Jonathan Thomson
CEO & Director ...

Good morning. Today, we announced Diploma's full year 2025 results, and it's been another great year for the group. I want to start by thanking all my brilliant Diploma colleagues for their skill, for their dedication and for their passion. You make all the difference. We've delivered a great performance across all of our key financial metrics ahead of our expectations and building on our long-term track record. We're ambitious about growing our earnings.

Our organic growth was a strong 11%. Our margins are up to well over 20%. And as a result of that, our earnings grew by an encouraging 20% in the year. We marry that ambition with discipline, the discipline of great delivery. Our return on capital was 20%. Our cash was very strong, and our balance sheet, therefore, remains at sensible and modest leverage, giving us capacity for the future. So when we deliver ambition together with discipline, and we do so in the good times and the bad, that's when we continue to deliver sustainable quality compounding.

And I feel really optimistic about the future. The quality and diversity of our portfolio of businesses gives us access to fantastic structurally growing end markets. We also have amazing opportunities in geography and product to grow our white space. Together, therefore, we are very excited about our organic growth in the future. We can accelerate that organic growth by bringing new businesses into the group, too.

In fact, we brought 6 excellent new businesses in since July this year, and the pipeline for the future is looking very healthy, too. The most important success factor for our future, though, is you, our people. And I want to make sure we continue to invest in developing great capability for our future. We have fantastic engagement, the culture is thriving, and that's a massive advantage for us in the future. We're just getting started.
