Symphony Environmental Technologies plc

("Symphony", the "Company" or the "Group")

FY-2025 pre-close trading update and

Strong start to FY-2026 - first half profitability

Symphony Environmental Technologies plc ("Symphony" or the "Group"); global specialists in technologies that make plastic and rubber products "smarter, safer and sustainable", is pleased to provide the following pre-close trading update for the year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY-2025") and notice of FY-2025 results, together with a trading update for the current year to date.

​

FY2025 trading update (subject to audit)

​

Further to the Company's announcement on 17 December 2025, the Board now expects that, as a result of management‑driven strategic change in its Middle East operations, Group revenue for FY-2025 will be higher than previously guided, at approximately £5.7 million, with an adjusted loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("adjusted LBITDA") broadly comparable to that incurred in the prior year, at approximately £0.9 million.

​

Importantly, and as further set out below, sales momentum has not just continued but accelerated during the first four months of FY-2026, running at more than 10 per cent. ahead of the same period last year. Furthermore, margins are also improving due to operational leverage as well as the positive impact of strategic initiatives taken during FY-2025, in particular in the Middle East.

​

In addition to the above adjusted LBITDA, the following one-off costs were incurred during FY-2025 as well as certain asset provisions will be made to the FY-2025 results:

· Strategic costs of £500,000 primarily in relation to the Middle East but also of certain future corporate initiatives;

· Impairment provision of £468,000 against development costs for the Group's antimicrobial products due to extended South American customer trials and commercial evaluation; and

· Other investment provisions of £107,000.

The net loss including provisions and strategic costs for FY-2025 is expected to be £2.5 million (FY-2024: £1.3 million).

​

The Board expects to announce its preliminary results for FY-2025 during the latter half of May.

​

Outlook

​

The Board remains focused on margin quality, disciplined cost control and the commercialisation of higher‑value technologies, rather than short‑term volume growth.

​

That said, it is particularly pleasing that trading in the first four months of 2026 has improved materially. The Group delivered a positive EBITDA in Q1-2026, compared with a loss in the corresponding prior‑year and based on current order patterns, expects to deliver a net profit for H1-2026.

​

Revenues are currently tracking more than 10 per cent ahead of the same period last year. Confirmed orders have been received across all principal markets, particularly Central America. While the timing of shipments remains subject to customer scheduling and customary operational factors, the Board is encouraged by the visibility and quality of the pipeline now in place, which underpins its confidence in the Group's earnings trajectory.

​

The Group continues to monitor the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East, which to date has not had a material adverse effect on operations.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Symphony Environmental

Symphony's d2w masterbatch technology is added to polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) products at the manufacturing stage at little or no extra cost, and ensures that if they get into the environment at the end of their useful life they will not create microplastics and lie or float around for decades. https://www.symphonyenvironmental.com/technologies/biodegradable-plastic/ Instead they will safely biodegrade, leaving no microplastics or toxicity.

If they get collected during their programmed life they can be recycled with ordinary PE and PP without separation See https://www.biodeg.org/subjects-of-interest/recycling-2/

Symphony also supplies a range of plastic technologies under its d2p (designed to protect) brand www.d2p.net to provide protection against insects, viruses, bacteria, fungi, rodents, odours, and fire. 

It has also introduced a new product under its NbR brand https://www.symphonyenvironmental.com/natural-biodegradable-resin/ to reduce the amount of fossil-derived material in plastic products.
