Intertek Group Demonstrates Strong Momentum with 4.3% Like-for-Like Growth

Intertek Group has announced impressive financial performance in its year-to-date results, with total revenue reaching 2.85 billion pounds and overall growth of 4.6%. The standout metric is the company’s like-for-like (LFL) revenue expansion of 4.3%, while M&A activity contributed an additional 0.3% to the top line.

Segmented Performance Reveals Mixed Dynamics

The interim period from July through October painted a more granular picture of business momentum. During this timeframe, LFL revenue growth moderated slightly to 4.1%, though this masks significant variation across operating divisions. Consumer Products led the charge with robust 5.4% expansion, while Corporate Assurance showed particularly strong acceleration at 6.6%. Infrastructure and related operations grew 6.0%, whereas Health and Safety posted more modest gains of 0.8%. Energy sector revenues remained essentially flat during the period.

Forward Guidance and Strategic Outlook

Management has reaffirmed its confidence in achieving full-year 2025 targets, signaling the company remains well-positioned to deliver mid-single digit LFL revenue growth when measured at constant currency. The earnings projection is supported by accelerating margin improvement and robust cash flow generation across operations. Looking beyond the current fiscal period, Intertek has set its sights on sustained performance, targeting similar mid-single digit LFL revenue growth for 2026, suggesting management expects the operational momentum to persist.
