Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed a largely positive outlook driven by strong Printhead growth (+22%), rapid traction in high-value niche markets (wax/jewelry growth to GBP 8m), a large identified battery-coating opportunity (~GBP 200m TAM if fully adopted), improved gross margins (current ~40% with +300 bps in key divisions) and clear medium-term targets (gross margin toward ~50%, operating margin in high teens). Key challenges include uneven division performance (EPS -10%), limited near-term revenue visibility for OEM-driven applications, elevated inventory and near-term CapEx needs, and IP enforcement complexity in China. Overall, the balance of evidence points to expansion and improving profitability prospects while acknowledging execution and timing risks.
Company Guidance
The management gave medium‑term guidance of roughly 10%+ annual revenue growth (consistent with consensus) with at least half of that growth volume‑driven, and targets to lift gross margin from ~40% today toward ~50% and operating margin into the high teens over a 3–5 year horizon; they plan to continue investing c.8–10% of revenue in R&D, expect slightly elevated CapEx to continue, and aim to improve stock turn by 0.5–1 turn p.a. Operational highlights/metrics cited that underpin the guidance include group revenue +12% in 2025, Printhead +22% (with Printhead gross margin +300bps), Megnajet +2%, EPS revenue -10% but EPS gross margin +300bps, wax revenue progression £0m (’23) → £1m (’24) → £8m (’25), a current annual profit of c.£0.8m, and specific market opportunities such as £150k of revenue per battery production line (10 live, +10–15 expected this year; 1,300 total lines = ~£200m addressable if fully adopted over 5 years) and a potential £25m addressable for desktop 3D at 1% of a 500,000 unit market; replacement cycles (e.g., a 4‑year life → 25% p.a. replacement) should generate recurring annuity revenue.
Group Revenue Growth
Group revenue up 12% year-on-year (FY2025 vs FY2024), driven by strength in Printhead sales and new application adoption.
Printhead Segment Outperformance
Printhead revenue increased 22% year-on-year, with over half of that growth driven by volume. Printhead gross margin expanded by ~300 basis points.
Wax / Jewelry Market Win and Rapid Adoption
Wax segment revenue grew from GBP 0 in 2023 to ~GBP 1m in 2024 and GBP 8m in 2025, demonstrating rapid market share capture due to superior fluid capability.
Battery Coating Opportunity (Large TAM)
Current footprint: 10 production lines in China generating ~GBP 150k revenue each (approx. GBP 1.5m today). Expect another 10–15 lines this year. If all 1,300 Chinese production lines adopted digital coating, the opportunity could represent ~GBP 200m of printhead revenue over a multi-year period.
Recurring Revenue Model and Replacement Annuitization
Company emphasizes recurring revenue from printhead replacement cycles (example: a 4-year printhead life implies ~25% annual replacement), creating annuity-like future revenues tied to installed base.
Gross Margin and Profitability Progress
Overall gross margin ~40% (FY2025). Management aiming for medium-term gross margin improvement toward ~50% and operating margin in the high teens; current year profit reported at ~GBP 0.8m and Printhead/EPS each saw ~300 bps gross margin improvement.
R&D and Investment in Growth
Ongoing investment with R&D at ~8–10% of revenue. Management expects continued elevated CapEx near-term to remove bottlenecks and support growth.
Broadening Application Pipeline
Company now derives revenue across 21 separate markets (diversified beyond historical single-market exposure), with notable new product collaborations (NextJet for cars, desktop 3D with Flashforge, digital cardboard printing).
