Porvair (LON:PRV) used its full-year results presentation for the year ended Nov. 30, 2025 to outline record revenue, profit, and margin performance, while also detailing a shift in near-term priorities following a strategic review and the post-year-end acquisition of Drache. The company highlighted continued investment in capacity and automation, including a major aluminum cast house production-line upgrade in the U.S.

Why it matters

Porvair's strong financial results and strategic moves demonstrate its ability to navigate economic uncertainty and end market inconsistency. The acquisition of Drache and investment in aluminum filtration position the company for future growth in a key market. Porvair's focus on ESG initiatives also aligns with broader industry trends.

The details

Porvair reported group revenue of £194 million, up 1% year-over-year, and adjusted operating profit of £26.2 million, up 7%. The company generated £29.2 million of cash from operations, up 14%, which management attributed to improved trading performance and working capital discipline. Porvair completed a strategic review and announced the acquisition of Drache, a leading supplier to the aluminum filtration market, which management said is a 'strong strategic fit' with the Metal Melt Quality division. The company also highlighted progress on its ESG initiatives, including a 31% reduction in carbon intensity from a 2020 baseline.
