Here are the key takeaways from Oxford Instruments’ conference call:
- Full-year performance improved strongly, with order intake up 8% for the year and 14% in the second half, while the company said it finished slightly ahead of expectations despite a difficult start to the year.
- Advanced Technologies was the standout growth engine, delivering 28% order growth, a 25% larger order book versus the start of the year, and a strong pipeline tied to commercial semiconductor demand, especially data communications and AR/VR-related applications.
- Margins and cash generation continued to improve, with group adjusted operating margin up 30 basis points, cash conversion at 89%, and management highlighting lower costs from Belfast restructuring and better operational execution.
- Imaging & Analysis recovered through the year, as orders stabilized and H2 revenue returned to growth; management expects low single-digit revenue growth in FY 2027 as commercial semiconductor demand offsets still-subdued academia.
- The company sees a strong FY 2027 setup, with most of next year’s revenue already covered in Advanced Technologies, expected high-teens revenue growth there, a 6.3% dividend increase, and a planned GBP 100 million share buyback program nearing completion.
