Focusrite plc Provides Trading Update for the Six Months Ended 28 February 2026 Focusrite plc provided trading update for the six months ended 28 February 2026. For the six months to 28 February 2026, Group revenue is expected to be approximately £76 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5% on a reported basis compared to the six months ended 28 February 2025. As expected, this reflects a particularly strong comparator for the Content Creation division in the prior period, which benefitted from stock levels being increased in the US distribution channel ahead of anticipated tariff increases, as well as the continued unwinding of inventory levels in the US distribution channel in the six month period to 28 February 2026. Audio Reproduction, including the Martin Audio brand, returned to growth during this period as markets normalised. Duyuru • Mar 03

Focusrite plc to Report First Half, 2025 Results on Apr 29, 2025 Focusrite plc announced that they will report first half, 2025 results on Apr 29, 2025 Duyuru • Mar 20
Focusrite plc Provides Trading Update for the Six Months Ended 28 February 2025 Focusrite plc provided trading update for the six months ended 28 February 2025. The Group's performance for the period was in line with expectations. Revenue for the first half is expected to be not less than £80 million, compared with £76.9 million in the first six months of the prior year. On an underlying basis, eliminating the revenue benefit of the planned increase in stock in the US sales channel to mitigate potential tariffs, the Content Creation division grew c.5% in the first half. This growth was partially offset by a decrease of approximately 6% in Audio Reproduction, reflecting the previously highlighted ongoing market realignment following the one off post-COVID boost and a particularly strong comparator in first half of fiscal year 2024. The Audio Reproduction division continues to have a stable sales pipeline and, with a seasonal weighting to the second half, revenue is expected to improve in the second six months of this period across this division.
