As a result, overall Group revenue is expected to be broadly in line with market expectations*.

Further details will be provided when Oxford Metrics announces its Preliminary Results for the financial year ended 30 September 2025, which is expected in early December 2025.
Imogen O'Connor, CEO of Oxford Metrics, commented: "FY25 was a year of strong strategic progress for Oxford Metrics.

With a healthy balance sheet and a clear strategic direction, we enter the new financial year well placed to pursue the exciting growth opportunities ahead."
