AGM Trading Update

Full year outlook unchanged, on track for 10% operating margin target

TT Electronics plc ("TT", "the Group"), a global engineer and manufacturer of electronic solutions for critical applications, publishes the following trading update on the Group's performance for the four months to 30 April 2024 (the "period"), ahead of the AGM taking place later today.

Trading update

Group revenue in the period was 2 per cent lower than the previous year on an organic¹ basis, but 1 per cent higher excluding the impact of pass-through revenues which continue to reduce.

Book to bill in the period was positive at 102 per cent with good performance in the Europe and Asian regions however, de-stocking continues and is now expected to normalise during H2. This is impacting our shorter cycle component products, primarily in North America. We have taken cost action to offset the lower demand and as a consequence expect the H2 profit weighting to be more pronounced than normal.

We also continue to unlock significant value through our self-help programme, Project Dynamo, as outlined at our recent Capital Markets Event.

The Board's expectations for the year remain unchanged and the business remains on track to deliver 10 per cent adjusted operating margin in 2024.

Commenting Peter France, Chief Executive Officer said:

"Whilst there is continuing global macro-economic uncertainty, the outlook for our markets remains good. The significant orderbook coverage and our prompt actions across the business underpin the Board's confidence in an unchanged outlook for the year and the delivery of the 10 per cent operating margin target.

Project Dynamo is progressing at pace and the new organisational structure is already helping to optimise resources, drive operational standards and increase customer intimacy as we remain laser focused on efficiency, growth and innovation."
