Looking ahead, Optima Health said it is building momentum towards its medium-targets, which include revenue of £200 million, up 90% compared to £105.0 million in financial 2025, and adjusted Ebitda of £40 million, more than doubled from financial 2025’s £17.6 million.

Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Thomas said: ‘We recognise there are exciting opportunities within our market and we will continue to evaluate those opportunities to create value for shareholders including identifying and executing merger & acquisition opportunities to accelerate growth and consolidate our market leadership.’
