“We delivered a resilient performance – in line with our expectations – and have continued to execute on our strategy in the first half, against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our performance was supported by our transformation programme which is progressing well. For the full year, we are maintaining guidance with our confidence in the second half underpinned by further transformation benefits."

“We are strongly focused on cash generation, with our established businesses driving cash to support the disciplined development of our growth businesses and further shareholder returns. Johnson Matthey has an important role to play in the global transition to net zero and our portfolio means we are well positioned to adapt to the evolving pace of this transition. We continue to secure important project wins in sustainable technologies, whilst building our capability and transforming at pace.”
