Ambertech Limited (ASX:AMO) has provided a trading update ahead of its full-year financial results for FY25, indicating an improved second-half performance and an expected full-year revenue of more than AUD 100 million. This marks an increase from FY24 revenue of AUD 95.5 million. The company reported that unaudited revenue for the second half of FY25 is expected to exceed AUD 54.0 million, up from AUD 45.5 million in the first half. The performance in the latter half of the year reflects the completion of delayed projects and continued momentum across its retail and commercial dealer networks.

Ambertech operates across multiple business segments including Media Systems, and Defence, Law Enforcement and Emergency Services (DLES). These segments were identified as key contributors to the second-half uplift. The company cited the completion of several previously delayed projects in both divisions as materially influencing the result. Additionally, the DLES segment benefited from rising demand linked to broader trends in government defence spending. Ambertech stated that this area continues to experience favourable conditions. While the full audited results are expected to be released around 25 August 2025, the company noted that the second-half EBITDA margin is expected to materially exceed the 2.4% EBITDA margin recorded in the first half of FY25. No specific figure was provided.

Ambertech acknowledged that certain areas of its business, particularly musical instruments and specialist high-fidelity (HiFi) equipment, continued to experience pressure from inflation-driven constraints on consumer spending. However, the company noted that despite subdued performance in those segments, it remains committed to their long-term value and expects a recovery in future periods. Sales across the retail and commercial distribution network were described as consistent, contributing to the broader improvement in the company's trading performance. Managing Director Peter Amos noted that the diversification of Ambertech’s product and service offering helped mitigate weaknesses in individual segments. He stated that the business saw increased demand across multiple areas and that the completion of large-scale projects has underpinned the improved outlook for the second half of the year.

In addition to the existing customer base, the company reported a positive outlook regarding potential new customer engagements. While no specific guidance was issued for FY26, Ambertech noted that new opportunities are emerging across both established and developing business channels. Ambertech’s final audited financial statements for FY25 are scheduled to be released in late August. The board has reiterated that it views the business as well positioned heading into FY26, with demand trends in key sectors such as defence and media expected to remain supportive.

The company did not provide full-year EBITDA figures but indicated that the underlying margin performance in the second half has been materially higher.
