STRATEGIC REPORT GOVERNANCE & DIRECTORS’ REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
TT ELECTRONICS PLC | ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
After a number of years of good results, 2024 has been a
challenging year for TT and, regrettably, the Group
performance was down compared with the previous
year. Business performance has been mixed, in
particular hampered by difficult component market
conditions and operational challenges in our business
inNorth America. While we saw a strong performance
inEurope and Asia, and strong revenue growth in
ourAerospace & Defence end market, our adjusted
operating margin closed the year down 60 bps at
7.1percent.
Supported by the Board, our Executive team has
facedthese challenges head on. To offset lower
component demand we took cost action in the form
ofheadcount reductions in North America, and we
have implemented a business-wide operational
improvement programme, Project Dynamo, to unlock
opportunities and make TT stronger for the future.
We successfully divested sites in Hartlepool, Cardiff
and Dongguan (China) in the first half of the year and
reorganised the business from three divisions to a
function-led regional structure to support future
improved customer service, execution and
performance. We have also set out new medium-term
targets for revenue growth, operating margin, cash
conversion and ROIC.
The organisation continues to focus on long-term
collaboration with customers through product
lifecycles and the Board is pleased to note the healthy
number of new business wins and grants in the year,
across all of our end markets.
PROJECT DYNAMO
Our self-help programme, Project Dynamo, was
launched in the early part of the year to drive
productivity and efficiency at all of our sites. We have
eight key workstreams underway, as well as an
immediate focus on operational execution issues at
two North American sites.

Longer term, we expect Dynamo to yield benefits on

roadmaps at our sites and effectively prioritise
resources to deliver at pace for our customers.
APPOINTMENT OF NEW CFO
In November we announced Mark Hoad’s intention
toretire in 2025. Our ongoing succession planning
activity meant that we were able to move quickly and
expedite a process to assess both internal and external
candidates to succeed him. Eric Lakin was identified
as the standout candidate at the end of the year, and
we are pleased that Eric was able to join the team as
CFO Designate at the beginning of 2025.
Eric transitions to the CFO role and is appointed to the
Board at the date of the full year results. He is a highly
experienced CFO with a proven track record in
engineering and industrial sectors. He was previously
CFO of Ceres Power, a FTSE clean energy technology
business, and spent ten years in senior leadership
roles at Smiths Group.
On behalf of the Board, I welcome Eric and express
sincere thanks to Mark for his many years of service to
TT. Mark leaves the Group with our very best wishes
for a happy retirement.
PEOPLE AND CULTURE
As noted above, the business had to take the difficult
decision to reduce headcount at certain sites during
the year, as well as say goodbye to employees of our
sites moving to new ownership. We also made a
fundamental change to the structure of the business
and to the way we work. While the right thing to do for
our employees in the longer term, the Board does not
underestimate the impact of these changes on the
individuals involved and the cohesiveness of the
organisation and its culture.
Despite a tough year, the Board is
pleased with the way the organisation
has faced the challenge. We look
forward to seeing the results of these
efforts in 2025.

Chair
CHAIR’S STATEMENT
STRATEGIC REPORT GOVERNANCE & DIRECTORS’ REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
TT ELECTRONICS PLC | ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024 3
We have regular discussions at the Board on purpose,
culture and values, and are proud of the work that has
been done on safety, pay and benefits, recognition,
community and leadership in recent years. We have
also enjoyed the direct engagement we have had with
TT teams in 2024 through our site visits to Manchester
and Suzhou China, and face-to-face sessions with site
leaders and divisional/functional heads.
NET ZERO
We recorded another year of strong progress in our
emissions reduction programme. Two major solar
photovoltaic installations came on stream at our
Mexicali and Suzhou sites in 2024. These investments
will generate 1.4 GWHrs of renewable electricity per
annum and have already contributed to Scope 1 & 2
reductions. Our emissions intensity ratio is now 15 vs
56 in our 2019 baseline year and the Board was
pleased to support bringing our Scope 1 & 2 Net Zero
target forward by five years to 2030.
GOVERNANCE AND BOARD ACTIVITY
During the year the Board received an unsolicited
conditional proposal for the Group from two parties,
asdisclosed to the market in November, both of which
were rejected as undervaluing the Group and its
long-term prospects. Before rejecting these proposals,
the Board was grateful to be able to engage
appropriately and candidly with shareholders.
We were delighted to appoint Anne Thorburn as the
Group’s Senior Independent Director in May and
welcome Inken Braunschmidt to the Board as
Non-executive Director in July. Anne joined the
Boardin 2019 and also serves as Chair of the Audit
Committee. Her wise counsel is greatly appreciated
byall Board members. Inken is currently non-executive
director of both James Fisher and Sons plc and
Xaarplc. Her executive experience includes six years
with FTSE 100 industrials business Halma plc and the
Group is already benefiting from her expertise. It is
intended that Inken will succeed Alison Wood as
Chairof the Remuneration Committee when Alison
steps down from the Board at the AGM. Jack Boyer
stepped down as a Non-executive Director during the
year. The Board have greatly appreciated Alison
andJack’s wisdom and commitment over their
respective tenures.
DIVIDEND AND OUTLOOK
Given the current uncertainty over the macroeconomic
environment and associated business risks, the
Boardhas concluded that it is prudent to pause the
dividend and will not be recommending a final dividend
for 2024.
The Board is mindful of the increased market
uncertainty arising from the recently announced trade
tariffs and the potential impact on demand patterns.
Given the current macro backdrop the Board sees a
wider range of potential outcomes for 2025. We
remain resolutely focused on our operational
improvement plan, Project Dynamo, and our clear
action plan to improve operational efficiency and
productivity, however the current uncertainty has
increased the downside risk for the Group, and the
Board now expects adjusted operating profit to be in
the range of£32 million to £40 million.
The Board also remains focused on driving
performance towards its medium-term financial
framework and, while it does not expect to achieve a
12% operating margin in 2026, its confidence in the
medium term for the business is underpinned by its
operational improvement plans, expectation of
continued momentum in Europe and Asia, and an
anticipated improvement in the North American
region.
The Board has noted a material uncertainty relating
togoing concern as a result of the current challenging
macroeconomic environment. See note 1d for
furtherdetails.
