Financial performance
|
|
Revenue declined 4.6% to £16.6m, reflecting the weak UK film and HETV production market where overall production spends declined 15.6% in the same period. |
|
|
Location One and Autotrak both delivered year-on-year growth, demonstrating the resilience of the Group's diversified business model and exposure to broader markets. |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA decreased from £2.2m to £1.7m, primarily due to the shortfall in revenue and operational deleverage. |
|
|
Net debt rose to £14.5m (H1 FY25: £13.2m), reflecting a deferred consideration payment for the Autotrak acquisition and the timing of cash flows. |
Operational highlights
|
|
The Group supported 117 high profile productions during the period, including Rivals, Black Doves, Peaky Blinders, Slow Horses, Unforgotten, The Diplomat, Gangs of London, Supacell and Buccaneers, supported by the quality of the Group’s fleet, people and long-standing customer relationships. |
|
|
Net Promoter Score of 89 (H1 2025: 87) underscoring the Group's sustained focus on customer satisfaction and loyalty as a core driver of long-term value. |
|
|
New Group-level sales structure launched, unifying business development across the three operating entities to capture cross-selling opportunities and drive additional revenue. |
|
|
Productions worked on across two companies has increased to 38% vs. 24% in H1 FY25, and 10% of production vs. 9% for three companies. |
|
|
Greater integration across the Group, driving efficiencies through shared locations and stronger use of combined assets and capabilities. |
Outlook
|
|
Management expects an H2 weighting to FY26, aligned with prior years. |
|
|
The lower than anticipated H1 performance and the current shape of the Q4 pipeline mean that management now expects full year results to be below current market expectations. |
|
|
The new management team has established a clear medium-term strategic plan to provide a roadmap for sustainable growth and shareholder value creation. |
|
|
The Group has initiated further efficiencies in H2 FY26 which are expected to deliver material cost savings over the medium term. |
|
|
Current indications are that market sentiment for 2027 is improving; the order book and weighted pipeline as at 7th September 2026 for FY27 is4.5% ahead of the equivalent position for FY26 at the same point last year. |
Commenting, CEO Nicola Pearcey, said:
"My first six months at ADF have highlighted the strength of our people, customer relationships, and leading market position. While trading conditions across the film and TV industry have remained challenging, the business has delivered growth in Location One and Autotrak, underlining the resilience of our increasingly diversified model.ADF's core business is extending its reach beyond its traditional client base - a shift that will take time, given the Company’s heritage. The steps we are taking to integrate the businesses, sharpen our impact and drive growth are already bearing fruit, with our combined order book and pipeline for FY27 ahead of the prior year. This gives us confidence in our future positioning. We remain focused on operational discipline and efficiency, alongside a clear plan for growth."

Chairman’s Statement
The first half of 2026 has been a challenging period for the UK film and high-end television industry, with lower production spend and hence a more competitive environment. Against this backdrop, and continued geopolitical uncertainty, the Group’s performance has been resilient. Location One and Autotrak both delivered year-on-year growth, providing further evidence of the benefits of our increasingly integrated business model.
The Group has entered an important period of change. During the first half year we welcomed Nicola Pearcey as CEO in January and Will Worsdell as CFO in March. Along with our existing COO, James Long, the leadership team has assessed the businesses in depth and established clear priorities for the next phase. These include identifying new growth markets for our services, simplifying and integrating our three businesses more closely, improving operational efficiency and asset utilisation, and allocating capital more selectively. The Board expects these measures to enhance the Group’s performance and resilience over the medium term.
We have important competitive advantages in a market where customers are increasingly focused on value, reliability, flexibility and quality of service. I remain impressed by the quality and commitment of our people, the strength and longevity of our customer relationships, our sustainability credentials and the quality and breadth of the Group's assets and capabilities.These are all reflected in the Group’s market leading NPS score of 89 and position us well for future growth.
I have been impressed by the speed at which the new Executive team have identified the challenges and opportunities facing the business and taken action to address these. Whilst the team are working tirelessly to improve performance, the Board recognises that the recent management changes and ongoing market backdrop will constrain the current year operational and financial performance, despite the underlying strengths of the business.
I would like to thank all my colleagues for their continued hard work and commitment, and our customers for their ongoing support.
Russell Down
Chair of the Board
CEO Review
Overview
Six months into the role, I have spent time visiting our different bases, meeting with production teams and colleagues on site and have heard directly from customers. Three things are clear to me:
First, the quality of the operation. Our fleet and our people are the reason ADF is a leading provider of premium serviced production facilities to the UK film and high-end television industry, and the reason customers continue to return to us production after production. During H1 FY26 we supported 117 high profile productions, including Rivals, Black Doves, Peaky Blinders, Slow Horses, Unforgotten, The Diplomat, Gangs of London, Supacell and Buccaneers. Location One and Autotrak further supported a wider range of productions also demonstrating the scope for growth across the Group.
Second, the strength of our customer relationships. Customers often choose their facilities partner based on trust built over many years and across multiple productions. Those relationships have been earned through consistently delivering a reliable, high-quality service, and they represent one of the Group's greatest strengths. These are not easily replicated and represent a strong platform from which to grow. Our client base includes many of the UK's and the world's leading studios and streaming platforms, including Netflix, Apple, Amazon MGM, NBC Universal, Sky, Disney, BBC, ITV, Channel 5, HBO Max, Channel 4, Sony, A24, Warner Bros. & Paramount.
Thirdly, the opportunity that lies ahead. We have three highly complementary businesses, ADF, Location One and Autotrak, each with strong capabilities, talented people and established customer relationships. Together, they have the potential to offer customers a broader, more integrated service than any of them could alone. This positions the Group as a genuine one-stop shop for production services, with early revenue synergies already emerging as clients draw on facilities, location and ground protection services across the Group on the same production.
Realising that opportunity means ensuring we operate as one Group. Simplifying how we work, making the best use of our combined assets and presenting a more joined-up proposition to customers. This includes building on our existing base of hubs, strategically located to serve all of the UK's major studios. It also means aligning our cost base and operational footprint with the market as it is today, while creating a business that is more efficient, more agile and better positioned for future growth.
The actions we are taking are designed not simply to improve efficiency, but to build a stronger, more integrated Group that is well positioned to create long-term value for our shareholders, customers and teams alike.
Performance in the period
Group revenue for H1 FY26 was £16.6m (H1 FY25: £17.4m), with adjusted EBITDA of £1.7m (H1 FY25: £2.2m). These results reflect the conditions in our core ADF business, where customers remain cost-conscious in a competitive environment. Given the fixed-cost nature of much of our operational infrastructure, this has had a greater impact on margins than on revenue. The actions we are taking across the Group are designed to improve efficiency, better align our cost base and position the business to deliver stronger returns as market conditions improve.
Performance across the Group, however, demonstrates the benefits of our diversified business model. Location One, the UK's largest TV and film location service provider, increased revenue to £3.3m (H1 FY25: £3.1m), driven by diversification. Likewise, Autotrak delivered revenue of £3.9m (H1 FY25: £3.5m), providing resilience and reinforcing the strategic rationale for the acquisition. Revenue in the core ADF business was £9.4m (H1 FY25: £10.8m), reflecting the conditions in film and HETV production spend in the period. Opportunities lie in diversification, coupled with an expected surge in productions running into 2027.
While trading conditions remain mixed across our end markets, the quality of our customer relationships, the breadth of the Group's capabilities and the actions we are taking to simplify the business and strengthen operational performance, give us confidence that we are well positioned to benefit as production activity continues to recover.
Seasonality
FY26 seems reflective of FY25 in terms of the weighting towards H2, with production activity more heavily weighted towards the second half of the financial year. Management currently expect a similar weighting to FY27. As at 7th September 2026, the combined orderbook and pipeline for FY27 was 4.5% ahead of the prior year.
Cost actions and capital discipline
We have taken decisive action to simplify the Group, improve efficiency and align our cost base more closely with current market conditions. These measures are intended to protect near-term profitability while creating a more agile business with a stronger platform for sustainable growth.
The programme includes optimising our operational footprint to strengthen regional impact, integrating activities across the Group, streamlining support functions and improving the utilisation of our fleet and wider asset base.
We are also taking a disciplined approach to fleet investment. During H1, we disposed of a portion of the fleet that was under-utilised or no longer aligned with customer requirements, generating a small profit on disposal. We will continue to review the fleet to ensure capital is deployed effectively, while maintaining a modern, high-quality fleet aligned with customer demand.
As the fleet is already modern, we expect core fleet investment to be lower than recent years over the medium term. This will enable us to increase utilisation and revenue from a largely fixed cost base, supporting greater operational leverage and stronger free cash flow generation.
Where we are taking the Group
Our ambition is to build a stronger, more focused Group that maximises our capabilities, strengthens customer relationships and unlocks new opportunities for sustainable growth. To support this ambition, the Group is exploring opportunities to enter new end markets and increase the utilisation of our existing assets.
Our growth agenda will focus on areas where we see the greatest potential for the Group and where our existing assets, capabilities and expertise provide a strong platform for success.
Outlook
The decline in industry-wide production spend in H1 reflects, in part, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and the resulting economic and inflationary pressures on production budgets; while these pressures have not yet fully abated, our order book and pipeline gives us confidence in an improving H2.
The new management team has established a clear medium-term strategic plan to provide a roadmap for sustainable growth and shareholder value creation. However, the lower than anticipated H1 performance and the current shape of the Q4 pipeline mean that management now expects full year results to be below current market expectations.
The Group enters the second half of FY26 with improved visibility over future activity. The order book and weighted pipeline as at 7th September 2026 for FY27 is4.5% ahead of the equivalent position for FY26 at the same point last year, providing a solid foundation for the future.
Over the medium term, we continue to see structural growth drivers for the UK Film and HETV sector, including sustained investment by global streaming platforms and continued studio expansion across the UK's production hubs.

H1 FY26
Revenue
Production spend across the UK Film and High-End Television ("HETV") market was down 15.6% in H1 versus the prior year, as reported by the BFI in August 2026. Against this backdrop, the Group outperformed this benchmark. Revenues in the core ADF business were down 13.4% on the prior year, whilst revenues in Location One and Autotrak were up 6.7% and 13.7%, respectively. ADF is has the most exposure to the Film and HETV sector in the Group and therefore has been the most impacted by the decline in overall production spend.
As in the prior year, management expects a strong H2 weighting to FY26 across revenue, profitability and cash generation, reflecting the phasing of productions and a strong half year end order book.Gross Margin
The Group’s Gross Margin fell from 33% in H1 FY25 to 29% in H1 FY26. Direct Costs increased from £11.6m to £11.8m over the same period, with the principal driver of margin dilution being higher people costs, driven by rises in the National Living Wage, largely offset the reduction in costs associated with lower revenues.
Fuel was the other key contributor to the increase in Direct Costs, reflecting higher wholesale oil prices following geopolitical instability in the Middle East. The Group has mitigated some of this increase through the forward purchase of fuel at fixed rates. Importantly, the increase in fuel costs is not margin dilutive, as the majority of these additional costs are passed through to customers.
Management recognises that a significant proportion of the Group’s Cost of Sales are fixed, meaning that reductions in revenue are particularly margin dilutive. Management have therefore reviewed the cost base and identified further synergies and cost-saving opportunities across the Group. These actions will reduce the impact of future revenue variability on gross margin.
Admin Expenses
Admin expenses decreased from £3.6m in the prior year to £3.1m in the current year, reflecting the full year impact of restructuring undertaken in H2 FY25, as well as continued strong cost control across the Group.
Depreciation and Amortisation
Depreciation and amortisation increased from £3.2m in H1 FY25 to £3.8m in H1 FY26. Following a review in H2 2025, the useful economic lives of certain assets were shortened to better reflect their expected period of use by the Group. This will ensure that the carrying value of fleet assets is appropriately aligned with expected disposal proceeds, reducing the risk of losses arising on disposal and future P&L volatility. The Group has disposed of a small part of the fleet in H1 2026 and, as a result of the measures noted above, has generated a profit on disposal.
Finance Expenses
Finance expenses decreased from £0.8m in H1 FY25 to £0.7m in H1 FY26, primarily reflecting lower hire purchase (“HP”) interest following reduced fleet renewal activity and the extension of HP terms by two years on certain assets. The latter better aligns the financing period with the assets’ useful economic lives and provides an in-year phasing benefit to interest costs. These benefits were partially offset by interest and commitment fees on the Group’s new Revolving Credit Facility with HSBC.
Exceptional Items
The Group incurred non-recurring administrative costs of £0.3m, which relate primarily to restructuring. Exceptional finance expenses of £0.2m relate primarily to the unwinding of contingent consideration relating to the acquisition of Autotrak Portable Roadways Limited.
Loss Before Tax
The loss before tax for H1 2026 was £3.3m (H1 2025: loss of £2.0m).
EBITDA
The Group measures performance based on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be useful measures of operating performance; EBITDA approximates the underlying operating cash flow by eliminating depreciation and amortisation. Adjusted EBITDA adds back any non-recurring expenses, impairment of assets, gains or losses on deferred consideration, and any acquisition related fees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not direct measures of our liquidity, which is shown by our cash flow statement, and need to be considered in the context of our financial commitments.
Adjusted EBITDA for H1 FY26 was £1.7m compared to £2.2m in H1 FY25.

Uplift % is an important metric being the increase in total facilities sales from the initial main packages. This increased to 57% in H1 FY26 from 55% in H1 2025. This was driven predominantly by increases to labour rates and fuel costs in the intervening period.
Revenue Mix
The Group worked on 117 productions in H1 FY26 (H1 FY25: 128). The average value of productions in H1 FY26 was £142k compared to £135k in the same period in FY25 with the mix of different productions undertaken over the period.
Share Based Payments
Share-based payments in H1 FY26 related to options granted to certain executive directors in Facilities by ADF Plc and Location One Limited in December 2025.
Dividends
The Board declared an interim dividend of 0.3 pence per share in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2025, which amounted to £0.3m, and was paid to shareholders in January 2026.
The Board did not recommend the payment of a final dividend in relation to the year ended 31 December 2025 and additionally is not recommending the payment of an interim dividend in relation to the six months ended 30 June 2026.
The Board believes that prioritising capital towards maintaining a prudent balance sheet and sufficient covenant headroom - as well as investing in the Group’s highest-return growth opportunities - will deliver greater long-term returns for shareholders than distributing capital by way of dividends at the present time. The Board will keep this policy under regular review.
Capital Expenditure & Disposals
Capital expenditure during H1 FY26 was limited, with total additions of £0.3m. The single largest item was an Executive Single Artiste Trailer (“ESAT”) for the feature film market, which was delivered to the Group in June.
The Group disposed of several assets during the period, including 6 vehicles in the core ADF business. Total proceeds were £0.2m, with a profit on disposal of £0.1m.
Cash Flow, Funding & Net Debt
In April 2026, the Group put in place a £5.0m, 3-year, Revolving Credit Facility with HSBC, replacing the Group's £1m overdraft facility.Under the terms of this facility the Group will be required to meet quarterly covenant tests in respect of leverage and an annual covenant test in respect of interest cover.The facility is expected to provide sufficient headroom for the Group to meet working capital and organic growth requirements.
In addition, in February 2026, a further £0.7m of existing assets were placed onto a new 5-year hire purchase agreement, and certain existing hire purchase agreements were extended from 5 to 7 years, resulting in an annualised cash flow benefit of c.£0.8m.
In May 2026, a payment of £0.8m was made to the former owners of Autotrak Portable Roadways Ltd in respect of deferred consideration. The business continues to perform in line with the Board’s expectations.
As previously mentioned, management expects a strong H2 weighting to revenue, profitability and cash generation, consistent with FY25. Given the relatively fixed nature of the cost base across the year, this creates a greater working capital requirement in H1. Accordingly, the Group drew net £3.0m on its Revolving Credit Facility during H1 2026 to maintain prudent cash reserves, with £1.9m of cash at bank at period end.
Net Debt, excluding IFRS 16 leases, was £14.5m at H1 FY26, compared with £13.2m in H1 FY25. The increase primarily reflects additional RCF debt and borrowings relating to refinanced assets, partly offset by a reduction in hire purchase liabilities.
As a result of increasing operating cash flow, the Group expects Net Debt to decrease in H2 FY26.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2026
Facilities by ADF Plc (the "Company") is a public company limited by shares, incorporated, domiciled and registered in England and Wales in the UK. The registered number is 13761460 and the registered address is Ground Floor, 31 Oldfield Road, Bocam Park, Pencoed, Bridgend, United Kingdom, CF35 5LJ.
The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") continues to be the supply of equipment for television and film productions.
The unaudited interim financial information presents the financial results of the Group for the six-month period to 30 June 2026. This financial information has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and are presented on a condensed basis. All values are rounded to the nearest million except where otherwise indicated.
The financial information presented in this interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2026 does not constitute statutory accounts, within the meaning of section 434 of Companies Act 2006. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.
The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditor’s Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statement ended 31 December 2025 was Unqualified.
The accounting policies are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2025,which are filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors consider appropriate for the reasons set out below.
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts covering the 12-month period from the date of approval of these interim financial statements. These forecasts indicate that the Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
On 7 April 2026, the Group entered into a new £5.0 million revolving credit facility ("RCF") with HSBC UK Bank plc. The RCF has a three-year term and replaces the Group's previous £1.0 million overdraft facility, providing enhanced headroom to support working capital requirements given the Group's relatively fixed cost base and seasonal cash generation profile. The RCF is subject to financial covenants based on leverage and interest cover.
The Directors have also considered the ongoing impact of current macro-economic factors on the Group's forecast cash flows and liabilities and have concluded that these do not present a material risk to the Group, given the long-term nature of its operations.
The current sales pipeline is robust, with strong visibility over returning seasons for a number of the Group's largest productions, underpinning confidence in near-term revenue generation.
The Directors remain focused on returning the Group to the organic growth delivered in prior years and expect further synergies from previous acquisitions to be realised over the coming 12 months.
The preparation of the interim financial information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement and use assumptions in applying the Group’s accounting policies. The resulting accounting estimates calculated using these judgements and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results but are based on historical experience and expectations of future events. Management believe that the estimates utilised in preparing the interim financial information are reasonable and prudent.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2025which are filed with the Registrar of Companies.

The calculation of the basic earnings per share (‘‘EPS’’) is based on the results attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. Diluted EPS includes the impact of outstanding share options. The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same given the loss in each period, making the outstanding share options and warrants anti-dilutive.

Capital and financial commitments
The Group commits to lease agreements in respect of hire facilities over six months in advance due to the nature of the facilities leased.
As at 30 June 2026 the Group was committed to new fleet capital expenditure orders of £0.4 million for the remainder of the year.
On 7 April 2026, the Group entered into a new £5.0 million revolving credit facility ("RCF") with HSBC UK Bank plc. The RCF has a three-year term and replaces the Group's previous £1.0 million overdraft facility, providing enhanced headroom to support working capital requirements given the Group's relatively fixed cost base and seasonal cash generation profile. The RCF is subject to financial covenants based on leverage and interest cover.
The Group held no other additional capital, financial and or other commitments as at 30 June 2026.
