AGM Trading Update

Positive start to the year with full year outlook unchanged

TT Electronics plc ("TT", "the Group"), a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, publishes the following trading update on the Group's performance for the four months to the end of April 2023 (the 'period'), ahead of the AGM taking place later today.

Positive start and near full order book coverage

Momentum from last year has continued and trading in the year to date has been encouraging, reflecting the structural growth of TT's end-markets and the strength of our customer relationships. Group revenue in the period was 16 per cent higher than the previous year on a constant currency basis.

The performance in our Power and Connectivity division is much improved on the first half of 2022 and our Sensors and Specialist Components and GMS divisions continue to perform well.

As anticipated, the pace of order intake is returning to more normal levels. The Group's order book remains close to record levels and current year expected revenues are now almost fully covered by orders.

Outlook - full year expectations unchanged

Whilst we are cognisant of the continuing global macro-economic uncertainty, the outlook for our markets remains good. The positive start to the year and the order book coverage underpins the Board's confidence in an unchanged outlook for the year. The Board remains focused on executing on the order book, delivering continued strong profit growth and driving free cashflow.

Commenting Richard Tyson, Chief Executive Officer said:

"We are pleased that the momentum from last year has continued into 2023, with the year starting well. The improved performance of our Power and Connectivity division is particularly notable. Overall, the Group continues to deliver good growth in revenues and our order book position supports our outlook for the full year."
