The earnings call presented a strong financial and operational performance with significant contract wins and a strategic expansion into the U.S. market. While political changes and mixed segmental performance posed some challenges, the company has planned for these within its guidance. The company's robust order backlog and positive cash flow position it well for future growth.

Company Guidance

During the call, the company provided guidance for its FY '27 targets, projecting GBP 2.4 billion in organic revenue with an approximately 12% operating margin.
