Irish headquartered project delivery firm PM Group has today reported higher profits and revenues for 2025 and said it had entered 2026 with positive momentum.
PM Group’s operating profits for the 12 months to the end of December last rose by 24.4% to €43.3m while its revenue for the year grew by 15% to €567m.
The company said that all its regions contributed to profitability and its “strong” performance came despite the “challenging backdrop” due to economic and political uncertainty across markets during the year.
PM Group said its underlying professional fee revenue, which it said is a key indicator of performance, increased by 17%, reflecting increased project activity across the business.
A significant contributor to this growth was the continued expansion of its US business, which delivered a record year supported by major life sciences projects and increasing demand from global clients.
During the year, PM Group’s headcount increased by over 300 to now stand at 4,000.
PM Group said its Irish operations remained central to the group, supporting major projects in Ireland and across PM Group’s international footprint, while its Europe region delivered further growth in 2025, with strong activity across Life Sciences and Data Centres.
It noted that the establishment of a dedicated Data Centres Division and pan-European delivery platform further strengthened its position in this growing market.
Meanwhile, its UK operations continued to make a strong contribution to international projects, supporting major client programmes across Europe and beyond.
PM Group said it delivered its most successful year to date in the US, with its headcount increasing to more than 150 employees there. The US remains a key strategic growth market for the group, it added.
Finally its Asia operations delivered another successful year, with the India office continuing its rapid development, strengthening the group’s multi-office design and delivery capability.
Anthony O’Rourke, CEO of PM Group, said all the company’s regions contributed to profitability and continued growth across the group last year.
“This was achieved against a complex geopolitical and economic backdrop, which makes the performance particularly encouraging. The first six months of 2026 have been positive, and we look forward to another successful year,” Mr O’Rourke said.
The CSO said a highlight of 2025 was the adoption of a new strategic plan to 2029, titled Precision Magnified.
“Life Sciences will remain front and centre for the business with a strategic target to grow significantly in the US and mainland Europe,” he said.
He also said the company has seen a “step change” in the development of data centres.
“We have established a dedicated Data Centres division and a pan European delivery platform to deliver large scale data centre projects for clients across Europe,” Mr O’Rouke said.
“We are also targeting expert services such as Automation, Process Safety, Environmental and Digital and have set up a new Emerging Solutions Division to support the growth in these services. The strategy provides us with a clear vision for the future with increased investment in targeted international and sectoral growth, innovation, digital capability and next-generation project delivery,” he added.
PM Group also said today that its first quarter trading was ahead of expectations, supported by a strong backlog of secured work and encouraging activity across most sectors and services.
But it added that remains mindful of a more uncertain external environment, with geopolitical and economic developments continuing to influence client decision-making and the timing, location and scale of investment.
“Against this backdrop, PM Group will remain agile and disciplined, while continuing to invest in the strategic priorities set out in Precision Magnified 2025–2029,” it added.
