Trifast has concluded its 'recover' phase and entered its 'rebuild' phase for FY 2026, focusing on engineering-led solutions and supply chain simplification. This strategic repositioning has led to improved margins despite a revenue decline.
In FY 2026, revenue decreased by 7.3% to £207 million, attributed to a challenging market and a deliberate move away from lower-margin business. However, the company's gross margin improved significantly, rising 170 basis points to 30%.
Underlying EBIT increased to £16.3 million, with the EBIT margin improving by 110 basis points to 7.8%. This was supported by portfolio adjustments and operational enhancements.
The company is actively shifting its portfolio towards high-growth sectors like smart infrastructure and medical equipment. Smart infrastructure now constitutes 17% of total revenue, nearly doubling its previous share.
