US operations now contribute 76% of the group’s underlying operating profit, driven by high-margin Engineered Solutions (+8%) and Galvanizing Services (+6%) growth, benefiting from robust US infrastructure demand (Sharecast).
The UK segment faced a more challenging market backdrop with reduced public sector demand, leading to broadly flat H1 2025 revenue (+0.4%) and shares tumbling over 7% after management warned of continued headwinds into the second half (City AM).
England’s road building and repair budget was cut by 5%, potentially dampening demand for Hill & Smith’s core road safety barriers and infrastructure products in its home market (FT).
High profit concentration in the US—accounting for 76% of underlying operating profit—exposes Hill & Smith to geographic and policy risks in the US infrastructure market (Sharecast).
