Divisional re-statement for enhanced Optimise programme
Bodycote, the world's leading provider of specialist thermal processing services, today publishes historical financial information for 2024 and the first half of 2025 reflecting a new divisional reporting structure.
At our Half Year results on 30 July 2025 we announced an expansion to the scope of our ongoing Optimise programme. The revised and final programme, which includes 30 plants, will deliver an improved run-rate profit benefit of at least £15m by mid-2027 for a net cash cost of £10-15m. As a result of this expanded scope, the additional plants will now be classified as Non-Core. Our Full Year 2025 results will be presented based on this updated structure.
The tables below show our H1 2024, FY 2024 and H1 2025 divisional performance on the new re-classified basis. The historical financial information contained in the following tables is unaudited.
