CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REVIEW
Introduction
We have delivered a much-improved performance in the first half
with further good revenue growth. Constant currency revenue
increased by 12 per cent in the half. As expected, order intake has
started to normalise, but has still broadly tracked our revenue
growth in the first half. Our visibility covers our anticipated
2023 revenues and extends into 2024, reflecting both our success
with customers and the structural growth in the end markets in
which we operate. Our visibility remains materially ahead of
pre-COVID levels.
Our Power and Connectivity (P&C) division has, as expected,
delivered a much improved first half performance and is firmly on
track back to double digit margins. Global Manufacturing Solutions
(GMS) is a business fully transformed and has continued to build on
the significant momentum of 2022. Sensors and Specialist Components
(S&SC) delivered a robust performance against an exceptionally
strong comparator. We have a clear line of sight to deliver a good
second half performance across all divisions as we continue to
execute on our order book.
Demand from our customers remains robust as our focus on
building close, long-term relationships further up the value chain
and collaborating on design-led solutions often leads to us being
designed in for the life of the product. This is evidenced by new
business, with 15 significant new wins in the half delivering over
GBP150 million of potential lifetime revenues and further key
customer growth from pipeline opportunities.
We believe our collaborative approach to deliver solutions based
on our technical expertise has been a key factor in winning new
orders. We are focused on leveraging expertise across the Group to
pursue cross selling opportunities. Furthermore, we believe we are
well placed, with locations in the United States, Mexico and
Malaysia to collaborate with our customers on their re-shoring
activities.
We have always believed strongly that high levels of employee
engagement would enable excellent execution of strategy. We are
delighted to have attained a 2023 employee engagement score in line
with the three star "world class companies to work for" Best
Companies Ltd benchmark.
With the spend on our self-help programme now complete, our
focus turns to achieving further efficiencies from process
improvements, including benefits from the consolidation of the
Covina site into the Torotel site at Kansas City. Our facility in
Plano, Texas completed the qualification of its high-volume
products in late 2022 and is now focused on delivering operational
efficiencies.
Plans are well advanced for the move of the Ferranti Power and
Control (Ferranti) business into a new facility in Greater
Manchester which is expected in the second half. Following the
success of GMS' expansion into Malaysia, we are now following the
same, low capital intensity model and establishing GMS capabilities
within our existing facility in Mexicali, Mexico from where we
expect to be able to commence customer deliveries in H1 2024.
Results and operations
Group revenue for the period was GBP309.1 million, up 12 per
cent on a constant currency basis. The Group's adjusted operating
profit for the period was GBP25.6 million, 34 per cent higher than
the prior period on a constant currency basis.
Our results in the first half reflect good revenue growth across
all our businesses, complemented by the incremental benefits of our
self-help programme. Cost inflation continues to be largely
mitigated through price increases.
The adjusted operating margin in the first half was 8.3 per cent
(H1 2022: 6.8 per cent), up 140 basis points on a constant currency
basis, and we expect to deliver further margin improvement in the
second half. After the impact of adjusting items, including
restructuring and acquisition related costs, the Group's half year
statutory operating profit was GBP20.9 million (H1 2022: GBP8.9
million) and operating margin was 6.8 per cent (H1 2022: 3.3 per
cent).
Cash conversion was significantly ahead of prior year at 74 per
cent (H1 2022: minus 55 per cent) even with a modest working
capital outflow of GBP6.9 million (H1 2022: GBP33.0 million
outflow), reflecting normal H1 seasonality. Free cash flow has
reached an inflection point, with an inflow of GBP6.9 million in
the period (H1 2022: GBP23.5 million outflow). Adjusted operating
cash inflow post capital expenditure during the period was GBP19.0
million (H1 2022: GBP10.0 million outflow). On a statutory basis,
cash flow from operating activity was an inflow of GBP24.4 million
(H1 2022: GBP12.3 million outflow).
Following the buy-in of the UK defined benefit scheme in
November 2022, the scheme is de-risked and had a surplus of GBP29.2
million at 30 June 2023. The scheme liabilities are now matched by
the buy-in insurance policy. The surplus in excess of these
liabilities is largely invested in short-term money market funds.
No contributions were made to the scheme in the period (H1 2022:
GBPnil). The net surplus across all schemes was GBP26.3 million (H1
2022: GBP91.6 million).
At 30 June 2023 net debt was GBP138.8 million, (31 December
2022: GBP138.4 million), including IFRS 16 lease liabilities of
GBP20.2 million (31 December 2022: GBP23.1 million), and as
previously indicated leverage reduced to 1.8x (31 December 2022:
2.0x). We expect leverage to reduce further by December 2023.
Momentum across the Group remains good with the order book for
2023 covering expected revenues and we now have good visibility of
revenues for 2024. As pass-through revenues reduce on a comparative
basis in the second half of 2023 and more significantly in 2024,
this will create a headwind to headline organic growth, but on an
underlying basis the Group is well positioned to deliver growth in
2023 and beyond.
Dividend
The performance in the first half and size of our order book
strengthens our confidence in our expectations for the full year
and the Group's future prospects. As a result, the Board is
declaring an interim dividend of 2.15 pence per share, an increase
of 8 per cent. The total cost of this dividend will be
approximately GBP3.8 million. Payment of the dividend will be made
on 12 October 2023, to shareholders on the register at 15 September
2023.
OUR STRATEGY
Creating value through technology investment
We prioritise organic investment in the business, investing in
R&D and capital equipment to drive differentiation in our offer
to customers, resulting in us becoming firmly embedded as valued
partners. This expenditure totalled GBP22.7 million in 2022 and in
the first half of 2023 we invested GBP15.3 million, including
GBP6.0 million (H1 2022: GBP5.4 million) in R&D spend,
representing 3.8 per cent (H1 2022: 4.0 per cent) of the aggregate
revenue of our product businesses.
Our focus on R&D and investment in equipment and facilities
has been integral to our dialogue with our customers. This has
resulted in us becoming firmly embedded with them, enabling us to
stay ahead of their needs and meet the challenges they set us.
Evidence of the value customers place on this can be seen in our
organic sales growth.
In the second half of 2023 we will relocate our acquired
Ferranti business to a new flagship Power Solutions facility in
Greater Manchester. We are also expanding our GMS offering in
existing TT facilities. This started in 2020 with Kuantan, Malaysia
and we are now adopting the same low capital intensity approach in
Mexicali, Mexico to support growth programmes for our customers and
to enable their re-shoring priorities .
Creating value through margin enhancement
We are focused on activities which will enable the Group
consistently to achieve double-digit operating margins. The
operational leverage on organic revenue growth and the results of
our restructuring and footprint rationalisation will also
contribute to further margin improvement.
We have increased Group margins in the first half of 2023 by 140
basis points (on a constant currency basis) to 8.3 per cent (H1
2022: 6.8 per cent) as our Power and Connectivity business
delivered a much-improved performance and we remain focused on
continued margin growth in the second half. Margins are currently
being impacted by pass-through revenue, primarily in our GMS
division, which inflates revenue with no profit benefit.
Pass-through revenues in the first half were approximately GBP12
million (H1 2022: c. GBP10 million) and are expected to gradually
reduce by the end of 2024. Excluding pass through revenues,
adjusted operating margins would have been 8.6% (H1 2022:
7.1%).
We remain focused on continuing to enhance our margins, in part
through operational leverage from revenue growth , our focus on
costs and pricing discipline and the continued benefits of our
strategic repositioning to build closer, more embedded customer
relationships. Delivery of our 10 per cent adjusted operating
margin milestone is within reach.
Creating value from mergers and acquisitions
M&A remains an important part of our growth proposition as
we look to add higher margin businesses that enhance TT's
capability in our key markets. While leverage has reduced and is
expected to continue to fall, our near-term focus is on free cash
flow generation and leverage reduction to generate capacity for
M&A . We continue to monitor an active pipeline of
opportunities.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG)
Not only do we design, develop, and manufacture products that
enable reduced environmental impacts for our customers, but we are
also optimising our own operations to reduce our impact on the
environment.
We have made great progress in reducing our carbon emissions to
achieve our target to be Net Zero by 2035, for our Scope 1 & 2
emissions. In 2022 we delivered a 54 per cent reduction in our
Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions from our baseline set in 2019,
achieving our short-term target of delivering a 50 per cent
reduction a year ahead of plan. Earlier this year we commissioned
our first solar project at our site in Kuantan, Malaysia. Further
reductions in our carbon emissions will require additional such
investment in solar power, acquiring alternative sources of
renewable power within deregulated markets and progress in the
supply of renewables in regulated Asian markets.
For our Scope 3 emissions we have commenced measurement and
internal reporting of the six most relevant/measurable
categories.
Employee engagement
We're delighted to have delivered a 2023 employee engagement
score in line with the three star "world class companies to work
for" Best Companies Ltd benchmark. The three star rating is the
highest level achievable and demonstrates a year-on-year
improvement on our two star (outstanding) rating in 2021 and one
star (very good) result in 2020. Focus was directed on
participation in 2023, encouraging our employees to have their say
and make their voice heard, concluding with a record high of 91% of
employees globally completing the survey, up from 86% in both 2021
and 2020.

Revenue inc reased by GBP11.1 million to GBP79.9 million ( H1
2022 : GBP 68.8 million) . O rganic revenue was 13 per cent higher
against a comparative period which was impacted by the timing of
programme revenues and the closure and transfer of production from
the Lutterworth facility.
Adjusted operating profit increased by GBP 3.8 million to GBP5.9
million ( H1 2022 : GBP 2.1 million) given healthy levels of
operational leverage on the organic growth and benefits from the
self-help programme. Adjusted operating margin more than doubled to
7.4 per cent ( H1 2022 : 3.1 per cent). There was a GBP0.1 million
foreign exchange benefit.
Overall order intake remains good and revenues from commercial
aerospace are recovering. As we look into the second half, we
expect a further step-up in margin performance.
Contract awards and growth drivers during the period, giving us
confidence as we look forward, include:
-- Within our healthcare end market, we have secured two major
manufacturing wins in the period with total annual revenues of
cGBP4.5 million for a top tier medtech company for high voltage
transformers for use in surgical navigation and for implantables.
We have also won ten new development wins including two new
clinical applications in the surgical navigation space.
-- Our Abercynon team has successfully secured work for a new
customer to develop a custom connector solution incorporated in our
manufactured cable assemblies for the Jubilee Line on the London
Underground.
-- In aerospace and defence, we have won work with a world leader in in-flight entertainment and communications solutions for its latest on-the-ground technology Astrova, designed initially for installation on the 737 and A321 platforms. We will be providing inductors and transformers for the system.
-- Our work on the Boxer programme (the main UK army vehicle
programme) continues to expand with significant recent additional
contract wins. This expands our position on the programme which
includes a cross sell of our expertise into GMS to design and
manufacture printed circuit board assemblies. These are complex,
high reliability power electronics assemblies and we will lead the
design, production and delivery of the battery control and command
display units providing signalling and communications functionality
on every Boxer vehicle.
-- We have recently been awarded a contract supporting
feasibility studies relating to the technology development on the
BAE Tempest programme. Harnessing our extensive engineering
expertise, we will develop electrical power solutions in support of
this crucial next generation combat air platform. Team Tempest is
composed of the UK Ministry of Defence and industry partners BAE
Systems, Rolls-Royce, Leonardo UK, and MBDA, which are all working
together to deliver world firsts in advanced technical
capabilities.

Revenue grew by GBP18.5 million to GBP153.8 million (H1 2022:
GBP135.3 million). We have delivered organic growth of 12 per cent,
reflecting partnerships with our key long term relationship
customers and recent project wins. Pass-through revenue was around
GBP12 million in the first half, around GBP2 million higher than in
the first half of last year; this continues to create a technical
head wind to margin progression.
The GMS division is fully booked for the remainder of the year.
The order book has been underpinned by several multi-million pound
wins, a number of which extend beyond 12 months.
Adjusted operating profit increased by GBP4.4 million to GBP13.8
million (H1 2022: GBP9.4 million) including a GBP0.2 million
foreign exchange benefit. The adjusted operating profit margin was
9.0 per cent (H1 2022: 6.9 per cent) reflecting operational
leverage on growth as well as the benefit of pricing actions.
Excluding pass-through revenues adjusted operating margin was 9.7
per cent (H1 2022: 7.5 per cent).
The considerable sales momentum has resulted in customer awards
across our key markets from new and existing customers. Notable
wins and growth drivers include the following:
-- In the UK we have secured an GBP8 million win for cable
harnesses for a market-leading safety and mission-critical
solutions provider in the UK defence market. TT has supported this
customer on the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) programme for several
years and this contract runs through to 2025.
-- Our Suzhou facility has secured a GBP6 million contract for a
global leader in patient-focused innovations for structural heart
disease and critical care monitoring. This is our first win for the
Japanese division of this key customer, and we will provide
electronics assembly and box-build solutions for vacuum pumps used
in semi-conductor equipment. Furthermore, we will incorporate value
added services such as product life cycle management and NPI to
accelerate time to market.
-- We have recently expanded our relationship geographically
with a key leading industrial customer to include our Kuantan
facility in Malaysia, to support its expansion in Singapore. This
follows on from our award of a 'best in class' supplier award and
our work on high level assemblies (HLA) for a new programme for
semiconductors. The customer has chosen TT on the back of the
proven partnership and confidence in our global teams. Our vertical
integration strategy and HLA capabilities are key to winning with
this customer.
Overall, the GMS division delivers best in class margins with a
24% ROIC. Order visibility remains strong, and our enhanced
customer relationships and business development initiatives
positions us for medium term sustainable revenue growth.
SENSORS AND SPECIALIST COMPONENTS
The Sensors and Specialist Components division works with
customers to develop high specification, standard and customised
solutions, including sensors and power management devices. Our
solutions improve the precision, speed and reliability of critical

Revenue increased by GBP10.3 million to GBP75.4 million (H1
2022: GBP65.1 million). Organic revenue was 11 per cent higher even
with some output shifting from the first half into the second half,
due to a machinery breakdown in June. We are broadly covered for
the balance of this year's revenue and are starting to build the
order book for 2024, even as order intake normalises as
anticipated. This is significantly better than the 8-12 weeks
visibility we typically had in the past.
Adjusted operating profit reduced slightly by GBP0.8 million to
GBP9.8 million (H1 2022: GBP10.6 million) including a GBP0.5
million foreign exchange benefit. The adjusted operating profit
margin reduced to 13.0 per cent (H1 2022: 16.3 per cent) impacted
by the output shift noted above. Prior period margins were strong,
boosted by an attractive drop through on volume growth and
favourable product mix. Second half margins are expected to return
to prior levels.
There have been a number of key developments during the first
half of the year including:
-- In the US we provided two custom high reliability
hermetically packaged optical sensors for a global security and
aerospace company's Stinger Missile Program. We were able quickly
to provide products with the necessary level of screening to meet
the application requirements. These are high-reliability sensors
used for the Stinger's fuse warhead body assembly. Our team worked
closely with the company's engineers from the very beginning to
fully understand the requirements and develop the right sensor to
meet the harsh environment demands.
-- We have had a long-standing relationship with Delta
Electronics. Delta trusts our team to provide excellent sales and
engineering support, which helped us to win a 5 year opportunity
(worth over GBP7 million over the life of the contract) providing
resistors for use in Delta's compact, high-density, high-power,
power supply for an ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies) data centre. Our product's technical capabilities and
our ability to deliver the product 40% ahead of our published
leadtime secured us this win. The ICTBG (Information and
Communication Technologies Business Group) division of Delta is new
to TT and could provide future cross-selling opportunities.
-- In India we won a further opportunity for a custom electric
power steering sensor to a long-standing customer, Rane Madras, for
use in one of India's largest heavy commercial vehicle
manufacturer's 4 wheeler commercial electric vehicle. TT
Electronics has a great relationship with the customer and is
positioned as a single source of supply for all its electronics
power assisted steering projects.
-- S&SC has provided an optical sensor to be used in the
Centre Information Display of electric vehicles manufactured by
Foxconn/Fisker. Our sensor will be used to detect the CID in either
horizontal or vertical position. This opportunity began during
COVID, where our prompt communication and excellent commercial and
technical support from the Asia team set us apart from the
competition. We won this opportunity with great support from our
local distributor, Arrow.
Outlook
We are really pleased with a great performance by the team to
achieve these results, with strong organic growth in revenue and
profit. Adjusted operating margin is up by 140 basis points on a
constant currency basis. Leverage has reduced on the back of the
inflection in cash generation and increased adjusted EBITDA.
The business is clearly demonstrating the benefit of the work to
re-position in the right markets, with the right customers and from
the right operational footprint. More new customer wins together
with the ramp-up of previously awarded contracts continue to
provide multi-year revenue visibility and the new business pipeline
remains strong, supported by new re-shoring opportunities.
The Group's order book underpins our full year anticipated
revenue projections, and we remain focused on executing on the
order book, delivering continued strong profit growth and driving a
material step up in free cashflow and further reducing leverage by
the year end. While mindful of the macroeconomic backdrop, our
performance in the first half, alongside continued strong momentum
in the business provides the Board with increased confidence in
delivering its full year expectations.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Group revenue was GBP309.1 million (H1 2022: GBP269.2 million).
Group revenue was 12 per cent higher than in the same period last
year on a constant currency basis. Sales volumes in all key
markets, including more recently the bounce back in commercial
aerospace, are buoyant and the order book and forward pipeline of
new business opportunities gives us confidence that this momentum
will continue.
The Group reported an adjusted operating profit of GBP25.6
million (H1 2022: GBP18.3 million) with the improvement driven by
revenue growth. Statutory operating profit for the period was
GBP20.9 million (H1 2022: GBP8.9 million) after a charge of GBP4.7
million (H1 2021: GBP9.4 million) for items excluded from adjusted
operating profit including:
-- Acquisition and disposal related costs of GBP3.5 million (H1
2022: GBP3.9 million), comprising GBP2.7 million of amortisation of
acquired intangible assets, GBP0.4 million of integration costs
relating to the acquisition of Ferranti and GBP0.4 million of
Torotel integration costs.
-- Restructuring and other costs of GBP1.2 million (H1 2022:
GBP5.5 million), comprising pension project costs of GBP0.9 million
(GBP0.7 million in respect of the buy-in of the UK pension scheme
and a settlement charge of GBP0.2 million in respect of the partial
buy out of the US scheme) and GBP0.3 million (H1 2022: GBP0.7
million) comprises GBP0.2 million relating to the relocation of
production facilities from Covina, USA to Kansas and GBP0.1 million
relating to clean up operations.
The Group generated an adjusted operating margin of 8.3 per cent
(H1 2022: 6.8 per cent) with the increase a result of operational
leverage on growth, supplemented by the benefits of our self-help
programme.
The net finance cost was higher at GBP 4.9 million ( H1 2022 :
GBP 3.3 million) due to a higher level of borrowing over the half
year and sharply higher interest rates. The comparative period
included a non-cash accelerated amortisation of fees of GBP0.6
million, associated with the previous RCF. The Group's overall tax
charge was GBP4.1 million ( H1 2022: GBP 1.5 million). The tax
charge on adjusted profit before tax was GBP 5.2 million ( H1 2022:
GBP 3.4 million), resulting in an effective adjusted tax rate of
25.2 per cent ( H1 2022 : 22.8 per cent) with the increase due to
the increase in the UK corporation tax rate.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) increased to 6.8 pence ( H1 2022:
2.3 pence). Adjusted EPS increased to 8.8 pence ( H1 2022 : 6.6
pence), reflecting the improvement in adjusted operating profit
partly offset by a higher interest and tax charge.
Adjusted operating cash flow post capital expenditure was higher
with a GBP 19.0 million inflow ( H1 2022 : GBP 10.0 million
outflow) which was primarily due to a much improved GBP6.9 million
working capital outflow ( H1 2022: GBP 33.0 million outflow),
reflecting normal seasonality. This resulted in operating cash
conversion of 74 per cent ( H1 2022 : minus 55 per cent). On a
statutory basis, cash flow from o perating activity was an inflow
of GBP 24.4 million ( H1 2022: GBP 12.3 million outflow).
There was a free cash inflow of GBP 6.9 million ( H1 2022 : GBP
23.5 million outflow), including GBP1.0 million of restructuring
and acquisition related payments (H1 2022: GBP7.0 million) .
As at 3 0 June 202 3 the Group's net debt was GBP 138.8 million
( 31 December 20 22 : GBP 138.4 million), including GBP20.2 million
of lease liabilities (31 December 20 22 : GBP 23.1 million).
Leverage, consistent with the bank covenants, was 1.8 times at 3 0
June 202 3 ( 31 December 20 22 : 2.0 times).
In June 2022 the Group re-financed its bank revolving credit
facility (RCF) with a syndicate of five relationship banks at
commercially attractive rates. This GBP147.4 million facility had a
four-year tenor with one year extension option. In the first half
of 2023 we exercised GBP15 million of a GBP32.6 million accordion,
thereby increasing the facility size to GBP162.4 million, and we
also exercised the one year extension, taking the facility maturity
out to June 2027. The RCF is complemented by GBP75 million of
private placement fixed rate loan notes, which were issued in
December 2021, with 7 and 10 year maturities.
Following the buy-in of the UK defined benefit scheme in
November 2022, the scheme is de-risked and had a surplus of GBP29.2
million at 30 June 2023. No contributions were made to the scheme
in the period (H1 2022: GBPnil) and none are expected going
forwards. The scheme data is now being adopted by Legal and General
and a decision on moving to buy-out is expected be made by the end
of the year.
Summary of Adjusted results
To assist with the understanding of earnings trends, the Group
has included within its non-GAAP alternative performance measures
including adjusted operating profit and adjusted profit. Further
information is contained in the 'Reconciliation of KPIs and non
IFRS measures' on pages 35 to 41.

At 30 June 2023 the Group's net debt was GBP138.8 million (31
December 2022: GBP138.4 million). Included within net debt was
GBP20.2 million of lease liabilities (31 December 2022: GBP23.1
million).
Consistent with the Group's borrowing agreements, which exclude
the impact of IFRS 16 leases, leverage ratio was 1.8 times at 30
June 2023 (31 December 2022: 2.0 times). Net interest cover was 7.0
times (31 December 2022: 7.4 times). The Group's debt covenants
state that the leverage ratio must not exceed 3.0 times and that
interest cover must be more than 4.0 times.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group has an established, structured approach to identifying
and assessing the impact of financial and operational risks on its
business, which is reviewed and updated quarterly. The principal
risks and uncertainties for the remainder of the financial year are
not expected to change materially from those included on pages 69
to 72 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2022. The risks identified
relate to the following areas: general revenue reduction due to
geopolitical instability or economic downturn; contractual risks;
research and development; people and capability; supplier
resilience; IT systems and information; M&A and integration;
sustainability, climate change and the environment; health and
safety and legal and regulatory compliance. Further information in
relation to the Group's financial position and going concern is
included on page 17.

including both economic and business risk factors underlying such

TT Electronics plc
Interim Results for the half-year ended 30 June 2023
Going Concern
The Group has experienced continued improvement in trading
momentum and strong growth from our 2022 results. We continue to
see benefit from our strategic repositioning in our chosen
structural growth markets as well as our focus on building close
relationships with our clients and this can be seen in both the
order book and financial performance of the Group.
The Group's financial position remains stable, on 30 June 2023
it had GBP289.8 million of total borrowing facilities available
(comprising committed facilities of GBP258.6 million, of which
GBP190.6 million is drawn, and uncommitted facilities of GBP31.2
million representing overdraft lines and an undrawn accordion
facility of GBP17.6 million).
The Group's primary source of finance is the GBP162.4 million
committed revolving credit facility (RCF) which was signed in June
2022 and will mature in June 2027 following the Group exercising an
option to extend the previously existing maturity by one year in
May 2023. The RCF includes a GBP15.0 million committed extension
converted from the existing uncommitted accordion facilities in
February 2023. At 30 June 2023 GBP115.6 million of this facility
had been drawn down. The Group's RCF is payable on a floating rate
basis above GBP SONIA, USD SOFR or EURIBOR depending on the
currency of the loan.
In December 2021, TT completed a debut issue of GBP75 million of
private placement fixed rate loan notes with three institutional
investors; the issue is evenly split between 7 and 10 year
maturities with an average interest rate of 2.9% and covenants in
line with our bank facility.
The Group had a leverage ratio of 1.8 times on 30 June 2023
compared to an RCF covenant maximum of 3.0 times and interest cover
(pre-IFRS 16 and excluding pension interest) of 7.0 times compared
to an RCF covenant minimum of 4.0 times.
The Group has prepared and reviewed cash flow forecasts across
the business over the twelve-month period from the date of the
approval of these interim results, considering the Group's current
financial position and the potential impact of our principal risks
on divisional performance.
Under the Group's base case financial projections, the Group
retains significant liquidity and covenant headroom, with both
metrics improving from the position as at 30 June 2023.
The Group's downside stress test scenario has been sensitised
for supply chain challenges, interest rate risks, general economic
downturn and people and capability challenges which show a
reduction in revenue and operating profit compared to the latest
forecast. Despite this further reduction these projections show
that the Group should remain well within its facilities headroom
and within bank covenants during 2023 and 2024. A 'reverse' stress
test was also modelled to understand the conditions which could
jeopardise the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern
including assessing against covenant testing and facility headroom.
The reverse stress test scenario is deemed to have a remote
likelihood and helped inform the Directors' assessment that there
are no material uncertainties in relation to going concern.
The Group's wide geographical and sector diversification helps
minimise the risk of serious business interruption or catastrophic
reputational damage. Furthermore, the business model is structured
so that the Group is not overly reliant on any single customer,
market or geography.
The Directors have assessed the future funding requirements of
the Group with due regard to the risks and uncertainties to which
the Group is exposed and compared them with the level of available
borrowing facilities and are satisfied that the Group has adequate
resources for at least twelve months from the date of signing these
interim financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Responsibility statement of the Directors

Independent review report to TT Electronics plc
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 June 2023 which comprises of the condensed
consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement
of financial position, the condensed consolidated statement of
changes in equity, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement
and related notes 1 to 13.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with United Kingdom adopted International Accounting Standard 34
and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 "Review of Interim
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the
United Kingdom (ISRE (UK) 2410). A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the
group are prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted
international accounting standards. The condensed set of financial
statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been
prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted International
Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
Conclusion relating to Going Concern
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than
those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for
Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our
attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately
adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors
have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern
that are not appropriately disclosed. This Conclusion is based on
the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410;
however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease
to continue as a going concern.
Responsibilities of the directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly
financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority.
In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the directors are
responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial
information
In reviewing the half-yearly financial report, we are
responsible for expressing to the group a conclusion on the
condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report. Our conclusion, including our conclusion relating to Going
Concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit
procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of
this report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with
ISRE (UK) 2410. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state
to the company those matters we are required to state to it in an
independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility
to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

TT Electronics plc
Interim results for the half-year ended 30 June 2023
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
(unaudited)
1. General information
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six
months ended 30 June 2023 are unaudited and were authorised for
issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.
The information for the six months ended 30 June 2023 does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. Comparative information for the year ended 31
December 2022 has been taken from the published statutory accounts,
a copy of which has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The auditors reported on those accounts: their report was
unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of
emphasis and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or
(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Basis of preparation
a) Condensed consolidated half-year financial statements
The 2023 annual financial statements of TT Electronics plc will
be prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted International
Accounting Standards. The condensed set of financial statements
included in this half yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with United Kingdom adopted International Accounting
Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These condensed
consolidated half-year financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required in the annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Annual
Report.
b) Basis of accounting
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those
followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
c) Alternative performance measures
The Group presents Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") in
addition to the statutory results of the Group.
Adjusted operating profit has been defined as operating profit
from continuing operations excluding the impacts of significant
restructuring programmes, significant one-off items including
property disposals, impairment charges significant in nature and/or
value, certain one-off pension costs, business acquisition,
integration and divestment related activity; and the amortisation
of intangible assets recognised on acquisition. Acquisition and
disposal related items include the writing off of the
pre-acquisition profit element of inventory written up on
acquisition, other direct costs associated with business
combinations and adjustments to contingent consideration related to
acquired businesses. Restructuring includes significant changes in
footprint (including movement of production facilities) and
significant costs of management changes.
In addition to the items above, adjusting items impacting profit
after tax include:
-- The net effect on tax of significant restructuring from
strategy changes that are not considered by the Group to be part of
the normal operating costs of the business; and
-- The tax effects of adjustments to profit before tax.
Costs associated with restructuring, acquisitions and disposals
are uncertain with regard to their timing and size and therefore
their inclusion within adjusted operating profit could mislead the
reader of the accounts.
These interim results include alternative performance measures
that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. These alternative
performance measures have been selected by the Directors to assist
them in making operating decisions because they represent the
underlying operating performance of the Group and facilitate
internal comparisons of performance over time.
The Directors consider the adjusted results to be an important
measure used to monitor how the businesses are performing as this
provides a meaningful reflection of how the businesses are managed
and measured on a day-to-day basis and achieves consistency and
comparability between reporting periods, when all businesses are
held for a complete reporting period.
These alternative performance measures exclude certain
significant non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items that the
Directors do not believe are indicative of the underlying operating
performance of the Group (that are otherwise included when
preparing financial measures under IFRS).
Adjusted profit is not a defined term under IFRS and may not be
comparable with similarly titled profit measures reported by other
companies. It is not intended to be a substitute for, or superior
to, GAAP measures. All APMs relate to the current year results and
comparable periods where provided.
The Directors consider there to be four main alternative
performance measures: adjusted operating profit, free cash flow,
adjusted EPS and adjusted effective tax rate.
All alternative performance measures are presented within the
section titled 'Reconciliation of KPIs and non IFRS Measures' and
are reconciled to their equivalent statutory measures where this is
appropriate.
d) Estimates and judgements
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
which affect the application of accounting policies and the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
Significant judgements relate to the determination of items of
income and expense excluded from operating profit to arrive at
adjusted operating profit. Judgements are required as to whether
items are disclosed as adjusting with consideration given to both
quantitative and qualitative factors. Further information about the
determination of adjusting items is included in note 1c of the 2022
Annual Report.
Significant estimates relate to uncertain tax provisions and
goodwill. Accruals for tax contingencies require management to make
judgements and estimates in relation to tax authority audits and
exposures. Amounts accrued are based on management's interpretation
of country-specific tax law and the likelihood of settlement. Tax
benefits are not recognised unless the tax positions are probable
of being sustained. Once considered to be probable, management
reviews each material tax benefit to assess whether a provision
should be taken against full recognition of the benefit on the
basis of potential settlement through negotiation and/or
litigation. These amounts are expected to be utilised or to reverse
as tax audits occur or as the statute of limitations is reached in
the respective countries concerned. The Group's current tax
liability at 30 June 2023 includes tax provisions of GBP9.3 million
(2022: GBP8.4 million). The Group believes the range of reasonable
possible outcomes in respect of these exposures is tax liabilities
of up to GBP12.3 million (2022: GBP11.1 million).
There is a significant estimate over the carrying value of the
goodwill attributable to the IoT Solutions cash generating unit
('CGU'). The goodwill was impaired in 2022 so therefore the
headroom as at 31 December 2022 was limited. The raising of
interest rates by the Bank of England in 2023 has caused the
discount factor which is used in assessing the headroom to rise.
The rise in rates and the fact that the goodwill was impaired in
2022 is an indicator of impairment. On 30 June 2023 an impairment
analysis was performed and headroom was determined to be GBP0.9
million. Sensitivity analysis has been performed and indicates that
a change in the pre-tax discount rate and long-term growth rate
from 15.6% to 15.9% or from 1.8% to 1.3% respectively would reduce
headroom to GBPnil. A reduction in the terminal value of operating
profit by 3.7% would also reduce the headroom to GBPnil.
e) Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a
reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources and
financial headroom to continue in operational existence for at
least twelve months from the date of signing these interim results.
Therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the condensed consolidated half-year
financial statements. Page 17 outlines the going concern
assessment.
Given the financial resources available, together with long term
partnerships with multiple key customers and suppliers across
different geographic areas and industries, the Directors believe
that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks
successfully.
The Group continues to manage foreign currency risk at a
transactional level through the use of hedges which are monitored
by the Group Treasury Committee.
The Group Treasury Committee regularly reviews counterparty
credit risk and ensures cash balances are held with carefully
assessed counterparties with strong credit ratings.
Pages 69 to 72 of the 2022 Annual Report provide details of the
Group's policy on managing its operational and financial risks.
3. Segmental reporting
The Group is organised into three divisions, as shown below,
according to the nature of the products and services provided. Each
of these divisions represents an operating segment in accordance
with IFRS 8 'Operating segments' and there is no aggregation of
segments. The chief operating decision maker is the Board of
Directors. The operating segments are:
-- Power and Connectivity - the Power and Connectivity division
develops and manufactures power application products and
connectivity devices which enable the capture and wireless transfer
of data. We collaborate with our customers to develop innovative
solutions to optimise their electronic systems;
-- Global Manufacturing Solutions - the Global Manufacturing
Solutions division provides manufacturing services and engineering
solutions for our product divisions and to customers that often
require a lower volume and higher mix of different products. We
manufacture complex integrated product assemblies for our customers
and provide engineering services including designing testing
solutions and value-engineering; and
-- Sensors and Specialist Components - the Sensors and
Specialist Components division works with customers to develop
standard and customised solutions, including sensors and power
management devices. Our solutions improve the precision, speed and
reliability of critical aspects of our customers' applications.
The key performance measure of the operating segments is
adjusted operating profit. Refer to the section titled
'Reconciliation of KPIs and non IFRS Measures' for a definition of
adjusted operating profit.
Corporate costs - Resources and costs of the head office managed
centrally but deployed in support of the operating units are
allocated to segments based on a combination of revenue and
adjusted operating profit.
Resources and costs of the head office which are not related to
the operating activities of the trading units are not allocated to
divisions and are separately disclosed, equivalent to the segment
disclosure information, so that reporting is consistent with the
format that is used for review by the chief operating decision
maker. This gives greater transparency of the adjusted operating
profits for each segment. Adjusting items are not allocated to
divisions for reporting purposes. For further discussion of these
items see note 4.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same
as the Group's accounting policies.
Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and
income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to
operating segments. Goodwill is allocated to the individual cash
generating units within the segment of which it is a part.

5. Taxation
The half-year tax charge of GBP4.1 million (2022: GBP1.5
million) is based on a forecast effective tax rate of 25.2 per cent
(2022: 22.8 per cent) on adjusted profit and a GBP1.1 million
(2022: GBP1.9 million) credit on restructuring, asset impairments
and acquisition related costs.
The enacted UK tax rate applicable since 1 April 2017 to 31
March 2023 was 19 per cent. From 1 April 2023 the UK tax rate
increased to 25 per cent meaning the current year blended rate is
23.5 per cent.
6. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average
number of shares in issue during the period. The weighted average
number of shares in issue is 176.0 million (30 June 2022: 175.7
million, 31 December 2022: 175.8 million). The calculation of the
diluted earnings per share excludes 3,666,008 (30 June 2022:
2,175,908) share options whose effect would have been
anti-dilutive. Adjusted earnings per share is based on the adjusted
profit after interest and tax.

8. Fair value of financial instruments
IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" requires an analysis of those
financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of
the period in a fair value hierarchy. In addition, IFRS 13 requires
financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which fair
value is disclosed to be analysed in the same fair value
hierarchy:
-- Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities;
-- Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within
level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based
on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are
included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair values:
-- cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and
trade and other payables approximate to their carrying amounts
largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments;
-- the fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting
future cash flows using rates currently available for debt and
remaining maturities (level 2);
-- the fair value of unsecured loan notes has been derived from
available market data for borrowings of similar terms and maturity

9. Retirement benefit schemes
At 30 June 2023 the Group operated one defined benefit scheme in
the UK (the TT Group (1993) scheme) and overseas defined benefit
schemes in the USA. These schemes are closed to new members and the
UK scheme is closed to future accrual. Given the nature of the
Company's control of the plan under the Scheme's rules, a pension
surplus has been recognised under IFRIC 14.
In the period ended 30 June 2023 the Trustees of the BI
Technologies Corporation Retirement Plan, one of the US defined
benefit schemes in the USA, completed a partial buy-out,
extinguishing gross liabilities of GBP3.9m, with effect from March
2023. A settlement cost of GBP0.2 million was recognised within
items excluded from adjusted operating profit as a result of this
exercise.
In November 2022, the Trustees of the TT Group Scheme entered
into a bulk annuity insurance contract with an insurer in respect
of the liabilities of the defined benefit scheme (also known as a
'buy-in'). Following the buy-in the Trustees and Company agreed
that there was no requirement for any further contributions to be
paid to the Scheme.
In October 2022, the Trustees of the Southern & Redfern Ltd
Retirement Benefits Scheme completed a buy-out of the scheme with a
leading insurer.

---------------------------------------- ----------- ----------- -------------
Amounts recognised in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income are a loss of GBP1.4 million (2022: gain of
GBP16.8 million) which comprises a GBP40.4 million loss on schemes'
assets of GBP349.9 million (2022: loss of GBP126.4 million) and a
GBP39.0 million gain on the remeasurement of the schemes'
obligations of GBP323.6 million (2022: gain of GBP143.2 million).
Following the buy-in of the UK pension scheme in 2022, all
actuarial remeasurements on the UK scheme liabilities are fully
offset by movements in the value of the buy-in contract.
The decrease in the scheme obligation is due to increases in
yields on corporate bonds and experience losses in the half
year.
The triennial valuation of the TT Group scheme as at April 2022
showed a net surplus of GBP45.4 million against the Trustee's
funding objective compared with a surplus of GBP0.3 million at
April 2019.

The Group's primary source of finance is the GBP162.4 million
committed revolving credit facility (RCF) which was signed in June
2022 and will mature in June 2027 following the Group exercising an
option to extend the previously existing maturity by one year in
May 2023. The RCF includes a GBP15.0 million committed extension
converted from existing uncommitted accordion facilities in
February 2023. At 30 June 2023 GBP115.6 million of this facility
had been drawn down. The Group's RCF is payable on a floating rate
basis above GBP SONIA, USD SOFR or EURIBOR depending on the
currency of the loan.
In December 2021, TT completed a debut issue of GBP75 million of
private placement fixed rate loan notes with three institutional
investors; the issue is evenly split between 7 and 10 year
maturities with an average interest rate of 2.9% and covenants in
line with our bank facility.
11. Share capital
During the period the Company issued 92,555 ordinary shares
(2022: 134,804) as a result of share options being exercised under
the Sharesave scheme and Share Purchase plans. The aggregate
consideration received in respect of all new issues of shares was
GBP0.1 million (2022: GBP0.2 million), which was represented by a
GBP0.1 million (2022: GBP0.2 million) increase in share
premium.
During the period grants of awards were made under the LTIP for
the issue of shares in 2026. An award is a contingent right to
receive shares in the future, subject to continued employment and
the achievement of predetermined performance criteria. During the
period grants of awards were made under the 2023 LTIP scheme for
the issue of up to 1,680,053 shares in 2026.
12. Related party transactions
Transactions between the company and its subsidiaries have been
eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. No
related party transactions have taken place during the six months
ended 30 June 2023 that have materially affected the financial
position or performance of the Group.
13. Subsequent events
There were no subsequent events to report between the balance
sheet date of 30 June 2023 and the date of issue of these financial
statements.
Reconciliation of KPIs and non IFRS Measures
In accordance with the Guidelines on APMs issued by the European
Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), additional information is
provided on the APMs used by the Group below.
To assist with the understanding of earnings trends, the Group
has included within its financial statements APMs adjusted
operating profit and other adjusted profit measures. The APMs used
are not defined terms under IFRS and therefore may not be
comparable to similar measures used by other companies. They are
not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP
measures.
Management uses adjusted measures to assess the operating
performance of the Group, having adjusted for specific items as
detailed in note 4. They form the basis of internal management
accounts and are used for decision making, including capital
allocation, with a subset also forming the basis of internal
incentive arrangements. By using adjusted measures in segmental
reporting, this enables readers of the financial statements to
recognise how incentive performance is targeted. Adjusted measures
are also presented in this announcement because the Directors
believe they provide additional useful information to shareholders
on comparable trends over time. Finally, this presentation allows
for separate disclosure and specific narrative to be included
concerning the adjusting items; this helps to ensure performance in
any one year can be more clearly understood by the user of the
financial statements.
