In its half-year 2026 communication, the outsourcing and support services group highlighted that adjusted operating profit for the first half of 2026 remained close to the level reported a year earlier, with underlying profitability supported by long-term government and public sector contracts across the United Kingdom, Europe and other regions.Serco Group plc
