FTSE 100 company Halma has delivered another set of record-breaking results, leading to the firm’s share price rising by 11% in the first hour of trading today.

The global safety, health and environmental technology group reported a strong first half and raised its full-year guidance as demand continues to grow across its portfolio.

For the six months to 30 September 2025, it posted double-digit growth across revenue, profit and margins.

Revenue rose 15.2% to £1.24 billion, while adjusted EBIT increased 26.7% to £282 million. 

Statutory profit before tax climbed 39% to £241.8m and return on total invested capital strengthened to 16.2%.

“We made excellent progress in the first half, further extending our track record of delivering strong and compounding growth and returns, while growing a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day,” said Marc Ronchetti, CEO of Halma. 

“We delivered record revenue and profit, a very strong adjusted EBIT margin and returns well above our cost of capital, while making further substantial investments to support our growth over the longer term. 

“The strength and breadth of our first half performance and our current expectations for the remainder of the year support a further upgrade to our guidance.”

The strong results were powered by organic growth of 16.7%, with particularly strong momentum in Halma’s photonics business inside the Environmental & Analysis sector. 

All three divisions – safety, environmental & analysis, and healthcare – delivered higher revenue and improved margins.

The Buckinghamshire-based company delivered strong organic growth in the US, with good progress in Europe, the UK and Asia-Pacific.

It also completed two acquisitions worth £129m in the half, including Brownline, a business aligned with long-term trends such as infrastructure resilience, electrification and fibre and data network rollouts.

Halma is on track to achieve its 23rd consecutive year of record profit and the business, whose market cap is now £14bn, has seen its shares rise to 3,686p as of 9am today.
