AGM Trading Update

Performance in line with expectations, driven by margin recovery and progress on our medium-term Recover, Rebuild, Resilience strategy

Trifast plc ('Trifast' or the 'Group', LSE: TRl.L), the international specialist in the design, engineering, manufacture, and distribution of high-quality engineered fastenings, provide a trading update in advance of the Group's Annual General Meeting on 11 September 2025.

Trading in the first four months of the current financial year (FY26) has been in line with the Board's expectations and consistent with that reported at our Full Year results in July 2025.

Macroeconomic headwinds remain, impacting certain industrial markets, but Trifast has built-in resilience to help counter this through our global manufacturing footprint, engineering expertise and exposure to growing end-markets, as well as our critical position in customers' supply chains and the support we provide to help them navigate the current environment.

Our focus remains on the self-help levers to deliver further margin improvement as we transform our business into an efficient, professional and data-led organisation. The success to date of our Recover, Rebuild, Resilience turnaround strategy gives the Board confidence that we will be able to deliver our objectives of margin growth and improved cash generation despite the industrial backdrop. Today, Trifast is a leaner, more focused and better business. Whilst there is more to accomplish, we are excited about the future potential of the business as we look to the next chapter of its growth.

Looking ahead, despite continuing external market challenges, we remain confident in delivering our medium-term ambitions, including an EBIT margin target of >10%.

The Group expects to release Half Year results for the six-month period ending 30 September 2025 on 18 November 2025.
