FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TT Electronics plc
Update on 2024 Final Results
TT Electronics plc ("TT", "the Group"), a global engineer and manufacturer of electronic solutions for critical applications, announces a delay of up to two weeks1 to the release of its final results for the year ended 31 December 2024 due to additional time required to complete the audit.
In relation to the 2024 results TT confirms that subject to the conclusion of the audit:
· Adjusted operating profit is expected to be in line with prior guidance
· Free cash flow generation has been strong and therefore year-end leverage is within our target range of 1-2x
· In light of the previously disclosed downturn in components demand and operational execution challenges in North America there is likely to be a non-cash accounting impairment of goodwill and fixed assets for the region of up to £35 million as well as a prior year results adjustment of up to £6 million in relation to the Cleveland site
We will provide further details on the outlook for 2025 at the time of our results announcement. We continue to expect good adjusted operating profit progress relative to 2024 but expect the outturn to be in the range of £40 million to £46 million. The improvement plan for Cleveland is underway but the benefits will take longer to realise than originally anticipated. We continue to drive our action plans to work towards our medium term 12% adjusted operating margin target, however we now do not expect this to be delivered in 2026.
We will confirm the revised results announcement date in due course. Further to the announcement made on 8 January, Mark Hoad will now remain as CFO until the revised results announcement date and only then step down as CFO and from the Board, with Eric Lakin then appointed CFO and a member of the Board. Mark will remain available to the Company until 30 September 2025.
