Kainos Group plc has reported revenue growth in its latest half-year results – but profits dropped.

For the six months ended 30th September 2025, the Belfast firm – listed in London – said revenue increased 7% to £196.1 million, but adjusted pre-tax profit declined by 16% to £32m.

The software firm has a focus on public sector digitisation, healthcare digitisation and solutions for Workday – an AI platform for finance and HR management.

It said the drop in profits was “in part due to a full period of investment to support our Workday partnership, increased National Insurance costs and the use of contractors and third-party suppliers to provide short-term delivery capacity”.

The board also announced its intention to launch a further share buyback programme of £30m, to be executed over a period of six months.
