The company’s order book was up to £677m at February 26 from £476m a year earlier, with strong demand in active cyberdefense, operational mission support and open-source intelligence services, and space-launch systems.
Chemring added that it expected performance and cash generation to be weighted toward the second half of the year due to order intake delays in 2022 as a result of the US government's extended Continuing Resolution spending bills.
