Pressure Technologies plc
("Pressure Technologies" or "the Company" or "the Group")
Update on Sale of Precision Machined Components Division & Trading
Pressure Technologies plc (AIM: PRES), the specialist engineering group, provides an update on the sale of its Precision Machined Components division ("PMC") and on trading for the financial year ending 30 September 2024 ("FY24").
Update on Sale of PMC
In June 2024, the Group announced that a preferred buyer had been identified and that the transaction was expected to complete in August 2024. The sale process is now at an advanced stage and due diligence has been completed. The Board expects the transaction to complete in the very near future.
Trading Update
Also in June 2024, the Group announced an expected full-year FY24 Adjusted EBITDA of not less than £1.0 million. While PMC has continued to deliver a strong performance through the second half of the year, the Board now expects the Group's full-year FY24 performance to be slightly below previous guidance due to later than anticipated defence order placement and project delays in Chesterfield Special Cylinders.
Additional Information
The person responsible for arranging release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Steve Hammell, Chief Financial Officer.
