 4.6% lower organically. This reflected the organic reduction in Core revenue, compounded by a 21.1% reduction in Non-core revenue as Optimise programme plant consolidations take effect. Group adjusted operating profit of £55.1m was down year-on-year (H1 2024: £66.8m) primarily reflecting the lower Core profit.

Group statutory operating profit was £41.2m in the period, up 33.8% from £30.8m in H1 2024. This included a lower level of exceptional charges in the period, including the non-repeat of a £28.3m ERP impairment in H1 2024, partly offset by additional charges relating to the Optimise programme.

Basic adjusted earnings per share was 21.3p (H1 2024: 25.0p), 14.8% lower year-on-year reflecting reduced profit partly offset by a lower share count due to the share buyback programme. The higher statutory profit resulted in improved statutory earnings per share of 15.5p (H1 2024: 10.2p).

Adjusted operating cash flow of £37.7m (H1 2024: £49.2m) was lower year-on-year, due to reduced profit and an increase in capital expenditure, partly offset by the non-repeat of a £6m one-off provision outflow in the prior year. Cash conversion remained healthy at 68% (H1 2024: 74%). Free cash flow of £18.0m was lower year-on-year (H1 2024: £26.0m) as lower adjusted operating cash flow and higher restructuring costs were partly offset by a lower level of cash tax, which was heavily H1-weighted in the prior year.

Closing net debt excluding lease liabilities was £112.5m, with leverage remaining low at 0.6x net debt / adj. EBITDA. Net debt excluding lease liabilities increased from £68.3m at year-end 2024, driven by payment of the full year dividend (£28.7m) and the share buyback programme (£30.9m) which more than offset free cash flow of £18.0m in the period.
