Halma trading update points to full-year growth
Halma has reported continued progress ahead of the end of its financial year, with the group expecting mid-teens organic constant currency revenue growth for the year ending 31 March 2026.
In a trading update released on 12 March, the global group of life-saving technology companies confirmed that second-half trading to date remains consistent with the upgraded guidance set out in its half year results published in November 2025.
The group expects to deliver a 23rd consecutive year of record adjusted profit.
Growth has been broad-based across Halma’s portfolio of technology companies, which operate across sectors including safety, environmental monitoring and healthcare.
Order intake remains ahead of revenue in the year to date and also ahead of the comparable period last year.
Premium growth in photonics within the Environmental & Analysis Sector continues to support revenue performance.
Halma expects full-year cash conversion to remain in line with its KPI of 90%.
The appreciation of Sterling is expected to create a negative currency translation effect on the group’s results.
Halma continues acquisition investment across group sectors
Halma has completed five acquisitions during the financial year to date, including three since the half year ended on 30 September 2025.
These acquisitions span the group’s three operating sectors.
Total investment in acquisitions has reached a record £451m on a maximum total consideration basis.
The company reports that its acquisition pipeline remains active across all three sectors.
Halma will publish its full year results for the year ending 31 March 2026 on 11 June 2026.
