An announcement from De La Rue ( (GB:DLAR) ) is now available.

De La Rue plc announced its half-year results for 2024/25, reporting an adjusted operating profit of £7.3 million, slightly down from £7.9 million in the previous year, but ahead of its low single-digit guidance. The company’s currency division saw orders increase significantly, particularly polymer orders, leading to a robust order book of £338 million, the highest in five years. De La Rue also plans to sell its Authentication business to Crane NXT for £300 million, which will help improve its financial position by repaying debt and reducing pension deficits. The company expects continued growth, driven by its strong currency order book and financial gains from the Authentication sale.
