"The travelling customer always comes first for Serco in everything we do in transport no matter how busy and pressured we are to deliver the operation. We make a difference to the lives of those communities our transport operations serve whether through local employment, supporting local businesses, contributing to sustainability of local economy and environment or ensuring access and inclusion for all to use our services. We make an impact through our people motivated to deliver the best service."

Serco consensus as at 21 May 2025.
Consensus excludes any analyst forecasts that have not been updated since our announcement on 27 February.
Some analysts have included the acquisition of MT&S in their forecasts, while others are waiting until it completes. This consensus therefore includes a mix of forecasts including and excluding MT&S.
Serco guidance will be given excluding MT&S until the acquisition completes.
Were all analyst forecasts to exclude MT&S, we estimate consensus revenue would be 2025: £4.9bn, 2026: £4.95bn and underlying operating profit would be 2025: £261m, 2026: £272m
