RM plc Reports Improved Profitability and Strategic Growth in H1 2025

RM plc, an EdTech and digital learning solutions provider, released a positive trading update for the first half of 2025. The company showed improvement in profitability, forecasting an adjusted operating profit between £0.7m and £0.9m, compared to a £0.3m loss in the same period last year. This boost primarily reflects effective cost control and margin improvement efforts.

Despite a slight decline in overall revenue, impacted by UK school budget constraints and delayed government funding, RM's Assessment division remains strong. Core platform revenue increased by 18%, with expectations for further growth in the year's second half.

In a strategic move, RM extended its £70m banking facility to July 2027, reinforcing financial stability. Net debt rose to £59.6m due to investments in global accreditation platform RM Ava, positioning the company for future revenue and profitability growth.
