Senior PLC on Thursday said full-year results will come in ‘comfortably above’ previous expectations after ‘strong’ trading across its Aerospace and Flexonics divisions in the first 10 months of 2025. The Hertfordshire, England-based maker of components and systems for aerospace & defence, land vehicle, and power & energy customers said group revenue rose 5.9% year-on-year on a constant-currency basis in the 10-month period ended October. Senior shares, however, lost 7.1% to 170.80 pence in London on Thursday afternoon. They are up 18% over the past year and have shot up around 50% since a year-to-date trough back in April. Aerospace sales grew 9.4%, supported by rising commercial aircraft production rates, higher defence spending and improved pricing. Senior said it expects these tailwinds to continue ‘for the full year and beyond’. Flexonics revenue increased 1.5% over the period, underpinned by robust aftermarket demand in nuclear and downstream oil and gas markets. The division continued to outperform land vehicle markets, Senior said, which softened in the second half as anticipated. Senior now expects Flexonics’ financial 2025 performance to be ‘slightly better’ than last year. ‘With the continuing strong performance in Aerospace, and improved trading in Flexonics, the Board anticipates overall Group performance for the full year to be comfortably ahead of previous expectations,’ the company said, adding it remains on track to meet its medium-term financial targets. Senior also reported progress on the sale of its Aerostructures business, which it still aims to complete by the end of 2025. The company said an extended US government shutdown had delayed regulatory approvals but that the process is now moving forward. Trading at Aerostructures, classified as discontinued operations, continued to improve year-on-year, though some external supply-chain issues are affecting deliveries.
