Castings ( (GB:CGS) ) has shared an announcement.

Castings PLC has announced a trading update for the year ending March 31, 2025, indicating a drop in demand for heavy trucks, which make up 75% of its revenue, leading to lower than expected profitability. The company also faced increased power costs due to unused electricity volumes and incurred start-up costs from a new business in Scunthorpe. However, improvements are anticipated with the Scunthorpe business expected to turn profitable and increased sales orders from major customers likely to boost sales volumes in the next financial year. The company’s balance sheet remains strong despite significant investments and dividends.
