Rotork Plc (ROR.L) reported profit before tax of 65.1 million pounds in the first-half of 2025 down from 69.7 million pounds in the previous year.
Profit attributable to owners of the parent for the period was 47.7 million pounds or 5.6 pence per share down from 51.7 million pounds or 6.0 pence per share last year, reflecting lower net finance income and increased adjusting items, including Business Transformation costs.
But adjusted earnings per share increased to 7.0 pence from last year's 6.8 pence, supported by strong underlying operating profit growth, partially offset by FX headwinds and lower net finance income following the acquisition of Noah and the share buyback.
Group revenue for the period increased by 1.6% year-over-year to 367.3 million pounds, representing a 3.3% rise on an organic constant currency (OCC) basis.
The Group completed 22 million pounds of the 50 million pounds of share buyback announced at the FY 2024 results (30 million pounds by the end of July). The ordinary shares purchased will be cancelled.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.95 pence per share, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 7.3%. The interim dividend will be paid on 22 September 2025 to ordinary shareholders on the register on 15 August 2025.
The company also expects to complete the remaining portion of the share buyback program by the end of the year.
Looking ahead, full year expectations are unchanged and the company continues to anticipate 2025 to be another year of progress on an organic constant currency basis.
