IMI (IMI.L) unveiled plans for a new 500 million pound-sterling share repurchase program as it delivered “high-quality” growth in revenue and profit for full-year 2025.
For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2025, the UK-headquartered fluid and motion control company’s statutory and adjusted revenue rose year over year to 2.30 billion pounds from 2.21 billion pounds, up 5% on an organic basis, according to preliminary results released Friday. The result was bolstered by strong organic revenue growth at the group’s Automation platform.
Statutory profit after tax climbed to 309.9 million pounds from 248.5 million pounds, while statutory operating profit grew to 422.4 million pounds from 356.2 million pounds. On an adjusted basis, after-tax profit and operating profit amounted to 330 million pounds and 460.1 million pounds, respectively. Statutory EPS rose to 1.238 pounds from the year-ago 0.956 pound.
“The execution of our growth strategy is creating significant value for shareholders, and we delivered another strong performance in 2025. We have now delivered five consecutive years of mid-single digit organic revenue growth and expanded margins to meet our medium-term target of 20%+,” Chief Executive Officer Roy Twite said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the board proposed a final dividend of 0.232 pound per share, up from 0.211 pound per share a year before, as part of its progressive dividend commitment. This takes the total dividend distribution for 2025 to 0.342 pound per share, higher than the year-ago 0.311 pound per share.
For 2026, IMI expects to deliver its sixth year in a row of mid-single digit organic revenue growth and adjusted basic EPS of between 1.36 pounds and 1.42 pounds, with the assumption that the sale of its Truflo Marine business to Fairbanks Morse Defense will be completed in mid-2026.
The group’s shares were trading 2% higher in London as of Friday midday.
