- Performance in the six months ended 30 June 2025 ("H2 FY25") was significantly stronger than in the six months ended 31 December 2024 ("H1 FY25") due to the impact of several new contracts (outlined above), a full period contribution from CS Lifesciences, and the typical "seasonality" of the Group's business.

Dr Chris Hand, Executive Chairman, at Abingdon Health plc, commented:
"We are delighted to announce our full-year results for FY25, which reflect significant commercial and operational progress following the opening of Abingdon Analytical in Doncaster, UK and Abingdon Health USA Inc, our new US CDMO site in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
"Following some temporary headwinds in H1 FY25, we have seen a significantly stronger performance in H2 FY25 via our integrated end-to-end CDMO service offering and several major contracts announced in that period and since year end. The momentum has continued into the current financial year, and we are confident of reporting continued progress in FY26.
"The recently completed placing and retail offer will support further expansion of our USA operations, where we are seeing significant customer interest in progressing development projects through to manufacture, and provide the working capital to execute the larger contracts we are winning. I look forward to updating our shareholders further in due course.
"I would like to thank colleagues across the Abingdon Health Group for their hard work and contribution, and I'd like to thank shareholders for their continued support."
