Optima Health PLC, a UK corporate health and wellbeing provider, has reported a 17% increase in first-half revenue to approximately £59 million, reflecting strong demand and integration of recent acquisitions. The company continues to invest in technology to support clinical and operational delivery.

The group’s net debt stood at £4.7 million at the end of September, with £8.3 million in cash and £13 million in borrowings, leaving its balance sheet stable as it pursues expansion plans.

A key milestone during the period is the mobilisation of a £210 million contract to deliver medical assessments for the UK Armed Forces, underlining Optima Health’s capabilities in public sector healthcare. New annualised contract wins totalled £1.9 million, down from £3.6 million a year earlier, but the company reports a healthy pipeline of future opportunities.

Expansion into Ireland was achieved through the acquisition of Cognate Health for up to €9 million, marking Optima’s first overseas move. The business was rebranded Optima Health Ireland in September to support multinational clients across the UK and Ireland. In June, Optima also acquired employee assistance provider Care First for £15,000, expected to contribute £3.7 million of annual revenue once fully integrated.

Chief executive Jonathan Thomas highlighted that the acquisitions strengthen the company’s UK footprint while providing a platform for international growth. The upgrades to Optima’s technology platform aim to improve operational efficiency, enhance service delivery, reduce costs, and improve margins.

Optima Health anticipates continued growth in the 2026 financial year and will publish interim results for the six months to 30 September in December.
