The latest announcement is out from HCSlingsby plc ( (GB:SLNG) ).
HC Slingsby plc reported a 3% decline in sales for the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year, with a slight decrease in gross margin. Despite this, the company managed to achieve an operating profit before tax and exceptional items of £0.11 million, an improvement from £0.08 million in the same period of 2024, due to reduced overhead costs. However, after accounting for exceptional costs related to a formal sale process and interest costs, the company recorded a loss before tax of £0.09 million. The competitive market, rising corporate costs, and potential credit issues pose challenges for the remainder of the year. The company’s net assets improved slightly to £4.0 million, aided by a decrease in the pension scheme deficit, and the company continues to operate within its banking facilities. Due to the net loss and uncertain outlook, no interim dividend was declared.
