Croma Security Solutions ( (GB:CSSG) ) has issued an announcement.

Croma Security Solutions reported interim results for the six months to 31 December 2025 showing revenue up 9% to £5.0 million, driven by prior-year acquisitions and resilient trading in its fire, security and locksmith divisions, despite temporary disruption from branch consolidations, refurbishments and a reset of its online advertising strategy. Profitability fell as planned due to higher investment in management, operations and infrastructure, but the group retains a debt-free balance sheet with £4.4 million in cash, additional proceeds due from a prior disposal, and expanding acquisition pipeline, underpinning management’s confidence in meeting full-year expectations and supporting its intention to pay a single final dividend for FY26.

Operationally, Croma streamlined its portfolio by merging four security centres into two refurbished sites, invested heavily in people across operations and engineering, and reset its Google advertising to improve long-term online sales efficiency. Early in the second half it completed the acquisition of TLS Security Systems in Taunton, adding a 17th security centre with strong healthcare sector exposure and cross-selling potential, which, alongside improving customer sentiment post-Budget and new non-executive board appointments, is expected to strengthen the group’s national footprint and future growth prospects.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CSSG) stock is a Hold with a £82.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Croma Security Solutions stock, see the GB:CSSG Stock Forecast page.
