The £0.4m consideration for the Acquisition has been financed from the Group's own cash resources. It is expected that this cost will be fully recouped from customer receipts before the end of FY26. The Acquisition is likely to lead to a bargain purchase gain for the Group, which will be reported as an exceptional item in the current financial period.
In the remaining six months of FY26 Flowtech expects the Acquisition to contribute turnover of c.£1.5m and modest positive EBITDA to the Group. For FY27 the Acquisition is expected to deliver turnover of c.£4m and EBITDA of c.£0.5m.
