RM plc Shows Improvement in Interim Financial Results

RM plc, a notable global provider in the educational technology and digital assessment sectors, has announced its interim financial results for the six months ending 31 May 2026. The company reports a revenue decline of 4.2% to £70.1m, attributed largely to challenges in the UK school's market impacting the Technology division.

Despite this, RM saw a notable improvement in other areas. The adjusted operating profit soared by 200% to £2.7m, with adjusted EBITDA rising 48.6% due to effective cost-saving measures and an increase in core recurring assessment revenue. The company's strategic focus remains on expanding its high-growth Assessment division, already achieving a 7.3% rise in recurring revenue within this segment.

TTS, RM's provider of educational resources, faced a slight revenue decline due to international challenges and strategic pricing decisions. Meanwhile, the Technology division saw a revenue drop of 9.1% amidst ongoing budget constraints in UK schools. The company, however, remains on track to meet full-year expectations for adjusted operating profit and EBITDA.
