Ashtead Technology Holdings plc

("the Company")

YEAR END TRADING UPDATE

Strong performance for the full year following successful IPO in November 2021

Ashtead Technology Holdings plc (AIM: AT.), a leading subsea equipment rental and solutions provider for the global offshore energy sector, today provides an update on its financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Company performed strongly throughout the year, benefitting from improving market conditions across both the Company's offshore wind and oil and gas end markets. Unaudited full year revenues are expected to be approximately £55m, up 30% on the prior year and ahead of the Board's previous guidance.

This outperformance was driven by both equipment rental and a higher than anticipated level of new equipment sales in the fourth quarter, driven by customer demand. Equipment rental has seen improved utilisation, and a recovery in pricing from the prior year impact of COVID-19.

The Company's margins were in line with its expectations when accounting for a slightly greater contribution from equipment sales. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be modestly ahead of previous guidance with Adjusted EBITA comfortably ahead.

Allan Pirie, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We are pleased with the full year performance which demonstrates the momentum in our business, delivering on what we set out at our IPO. We remain confident that Ashtead Technology is ideally positioned to support energy producers' transition to more renewable sources of energy and benefit from the global investment into offshore wind. We look forward to continued progress through 2022."
