Group revenue for the first quarter of the current financial year was £157.8m, compared to £116.9m for the corresponding period last year. We have experienced strong revenue growth in all our regions following an improvement to global macroeconomic conditions over the last year.
In our Manufacturing technologies business (formerly Metrology) revenue amounted to £148.5m, compared to £111.2m last year, with the strong growth driven largely by demand from the semiconductor and electronics markets. In our Analytical instruments and medical devices business (formerly Healthcare) revenue was £9.3m, compared with £5.7m last year.
Adjusted* profit before tax for the first quarter amounted to £41.7m compared with £18.3m last year and the statutory profit before tax amounted to £39.3m (2020: £28.2m).
Financial position
The Group balance sheet remains strong with net cash and bank deposit balances of £234.8m at 30 September 2021 (30 June 2021: £215.0m).
Outlook
The 2022 financial year has started with a strong first quarter and we currently have a record order book. We expect demand from the semiconductor and electronics sectors to remain strong and that there will continue to be a recovery in the machine tool and co-ordinate measuring machine markets. In our Analytical instruments and medical devices markets, we have seen confidence return and capital expenditure projects released.
The Board continues to be confident in our long-term prospects, due to our strong financial position, the high quality of our people, our innovative product pipeline, extensive global sales and marketing presence and relevance to high-value manufacturing.
The results for the half year ending 31 December 2021 are expected to be released on 3 February 2022.
