Executive summary
Strategic progress achieved through operational simplification, commercial execution, and regional realignment, despite significant Q1 disruption from tariffs and US academic funding cuts; order momentum recovered in Q2.

Imaging & Analysis faced Q1 order and revenue drop due to tariffs and funding cuts, but Q2 saw stabilization and cost restructuring.
Sale of NanoScience business progressing, with proceeds expected in H2/Q3 to strengthen balance sheet and focus on higher-margin segments.
Share buyback program extended by £50m to £100m, with £32m completed by 31 October, reflecting confidence in financial position.

Full-year adjusted operating profit anticipated broadly in line with prior year on OCC basis, with a reported decline of 6–9% due to FX headwinds.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
