Global group revenue rose 3.4% to £3.1 billion, while underlying operating profit is up 2.6% to £218.2 million. The underlying operating margin was maintained at 7.1%.
Keller reported a net cash position of £59.7 million and a year-end order book of £1.5 billion CER, with ‘high’ tendering levels and ‘good visibility’ into 2026.
The group has also announced its intention to launch a further £100 million share buyback.
CEO James Wroath said, “It has been a privilege to take on the leadership of the group at a time of such strong performance and clear opportunity. The financial results in 2025 were another record, achieved despite a mixed market backdrop and a FX translational
headwind.
“Keller’s outstanding financial performance, strong balance sheet and cash generation were a key attraction for me in joining. The group has a compelling proposition for all our stakeholders and I am optimistic about the scale of opportunity ahead on which Keller is uniquely positioned to capitalise.
