    Sixty seconds on the FY2025 report

    Plexus Holdings plc, which supplies patented wellhead equipment for offshore oil and gas wells, saw revenue fall to £4.5m in the year to 30 June 2025, from £12.7m the year before. It made a loss after tax of £3.3m, against a profit of £2.9m. The report says the previous year was lifted by a one-off licensing deal with SLB worth £4,082k, which had no matching costs, and by a large North Sea project. This year several projects were postponed, and uncertainty over changes to a UK tax on energy companies' profits slowed drilling work. The chief executive said the loss reflects a decision to reinvest in its fleet of rental equipment. Cash at the year end was £2.5m, the same as a year earlier, after the company raised £3.2m from new shares in April 2025. Dividends remain suspended. Management expects new rental work in the USA and the Middle East in early 2026. The auditor flagged a serious uncertainty over whether the company can keep going: it relies on a new £2m loan from a company linked to its chairman and on winning sales not yet contracted.

    What drove revenue

    Exact Jack-up rental wellhead fleet utilisation

    Growing revenue through utilisation of Exact equipment, generating circa £2,160k in the year; April 2025 raise used to double the Exact-EX rental fleet

    And

    Large one-off/major rental and special projects

    North Sea special project completed December 2024 generated revenues of over £9m (prior comparative period); Dutch sector P&A contract generated £1.9m in June 2025

    What moved the marginheadwind

    Prior year one-off SLB licensing agreement had no associated cost of sale

    Gross margin decreased from 72.17% (2024) to 51.42% (2025); year-to-year comparison adds little value given the prior year included the one-off SLB licensing agreement with no associated cost of sale

    Rising rental asset depreciation

    Rental asset depreciation (included in cost of sales) increased from £321k in the prior year to £681k in the current year due to investment in the rental fleet over the last two years

    What management said

    CEO Craig Hendrie: this year was one of active rebuilding with significant progress expanding the rental wellhead fleet and re-establishing momentum in the core Jack-up business; the loss before tax of £3.27m is consistent with the strategic decision to reinvest in the rental model

    The dividend

    No dividends paid in the year and no final dividend proposed; Directors believe it prudent to suspend dividend payments given ongoing capital and operational requirements, while remaining committed to distributing dividends to shareholders when appropriate

    Going concern and the audit

    Auditor Crowe U.K. LLP gave an unmodified opinion (true and fair view) but drew attention to a material uncertainty related to going concern (note 1b): the Group and Company are reliant on receipt of additional funding under a new £2m loan facility with OFM Holdings Limited (a related party controlled by a trust of which Chairman Ben van Bilderbeek is settlor) and on converting currently uncontracted sales growth in 2026; failure to achieve either would cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern. Key audit matters: (1) impairment of intangible assets/goodwill (net book value £8.6m), given net asset value exceeded market capitalisation at reporting date; (2) carrying value of Parent Company investments in subsidiaries (£7.2m) and intercompany receivables (£2.8m). Group materiality £150,000 (5% of Group loss before tax, before non-recurring items); Parent materiality £80,000. Auditor tenure 19 years with audit partner rotation every 5 years.
