CHAIRPERSON'S STATEMENT
On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to present the results of Amirose London Holdings PLC for the year ended 31 March 2026. The defining achievement of the year was the successful completion of the reverse acquisition and the admission of Amirose London Holdings PLC to the public markets. This transformational milestone gives the Group a stronger platform, greater visibility and enhanced access to capital to support future growth.
Group revenue increased by 24.9% to
The admission to the public markets, together with the associated capital raise, materially strengthened our financial platform. Share capital and share premium increased by more than
The Group reported a loss before tax of
Looking ahead, we believe the fundamental nature of our market provides an important degree of resilience. Whatever happens in the world, whatever jobs may be transformed by Artificial Intelligence and whatever economic challenges may arise, people will always need personal care products. Personal care is a resilient, essential and enduring market. History demonstrates this: even during times of war, when many goods became scarce, soap was among the most valuable and essential products people needed. People will always want to feel better, look better and care for themselves, even when times are difficult. This resilience underpins our confidence in the long-term prospects of Amirose.
Our mission is straightforward: to deliver the best value at the best price, while continuing to build a business that creates lasting value for our customers, our partners and our shareholders.
Amirose enters the new financial year in a significantly stronger position. We are now a publicly listed company with a stronger balance sheet, positive operating cash flow and an enhanced sales and operational team. Our focus is on execution: growing revenues, strengthening our market position, expanding our customer base and delivering sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
I would like to thank my fellow Directors and the whole Amirose team. The hard work and commitment of our management team and employees have been instrumental in transforming the Company and driving this positive change. I would also like to thank our clients, partners and shareholders for their continued confidence and support. Our admission to the public markets marks the beginning of Amirose's next chapter, and we look forward to building on this achievement.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Trading performance
Revenue increased by 24.9% to
Gross margin was marginally below the prior year, reflecting input cost inflation on programmes priced before those increases took effect. The Board has taken action to address this. Pricing on new business is now set against a defined margin floor and makes allowance for input cost movement over the life of the programme, and the Group has introduced an annual pricing review across the existing customer base.

Outlook
The Group enters the new financial year with a larger customer base, a stronger management team and improving margins. Trading in the first quarter has been profitable: in the three months to 30 June 2026 the trading business recorded a profit before tax of
The Board's priorities are to sustain that improvement in margin and convert it into profit at Group level; to improve the availability and cost of the Group's funding; and to continue to make better use of the capacity available at Thetford. The wider environment remains uncertain, but the shift among brand owners toward supply chains that are closer to home and more resilient continues to favour
