LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Halma plc (HLMA.L, HLMAF), a British group of technology companies, on Thursday reported higher pre-tax income in the fiscal year ended March 2026 compared with the previous year.

Earnings per share were 98.17 pence versus 78.14 pence last year.

Further, total dividend paid and proposed increased to 24.74 pence per share, comprising an interim dividend of 9.63 pence per share and a proposed final dividend of 15.11 pence per share.
Looking ahead, the company expects low double-digit percentage organic constant-currency revenue growth in fiscal 2027, supported by a strong order book and order intake.
