Rolls-Royce Current Status

The current state of Rolls-Royce at a glance, figures as of H1 2026, with core figures and the key management statements from the latest filing. NadirAlpha methodology

Assessment by NadirAlpha, as of H1 2026.

Rolls-Royce reported total underlying revenue of £11,279m in H1 2026, representing 24.5% growth from £9,057m in H1 2025, with underlying operating profit increased 46% to £2.5bn at an underlying operating margin of 22.5% 11. Free cash flow of £2.0bn was driven by higher underlying operating profit, and full year 2026 guidance was raised to £4.7bn-£4.9bn underlying operating profit and £3.8bn-£4.0bn free cash flow 11. Large engine flying hours increased 4% to 113% of 2019 levels, with 254 total large engine orders in the period and a gross book-to-bill of 1.6x 11. An interim dividend of 6.0p per ordinary share was announced for H1 2026, and £1.4bn of the planned £2.5bn share buyback programme had been completed to date 11.
Management commentary on the 2026-H1 results (IR-Half, 2026-07-30):

“Our transformation continues to deliver, and we are demonstrating that Rolls-Royce is now a very different company to that of the past. We have unlocked new growth opportunities across the Group and created a resilient and diversified portfolio, with three strong businesses that can respond to changes in the external environment with agility and pace.”

Tufan Erginbilgic, Chief Executive Officer 11

“A strong start to the year enables us to raise our guidance for 2026 despite the conflict in the Middle East. We now expect to deliver underlying operating profit of £4.7-£4.9bn and free cash flow of £3.8-£4.0bn. This builds further confidence in our mid-term targets. The actions that we have taken and investments we have made will drive significant profitable growth to the mid-term and beyond.”

Revenue trend
Guidance
For FY2026, Rolls-Royce guides Underlying operating profit 4,700 to 4,900 £ million (raised); Free cash flow 3,800 to 4,000 £ million (raised). 11
Profitability
Civil Aerospace underlying operating profit was £1.6bn at a 25.3% margin, Defence delivered £522m at 21.0%, and Power Systems contributed £528m at 20.3% in H1 2026, with Defence order intake of £2.4bn and backlog of £17.5bn, and Power Systems order intake of £4.6bn driven by data centre demand 11. Profit for the period was £1,615m, declining from £4,408m in H1 2025 due to lower non-underlying gains in the current period 11. Civil Aerospace manufacturing achieved a 9% productivity improvement over the two-year period, and the efficiency programme's second phase was initiated with scaling of global business services and SIOP activities 11.
Leverage
Net cash increased to £2.1bn at 30 June 2026 with a best-in-class TCC/GM ratio of 0.27x 11. Liquidity was £9.0bn, comprising cash of £6.5bn and undrawn facilities of £2.5bn 11. Moody's upgraded Rolls-Royce's credit rating to A3 and Fitch to A-, both with stable outlook, while S&P Global affirmed BBB+ with the outlook moved to positive; the group repaid £1.1bn of bonds in line with maturity dates and issued €1bn of new bonds maturing in 2031 and 2036 11.
Recurring
Civil Aerospace generates a significant share of revenue through long-term service agreements tied to engine flying hours; large engine MRO output increased 13% in H1 2026, with a 35% year-on-year increase in large engine refurbishments 11. Gross contractual margin improvements in Civil Aerospace were £574m for the period 11. The Trent 1000 Time on Wing programme delivered up to triple the time on wing, with Phase 1 achieving a 100% increase and Phase 2 adding a further 30%, reducing fleet service intervention frequency 11.
Management view
Rolls-Royce's Trent XWB-97 was selected to power the Qantas Project Sunrise programme, with the first non-stop test flight from Australia to Europe completed in July 2026 11. The UK Government's Defence Investment Plan pledged £8.6bn into the Global Combat Air Programme to the end of the decade, and Rolls-Royce was contracted to design a scalable core engine concept for the medium Collaborative Combat Aircraft class in Germany 11. Power Systems raised its power generation OE revenue growth target to 25% through to 2030, up from 20%, while the Governmental segment expects 20% OE revenue growth to 2030 11.
Change
Civil Aerospace net LTSA balance growth net of risk and revenue sharing arrangements was £86m in H1 2026, compared to £472m in the prior period, reflecting timing differences in contractual margin recognition 11. The naval handling business was disposed of to Fairbanks Morse Defense on 6 July 2026 for proceeds exceeding carrying value, reducing the group's non-core asset base 11. The pension buy-out transaction completed on 3 July 2026, removing £3.9bn of insured defined benefit liabilities from the balance sheet following acquisition of a bulk purchase annuity policy from Pension Insurance Corporation plc 11.
Risks (current)
Supply chain costs continued to offset LTSA margin benefits in Civil Aerospace, and multiple engine development programmes require key certification milestones for continued success 11. The external environment remains challenging, including the conflict in the Middle East, and transformation and restructuring charges related to headcount management remain ongoing 11. Interest rates are modelled at 2%-4% in the base case with a 1%-2% higher assumption in the downside forecast, and the share buyback programme and dividend commitments remain exposed to capital market changes 11.
New this reporting period
Rolls-Royce's Pearl 10X engine powered the first flight of the Dassault Falcon 10X business jet, and the U.S. Navy MQ-25A Stingray, powered by AE 3007N engines, completed its first flight in April 2026 11. The SMR subsidiary progressed contracts with GBE-N in the UK and CEZ Group in the Czech Republic into the execution phase, and was selected by Videberg Kraft to supply three SMRs in Sweden 11. Turkish Technic broke ground on an engine maintenance centre at Istanbul Airport targeted for end of 2027, contracts were signed with Sunly for four large-scale battery energy storage systems in Latvia totalling 490MWh of capacity, and construction began on an 86MWh energy storage project in Falkirk, Scotland for Voltaria Helios 11.

“Our multi-year transformation programme has started well with progress already evident in our strong initial results and increased full year guidance for 2023. There is much more to do to deliver better performance and to transform Rolls-Royce into a high performing, competitive, resilient, and growing business. We will share the outcome of our strategy review along with medium-term goals for the Group in November. Our people are committed, passionate and full of energy. Despite a challenging external environment, notably supply chain constraints, we are starting to see the early impact of our transformation in all our businesses. Better profit and cash generation reflect greater productivity, efficiency, and improved commercial outcomes. We have tightly managed our cost base to offset inflationary cost pressures. We have a strong portfolio of products and technologies in growing end markets and have secured key contract wins that will create future value and profitable growth. Our continued transformation will grow our business and allow us to play a stronger role in the energy transition.”

Rolls-Royce Business Model

What Rolls-Royce does and how the company earns its money, written AI-editorially from the original reports alone, without any assessment of our own. NadirAlpha methodology

Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC is a UK-headquartered engineering group that designs, manufactures, and services power and propulsion systems for aerospace, defence, and industrial power generation through three primary divisions: Civil Aerospace, Defence, and Power Systems. In Civil Aerospace, the company sells large turbofan engines to commercial airlines and business aviation customers and generates the majority of its revenue through long-term service agreements (LTSAs) under which operators pay on a power-by-the-hour basis for comprehensive engine maintenance coverage, creating a substantial recurring revenue stream tied to engine flying hours. The Defence division supplies propulsion and power systems to military customers globally, including combat aircraft engines, submarine propulsion, and unmanned aerial systems, underpinned primarily by long-term government contracts with multi-year backlogs. The Power Systems division, operating under the mtu brand, provides high-speed engines and integrated power solutions for industrial, marine, data centre, rail, and governmental applications, with growing exposure to data centre power demand and battery energy storage systems. Civil nuclear power is addressed through the Rolls-Royce Small Modular Reactor subsidiary, which has advanced SMR contracts into the execution phase with customers in the UK, Czech Republic, and Sweden. A significant proportion of group revenues is denominated in US dollars, particularly in Civil Aerospace, and the group manages currency exposure through hedging programmes. Across all divisions, aftermarket services and long-term contractual arrangements constitute a high share of earnings, while original equipment sales simultaneously expand the installed engine base that drives future service revenue.

Glossary

  • Revenue: Revenue from contracts with customers, net of sales deductions, as the company itself reports it; not total output, gross revenue, GMV or order intake.
  • Op. income: The operating line of the income statement; EBIT only as a marked fallback, never pre-tax or ordinary income.
  • Net income: Net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent, after discontinued operations; not the result including minority interests, not comprehensive income.
  • EPS: Diluted earnings per share attributable to the shareholders of the parent; a printed figure always beats a calculated one, calculated values are marked.
  • FCF: Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment; the company's own free cash flow figure is shown separately.
  • OCF: Cash flow from operating activities as reported; IFRS companies may show interest paid in financing cash flow, so the figure is not always comparable.
  • Cash: Cash and cash equivalents, without securities unless the company reports them as part of the position.
  • Net Debt: Net debt = financial debt excluding lease liabilities minus cash at the same reporting date; the company's own net position may differ.
  • *: derived, the formula is in the hover
  • ≈: calculated, approximation
  • ~: uncertain; the value stays visible, verdicts do not use it
  • °: repaired by a targeted query against the document, or curated with documentary evidence
  • EBIT: EBIT as a fallback: the income statement carries no operating line
  • basic: basic earnings per share as a fallback when diluted is missing
