XP Power’s FY22 trading update confirmed that its H222 performance was significantly stronger than H122 as supply chain conditions improved. As expected, Q4 order intake moderated as customers adapted to longer lead times. The year-end order book of c £300m provides good visibility for FY23 and management is optimistic on XP’s prospects for the year. We have revised our forecasts to reflect moderating order intake and higher levels of debt.
