Mpac (MPAC:523p), a specialist provider of automated packaging systems, expects pre-tax profit to exceed £10mn for the first time in its history when the group releases annual results in late April.
Buoyed by operational efficiencies and improving project margins, second-half pre-tax profit of £6.6mn was materially higher than the first-half profit of £3.9mn, with the operating margin rising from 7.5 to 11.9 per cent. On this basis, full-year pre-tax profit of £10.5mn is not only expected to exceed the previous record of £8.6mn in 2021, but will be almost 50 per cent above the 2023 result.
