  • Today, we’re proud to share our 2025 Full Year Results. Two years ago, we set out to reshape Avon. We’re now a stronger business, with more growth opportunities than ever before, and the numbers speak for themselves: 📈 FY25 highlights • Revenue up 14% • Operating profit up 31% • Record order book of $263m up 16% Behind these results is a relentless focus on continuous improvement. We’ve reimagined how we work, improving production efficiency, reducing scrap, and increasing capacity across our global footprint. We’ve launched world-leading products and technologies, and partnered on a record number of development programmes, strengthening our competitive edge and building excitement across our customer base. And we’re not stopping here. We’re on track to exceed our revenue targets and achieve our margin goals in 2026 with confidence in our ability to deliver sustained growth and improved returns over the long term. Over four million service personnel, law enforcement and first responders rely on our mission-critical protection every day and none of this would be possible without our exceptional team. Thank you to everyone who made these results happen. 🎥 Hear more from our CEO Jos Sclater and CFO Richard Cashin in the video below, or read the release on our website: https://lnkd.in/eTssKcjt Avon Protection Team Wendy #ProtectingLives
