FILTRONIC

Filtronic reported revenue of £55.50m for fiscal year 2026, missing the consensus estimate of £56.15m. Adjusted EBITDA was £11.30m, net profit £4.60m and earnings per share £0.02; both metrics were partly reduced by higher investment. Revenue was weighed down by an additional £2.2m depreciation related to a stock option agreement with SpaceX and £2.0m of adverse currency effects from a weaker US dollar. Operating costs rose 19% due to spending on engineering, manufacturing and business development. Filtronic has an order book covering about 90% of expected 2027 revenue and, driven by a gallium nitride production ramp mainly in H2 2027, expects results broadly in line with market expectations. » Más en de.investing.com

Filtronic has received a provisional release of approximately £7m from a leading European prime contractor for the next phase of a long-running electronic sensing programme. The release allows work to begin ahead of the final contract award in the first quarter of 2026; the total value of the two-year programme is estimated at around £11m. Production is planned at Filtronic’s new secure, automated microelectronics manufacturing facility in Sedgefield, strengthening the company’s capacity for RF modules for mission-critical defence applications. » Más en de.investing.com

In the first half, Filtronic landed the largest order in its history to date from SpaceX for E‑Band‑GaN products, as well as significant multi‑year contracts with a European aerospace manufacturer (€7m) and a defence order worth £13.4m. Cash balance fell to £10.5m after self‑funding the headquarters move; net liquidity excluding lease liabilities was £8.5m. The company plans to launch new high‑frequency GaN products in 2026 and received £1.2m in grants for a 550 W Ka‑band amplifier. Filtronic enters the second half with a strong order book and a growing pipeline, and expects 2026 revenue of £55.5m and EBITDA of £10.9m. » Más en de.investing.com
