Origin Enterprises (AIM:OGN), the international group shaping the future of sustainable agriculture and land use, said in a Q3 trading update that it expects full-year adjusted diluted EPS for FY26 of 52-55 cent.
The update showed year-to-date revenue of €1.63bn, up 2.7% (5.0% constant currency), with group revenue excluding crop marketing up 3.5% YTD (6.1% cc), Agriculture revenue +2.1% YTD to €1.48bn and Living Landscapes +9.3% YTD to €150m.
Management attributed the underlying performance to 1.2% volume growth, 4.1% pricing, a 0.8% contribution from acquisitions and a 2.6% currency headwind, noting that fertiliser raw material prices rose in Q3 after supply disruption linked to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and that the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has influenced pricing.
The Group completed the bolt‑on acquisition of Clarendon Agricare to strengthen plant protection distribution in Northern Ireland and said Living Landscapes delivered 5.0% underlying growth plus an 8.2% contribution from prior acquisitions YTD.
"In a volatile macro environment, the Group has executed well, maintained commercial discipline and remains well positioned for operating profit growth this year," said Sean Coyle, Chief Executive.
Origin will publish FY26 Preliminary Results on 22 September and host a Capital Markets Day in London on 17 November.
