Braime Group reports 7% revenue increase in first half 2025

LONDON - Braime Group PLC announced a 7% increase in revenue to £26.4 million for the first six months of 2025, according to a press release statement issued Tuesday. The company also reported a 24% rise in profit from operations to £2.2 million compared to the same period last year.

The manufacturing and distribution group, which specializes in components for material handling, saw growth across all subsidiaries despite global economic uncertainties, including the impact of U.S. tariffs announced in April 2025.

Profit before tax reached £2.0 million, up from £1.5 million in the first half of 2024. The board has increased the interim dividend from 5.25p to 6.0p, payable on October 17 to shareholders on record as of October 3.

The company’s Braime Pressings Limited division reported external sales revenue of £3.1 million, an increase of £387,000 from the same period last year. Meanwhile, the 4B distribution division saw external sales revenue rise by £1.3 million to £23.3 million.

Net assets of the Group as of June 30, 2025, stood at £23.3 million, compared to £21.9 million a year earlier. Capital expenditure during the period totaled £1.5 million, primarily for the refurbishment of the oil can roof at the UK headquarters.

The Group’s net cash position at the end of June was £562,000, slightly higher than the £450,000 reported in June 2024. However, the company noted that currency fluctuations had a negative impact, with sterling strengthening against the U.S. dollar reducing reported earnings.

Looking ahead, Braime Group indicated that while most global economies remain subdued, the company is focusing on supporting major end users in maintaining existing facilities and improving hazard protection to drive growth in a challenging market environment.
