Raffi Stepanian, CEO of Inspiration Healthcare Group plc commented: "H1 FY26 has been a pivotal period for our Group. Delivering our largest export contracts ever, while simultaneously driving underlying growth across our neonatal portfolio, demonstrates the tangible benefits of the 'back to basics' approach we implemented last year. Operationally, we have resolved key supply chain challenges, strengthened our international distribution and streamlined product lifecycles. Together all these factors are enhancing margins, reducing working capital and positioning us for sustainable growth.

"Looking ahead, our focus remains on executing against our robust order pipeline, expanding our presence in the US and Asia-Pacific markets, and delivering life-saving solutions to the most vulnerable of patients. I am confident that these actions lay the foundations for continued profitable growth in our underlying business in H2 and beyond."

Chief Executive Officer's Statement

I am pleased to report that the Group has delivered a strong first half performance with the benefit of two significant export contracts, being the Middle East contract and UNICEF, which are the largest orders we have ever received. More encouragingly, on an underlying basis excluding these two material export orders the benefits of the 'back to basics' approach adopted last year are starting to show through with a return to growth in neonatal product sales in our direct market in the UK/Ireland and through our international distributors. This is also leading to improving margins, reducing working capital and net debt.

Revenues for the period were £24.0 million, a 41% increase compared with the same period last year and ahead of expectations. This included a very strong performance in the neonatal product portfolio, boosted by the two material export contracts which was offset by an 8% decline in Infusion Therapy products and a 6% decline in Speciality ventilation.

Underlying revenues defined as revenue for the period excluding revenues from material one-off export orders from Middle East customer and UNICEF

Neonatal

Neonatal products performed strongly in the first half with revenue growth of 69% to £18.2 million on a reported basis and 8% to £11.7 million on an underlying basis excluding the two large export contracts. Capital sales performed strongly driven by the large export orders but also showed growth of 20% to £6.8 million on an underlying basis. Consumable sales also grew by 18% to £6.0 million but fell by 5% on an underlying basis due to supply chain delays which have now largely been resolved.

Sales from neonatal products in the UK/Ireland grew by 2% to £4.4 million, held back by the supply chain issues on consumables mentioned above. We have a growing pipeline of opportunities for delivery in H2, which are expected to deliver full year sales ahead of the prior year.

International sales were £13.8 million, growth of 113% over H1 FY25, boosted by the two material export orders delivered in the period. Excluding these one-off orders, underlying international sales still showed growth of 12% to £7.3 million demonstrating the benefits of increased customer engagement following the adoption of the 'back to basics' approach. We appointed a new distributor manager based in Singapore in the period in order to be closer to our customers in the Asia Pacific region and the benefits of this appointment are already being seen. Increasing international sales activity remains a key focus for the commercial team who are working to proactively manage our distributors to increase demand, and this is leading to a growing pipeline of future sales opportunities driving confidence in our outlook for H2 and into next year . This is specifically important in Europe, where we are aiming to win our fair share of the market.  

Revenues from end-of-life products (including SLE5000 and SLE1000) were £0.6 million in the period (H1 FY25: £1.6 million) a 61% decrease which constrained revenue growth. Encouragingly, and as expected, sales of the SLE6000 grew by 61% to £5.9 million on an underlying basis compensating for the decline in revenues from end-of-life products and bringing the neonatal product portfolio back to underlying growth.

The first shipment of the delayed Middle East order was delivered to the customer during H1 and payment received. We are awaiting issue of the letter of credit for the second and final shipment and this is expected to be delivered in H2. We also delivered the $6 million order with UNICEF for SLE6000 and SLE1500 ventilators and accessories in full in the period. Together these one-off orders contributed £6.5 million to revenues in the first half.

Infusion Therapies

Sales of the Infusion Therapies products declined by 8% to £4.6 million in the first half following a very strong second half last year. This was due to destocking by a major customer in the homecare segment. Last year's launch of the new range of pumps from our partner Micrel has been well received and presents an opportunity to grow revenues both in homecare but more importantly in hospital settings, where several trials are ongoing in the pain management and oncology areas, although progress has been slower than anticipated due to NHS budget pressures and long purchasing cycles. Our revenue pipeline for the Infusion products provides confidence that we will see a stronger sales performance in H2 although below the levels seen in H2 FY25.

Airon & North America strategy

Speciality ventilation product sales which consist of the Airon products declined by 6% in the first half compared to the prior year to £1.1 million. This was largely as expected given the very strong comparative period when Airon's national distributor, USME, was building its rental fleet. We are exploring additional sales channels for the Airon products and believe that there is an untapped opportunity in the emergency care market where the transport capabilities of the Airon products truly come into their own. There are also opportunities for the Airon products from the Group's international distribution partners, and we expect both of these to translate into further revenue growth for Airon in the future.

We continue to prioritise and focus on the project to develop a version of the SLE6000 ventilator for the US market which we expect to submit to the FDA later in 2026 following completion of extensive external testing covering areas such as biocompatibility, human factors and cyber security. This is expected to lead to product clearance and launch in H1 2027.

Outlook

After the successful course correction in the second half of FY25, the first half of FY26 has positioned us strongly to continue our growth trajectory with momentum, while implementing the back-to-basics actions in the various organisational, structural and procedural aspects of the Group. Beyond the two major contracts, the growth in the underlying business highlights both the opportunity and the tremendous potential of the markets we serve. Looking ahead to the second half of FY26, we have a strong order backlog and pipeline which underlines our confidence in meeting market expectations for the full year. Profitability has also improved with the increase of sales of our own capital equipment within the overall product mix.

Besides working on getting the basics right in all the functions of the Group, we continue to work towards increasing our market share of devices in more stable markets, the launch of our own consumables, as well as preparing the US market entry for our Neonatal ventilator - all geared towards increasing sales, profitability and improving working capital.

The strong H1 FY26 performance represents a key milestone, propelling us into a phase of sustained, profitable growth and moving decisively beyond the challenges of previous years. While one-off contracts have made a significant contribution to H1 FY26, I am confident we are setting the foundations for continuing the growth in the underlying business in H2 and beyond. We have strong, trusted brands in the market, with a solid portfolio of life-saving neonatal technologies and infusion products improving the quality of life for thousands of patients, in stable and consistently growing market segments.

Going forward, we will reinforce the focus on:

-      the SLE brand globally, as a leader in neonatal respiratory care. SLE is a well-known brand name with a loyal customer base, and we will ensure they get the support and product features they expect, growing our market share in existing and new geographies

-      the Inspiration Healthcare brand in the UK, as a premium distribution partner for the NHS for neonatal and infusion therapy solutions

-      the Airon brand as provider of unique pneumatic ventilators for emergency care and MRI, in US and globally

With clear positioning and goals for each brand, we will accelerate the growth of the overall Group, through maximising the opportunities for each of the three brands.

This will be driven by relentless focus on customer needs, who care for the most fragile patients, starting with the first breaths of life.

Financial Review

Revenue

Revenue for the six months to 31 July 2025 was £24.0 million (H1 FY25: £17.0 million) an increase of 41% and driven by strong sales of our neonatal products, helped by the impact of the first delivery of the Middle Eastern contract and the UNICEF contract which was fully delivered in the period.

Gross profit

Gross profit was £11.1 million, a 50% increase from the £7.4 million in H1 FY25. This equated to an improved gross margin of 46.2% (H1 FY25: 43.5%).  The margin increase resulted from the higher level of capital sales and the improved level of neonatal product sales compared to the distributed infusion products which represented 19% of revenues for the first half compared with 30% in the prior period.

Operating profit

As a result of the strong revenue performance and improved gross margin, the Group has returned to operating profitability in the first half with an operating profit of £0.2 million (H1 FY25: loss of £3.2 million).

Operating expenses excluding non-recurring items, totalled £10.9 million in the period (H1 FY25: £9.4 million) an increase of 16%. These include one-off commission payments of £1.2 million paid to local agents supporting the delivery, installation and training for the large export orders in the Middle East and with UNICEF. The Group also recorded foreign exchange losses of £0.5 million in the first half (H1 FY25: £nil) mainly because of Sterling strengthening versus US Dollar. Excluding these items, operating expenses were £9.2 million, 2% less than in the prior period.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was £1.3 million in the first half reflecting the strong operating performance (H1 FY25: loss of £0.9 million). A reconciliation of operating profit to Adjusted EBITDA is set out below:

Underlying performance

Sales in the business in any period can be unduly impacted by the lumpy nature of large international tenders and therefore due to their unpredictability from a timing perspective make year to year comparisons difficult. We therefore believe reporting the underlying numbers will help better reflect the performance of the business. The two large export orders for the Middle East customer and UNICEF have had a significant impact on the reported result for the period. On an underlying basis excluding these two deals the results also show improvement in revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA demonstrating the impact of the back-to-basics approach.

				Unaudited
				6 months
	Unaudited			ended
	6 months ended 31 July 2025			31 July
	TOTAL	One-off Exports	Underlying	2024
	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
Revenue	23,988	6,529	17,459	17,039

Gross margin	46.2%	49.0%	45.2%	43.5%

Adjusted EBITDA profit/(loss)	1,264	1,013	251	(913)

Underlying gross margin improved to 45.2% from 43.5% in the prior year as a result of an improving sales mix favouring our own products and within that, growth in capital sales. Underlying overheads have been reduced by 8% in the first half compared to H1 FY25 following the cost saving measures implemented and this combined with the margin improvement has led to a return to underlying adjusted EBITDA profit of £0.2 million (H1 FY25: £0.9 million loss).

Finance expense

Finance costs for the period were reduced by 5% compared with the prior period at £0.5 million as the reduction in net debt starts to bring down financing costs. These are expected to fall further in H2 as the average level of net debt continues to decline.

Loss before tax

Loss before tax is reduced to £0.3 million (H1 FY25: £3.7 million) following the return to operating profit in the period, and loss per share falls to 0.29p (H1 FY25: 5.46p).

Balance sheet and net assets

Intangible assets increased by £0.7 million, net of amortisation, as we capitalised R&D expenses of £1.0 million in the first half, the majority of these costs being associated with the preparation of the US variant of the SLE 6000 for the US market.

Inventories continued to reduce, declining by £2.1 million in the first half to £11.0 million as the steps taken to improve inventory management in the prior year continued to have an impact, and accelerated by the impact of the large capital sales made in the period. We expect to see further inventory reduction in the second half and into next year as we continue the process of normalising inventory levels.

Trade and other receivables were reduced by £2.4 million in the period to £9.0 million as revenues were more evenly spread throughout the half and receivables from last year were settled. Other receivables were reduced through the receipt of R&D tax credits of £0.7 million. Trade and other payables also fell by £1.7 million to £6.5 million, this included settlement of the contingent consideration for the acquisition of Airon Corporation following the end of the earn out period in April 2025. With revenue targets comfortably exceeded for the target period, the full contingent consideration of $1.0 million was paid in the period.

Overall net assets declined by £0.2 million in the period, standing at £16.4 million at 31 July.

Cash flow and net debt

Cash generated from operations was £3.6 million in the first half, a significant turn round from the cash outflow of £2.3 million in the same period last year. This resulted from the EBITDA profit, reduction in working capital (especially inventories) and receipt of R&D tax credits of £0.7 million.

As a result of the strong cash generation in the period, net debt (excluding IFRS16 lease liabilities) fell to £6.7 million at 31 July from £8.3 million at 31 January and is expected to continue to fall in the second half.

The Group repaid £0.7 million of the Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF') in the first half and reduced drawings from the invoice discounting facility by £1.1 million. At 31 July £6.3 million of the RCF and £1.0 million of the invoice discounting facility were being utilised. As a result of the reduction in net debt and improved EBITDA generation, the cap on drawings from the RCF has now been lifted by the Group's lender meaning that the Group has access to the full £10.0 million under the RCF, providing that leverage is forecast to remain below 3.0x. The Group has no current intention to make further use of the RCF facility and has repaid a further £1.2 million since the end of the period.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 July 2025

1.          Basis of Preparation

This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2025 have been prepared in accordance with AIM rule 18 in relation to half year reports. This information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

2.          Going concern basis

The Group relies on a combination of cash generated from operations and borrowing facilities from external lenders to finance its ongoing operations. The Group has access to a revolving credit facility ('RCF') of £10.0 million and an invoice finance facility of up to £5.0 million. The RCF facility contains certain customary financial covenants relating to the Group.

The Directors have considered financial projections for the next 18 months covering several scenarios, these include a significant (10%) revenue downside versus the budget for the period. These projections demonstrate that the Group can operate within the facilities available to it and meet the relevant covenant targets for the foreseeable future. The Directors, after taking into account the available facilities, its trading projections including working capital requirements believe that they have a reasonable basis for concluding that the Group has adequate liquidity to continue as a going concern and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be required if they were prepared on a basis other than the going concern basis.

3.          Interim financial information

The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2025 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2024 is also unaudited. The audited accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025 for Inspiration Healthcare Group plc were approved by its Board of Directors on 5 June 2025 and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies with an unqualified audit report.

The Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2025 were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The standards used are those published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the EU at the time of preparing those statements.

4.             Non-recurring items

Non-recurring items are items which, given their nature, management believes should be disclosed separately for the purposes of presenting the results of the Group and the earnings per share figures.

During the six months ended 31 July 2025, the Group recognised £17,000 of non-recurring costs (2025: £12,802,000):

An exceptional credit was recognised in the current period of £74,000 relating to the foreign exchange movement on the contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Airon Corporation, which was settled in June 2025.

In the six-month period ended 31 July 2025, the Group recognised restructuring costs of £45,000 (FY25: £1,584,000), which related to redundancy costs and legal fees associated with the exit of vacated premises in Croydon. In the year ended 31 January 2025, the restructuring costs also included payments to directors for loss of office, expenses associated with the recruitment of the new CEO and dilapidation provisions associated with the exit of vacated premised in Hailsham and Croydon.

5.                     Loss per ordinary share

Basic loss per share for the period is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year after tax by the weighted average number of shares in issue.

Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares. No diluted loss per share is presented for the period ended 31 July 2025 as the exercise of share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and is therefore not dilutive.
