Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • £79 million revenue uplift potential from expanding existing client capabilities.

What makes NCC Group unique

NCC Group completes 'reset' as cyber pure-play with $288M revenue, eyes $100M upside from existing clients

NCC Group held a capital markets day highlighting the completion of its multi-year restructuring into a pure-play cyber resilience services provider. The company reported FY2025 revenue of £227 million with a 36.6% gross margin, though it cannot provide forward guidance due to an ongoing offer period. Management outlined a transformation from "isolated boutiques" to a unified global business, having divested non-core activities and streamlined operations. The company is pursuing a "1/4-20" commercial strategy to convert transactional penetration testing engagements into multi-year managed service relationships. NCC estimates it could generate an additional £79 million (34% uplift) by expanding capabilities across its existing customer base. Management believes the cyber business appears undervalued at approximately 0.53 times FY2025 revenue and targets gross margins above 40% whilst progressing towards mid-teens EBITDA margins.
