**Summary**

Oxford Instruments PLC released a corrected half-year trading update for the six months ended 30 September 2025, amending the H1/H2 profit split in the pro-forma consolidated statement of income for FY25. The company reported contrasting order dynamics across its two divisions: Imaging and Analysis (I&A) and Advanced Technologies (AT). Despite market turbulence due to tariffs and global economic uncertainty, the Groups first-half order intake increased by just over 1% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis, with a strong recovery in Q2 after a decline in Q1.

**Key Highlights**

**Imaging and Analysis (I&A)** Order intake fell 6% OCC in H1 due to delayed purchases by academic and commercial customers. Revenues were 9% lower OCC, but margin improvements are expected in H2 due to cost-saving measures and a refocused product portfolio.

**Advanced Technologies (AT)** Strong momentum in the compound semiconductor business, with 25% OCC growth in H1 orders, driven by augmented reality and datacomms applications. The move to the Severn Beach facility has boosted customer confidence.

**Group Performance** H1 revenues are expected to be down 8% OCC, with an adjusted operating profit margin of around 14.5%. Full-year revenue, adjusted operating profit, and margin are expected to be similar to the prior year on an OCC basis.

**Currency Impact** An additional £1m headwind to operating profit is anticipated, in addition to the previously guided £4.5m.

**Sale of NanoScience** The divestment is progressing well and is expected to complete in Q3.

CEO Richard Tyson highlighted the team’s agility in navigating a dynamic trading landscape and expressed confidence in H2 progress, driven by strategic actions and strong demand in the compound semiconductor business. Interim results will be announced on 11 November 2025.

**Summary**

Oxford Instruments PLC released a half-year trading update for the six months ended 30 September 2025, highlighting contrasting performance across its two divisions: Imaging and Analysis (I&A) and Advanced Technologies (AT). The company experienced market turbulence due to tariffs and global economic uncertainty, which disproportionately affected the I&A division, leading to a 6% decline in order intake for H1. In contrast, the AT division saw strong growth, driven by the compound semiconductor market and expansion into volume manufacturing customers, with a 25% increase in H1 orders.

At the Group level, first-half order intake was up 1% on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis, with Q2 showing improved momentum after a 3% decline in Q1. Revenues for H1 are expected to be down 8% OCC, primarily due to the I&A divisions performance. However, the company anticipates a stronger H2, with modest revenue growth, cost savings, and margin improvement initiatives.

Key highlights include

I&A division faced challenges due to tariff disruptions and delayed purchases, but business improvement actions in Belfast are expected to boost margins in H2.

AT division continued its strong momentum, particularly in compound semiconductors, with a full order book for H2.

The sale of the NanoScience business is on track for completion in Q3.

Full-year revenue, adjusted operating profit (AOP), and AOP margin are expected to be similar to the prior year on an OCC basis.

CEO Richard Tyson expressed confidence in the companys ability to navigate the dynamic global trading landscape and deliver progress in H2, driven by strategic actions and team agility. Interim results will be announced on 11 November 2025.
