Divestment of Omega Engineering completed

5 July 2022 - Further to the announcement of 19 April 2022, Spectris plc (SXS: LSE), the expert in providing insight through precision measurement, today announces that the divestment of Omega Engineering ('Omega') to Arcline Investment Management for $525 million has completed, following receipt of the required regulatory approvals.

Following completion of the sale of Omega, Spectris will be made up of three businesses:

Malvern Panalytical, HBK and Industrial Solutions, focused on high precision measurement solutions.

As a result, in the Group's upcoming first half results on 1 August, Omega will be reported as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5 and therefore excluded from the segmental analysis . The six months ended 30 June 2021 and twelve months ended 31 December 2021 will be restated to show continuing operations, including a reclassification of continuing head office expenses that were previously allocated to Omega being re-allocated to the three remaining businesses. These totalled

approximately GBP2.2 million in the first half of 2021 and GBP4.8 million for the full year.

A summary of the Group's re-stated sales and adjusted operating profit is presented below. This is still subject to final adjustments, with the full details to be provided in the upcoming first half results.
