AEGIS DEFENCE SERVICES LIMITED
Company number 04541965 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Aegis Defence Services Limited is in critical financial condition on a standalone basis: revenue fell 35% to £29.3m in FY2025, the operating loss widened to £13.9m (a −47.4% margin), and shareholders' funds dropped from −£0.7m to −£11.7m after an £18.1m dividend was paid, leaving the company balance-sheet insolvent. Its ability to keep trading rests on the support of its 75%+ owner, GardaWorld Consulting (UK) Limited, rather than on its own resources, and the equity movement implies roughly £21m of non-trading credits are masking the true trading loss. The prognosis depends on whether the Iraqi restructuring restores margins and whether the group formally commits capital — without both, further erosion and rising creditor risk are the likely trajectory.
