Group revenue reached £2.13 billion for the ten months to 31 October 2025, up 11.5% year-on-year, supported by M&A activity including Salvador Escoda and HSS Hire Ireland.
Average daily like-for-like revenue for the group rose 2.1% year-to-date, with 1.6% growth in the most recent four months, though momentum eased in the last two months.
Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands saw positive revenue growth, while the UK and Finland experienced declines in like-for-like revenue.
Retailing and manufacturing segments posted strong growth, with manufacturing up 11.1% in the period.
Integration of Salvador Escoda in Spain was completed, contributing to a 5.7% like-for-like revenue increase in the period.
Market conditions and outlook
Ireland's construction outlook remains positive, underpinned by government support and a forthcoming National Housing Plan, despite recent softening in activity.
UK distribution revenue declined 0.5% in the period, attributed to consumer caution ahead of the November Budget.
Netherlands growth slowed in the second half due to weaker branch and project sales, partially offset by national key account growth.
Finland's revenue decline eased compared to earlier months, though market conditions remain weak.
The group maintains a positive outlook, citing structural tailwinds, strong market positions, and a robust acquisitions pipeline.
Share buyback and capital returns
A seventh share buyback programme completed in November 2025, repurchasing 2.74 million shares for up to £25 million.
Since May 2022, £428.3 million has been returned to shareholders through buybacks, totaling 49.28 million shares or 20.5% of shares in issue at the start.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
