Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (LSE:LST) has released its unaudited results for the six months ended 31 May 2025, reporting continued margin expansion and its first-ever interim operating profit of £0.04 million, compared with a £0.19 million loss a year earlier. Revenue edged down slightly to £5.1 million, but gross margin surged 36.5% to reach 36.3%.
The Passive Fire Protection division delivered a notable increase in revenue share, while the AgTech arm expanded its presence in international markets. The Contract Electronics Manufacturing division concentrated on lowering reliance on a small number of customers and targeting higher-margin opportunities. The Group’s sales pipeline grew to over £58 million, and management remains confident in achieving sustained net profitability.
While recent strategic and financial progress is encouraging, profitability challenges and limited valuation transparency suggest a measured outlook. Nevertheless, the company’s focus on market diversification and global expansion positions it for further growth.
