The latest announcement is out from Origin Enterprises plc ( (GB:OGN) ).

Origin Enterprises reported a solid first-half performance for the six months to 31 January 2026, with group revenue up 2.5% to €852.6 million and total operating profit rising 2.4% to €17.4 million, driven primarily by growth in its Living Landscapes division. Agriculture profits were broadly flat as gains in Ireland/UK and Latin America offset weaker Central Europe, while cautious farm sentiment persisted amid lower grain, oilseed and dairy prices.

Living Landscapes delivered an 8.3% increase in operating profit on early-season organic growth in Sports and Landscapes and acquisition-led gains in Environmental, with demand remaining robust into the second half. Adjusted EPS fell to 4.55 cent due to higher finance costs from increased average debt, net bank debt rose to €283.5 million as the Group built inventory ahead of new EU carbon border charges, the sustainability-linked €440 million credit facility was extended to 2031, and the interim dividend was held at 3.15 cent as the company prepares a new five-year strategy and transitions its chairmanship.
