As a consequence, XP Power reinstated an interim quarterly dividend of 18.0p per share, down 49% on-year.
“I am also pleased to report that we are in a position to reinstate dividend payments with the second quarter dividend,” Peters added.
The firm said it has a record customer order backlog, mainly due to the demand for its semiconductor equipment.
