Chairman's statement

 J.J. Murray, Chairman

Financial Highlights

Financial highlights of the audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025 compared with the year ended 31 December 2024 are as follows:

•     revenue of £244.3million (2024: £220.7 million),

•     operating profit of £32.7 million (2024: £29.7 million),

•     profit for the year of £23.8 million (2024: £21.7 million),

•     cash of £45.9 million (2024: £29.6 million),

•     earnings per share for the year of £1.94 (2024: £1.77) and

•     a dividend per share of £0.97 (2024: £1.22).

Trading review

The financial highlights illustrate that the Group's revenue increased by £23.6 million (10.7%) to £244.3 million and operating profit increased by £3.0 million (10.1%) to £32.7 million. These results reflect:

•     The movement in the Euro to Sterling average exchange rate, which had a positive effect of £1.7 million on reported revenue and £0.3 million on operating profit. A more detailed review of this year's performance is given in the Financial Review and the Strategic Report.

•     Organic growth as the service companies continue to expand and cross sell additional fire protection services and products to their customers.

•     Service pool growth due to acquisitions in past years.

•      During the year, special projects, the instance of which is unpredictable, experienced strong demand.

Acquisitions

It remains a principal aim of the Group to grow through acquisition. Acquisitions are being sought throughout Europe and the Group will invest at prices where an adequate return is envisaged by the Board. In the year under review the Group completed the acquisition of service contracts from smaller well-established businesses for integration into the Group's existing subsidiaries and has grown its presence in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France.

Management and staff

2025 was a year in which the staff performed well and, on behalf of the shareholders, I would like to express thanks and appreciation for their contribution. The Group recognises that we can only achieve our aims with talented and dedicated colleagues who provide outstanding customer service in every area of the business.

Dividends

An interim dividend in respect of 2025 of £0.55 per ordinary share was paid to shareholders on 5 December 2025. The Board is recommending the payment of a final dividend in respect of 2025 of £0.42 per ordinary share. This would be paid on 10 July 2026 to shareholders on the register on 12 June 2026 with the shares marked ex-dividend on 11 June 2026.

Future prospects

We continue to believe that the Group's well-established business model and solid financials provide a strong foundation to provide profitable growth and long-term shareholder returns. The conflict in the Middle East has no direct impact on the Group but will lead to an increase in inflation and may affect business confidence and growth in our market. The London Security Group has a healthy balance sheet, strong cash reserves and a track record for good cash generation. We will also continue to invest in our future and the Group plans to continue to grow through acquisitions.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 2 Jubilee Way, Elland, West Yorkshire HX5 9DY, on 25 June 2026 at 11.30 am. The Company confirms that shareholders are able to attend in person should they wish to do so.

for the year ended 31 December 2025

1 Earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per ordinary share ("EPS") is based on the profit on ordinary activities after taxation of £23,779,000 (2024: £21,665,000) and on 12,259,877 (2024: 12,259,877) ordinary shares, being the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

For diluted EPS, the weighted average number of shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There was no difference in the weighted average number of shares used for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as there are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.
