Deal rationale and strategic fit

  • Acquisition of a high-quality, vertically integrated online kitchen business provides direct access to non-trade customers and expands the addressable UK market.

  • DIY Kitchens' online-only, made-to-order model complements the trade-focused, full-service approach, allowing both brands to serve distinct customer segments.

  • Both businesses are high growth, high margin, vertically integrated, and have outperformed the fragmented UK kitchen market.

  • DIY Kitchens attracts self-managing customers seeking control and convenience, with a scalable, entrepreneurial culture.

  • The acquisition is incremental, providing a new growth avenue while maintaining focus on the core trade business.

Financial terms and conditions

  • Enterprise value of £390 million, with £292.5 million in cash and £97.5 million in new shares issued to vendors.

  • Valuation at 8.5x LTM EBITDA (to March 2026).

  • DIY Kitchens generated £136 million in revenue and £37 million EBIT (27% margin) in 2025.

  • Acquisition includes freehold property assets valued at £55 million.

  • Funded via existing cash and a new £240 million bank facility; group expects to remain in a net cash position post-transaction.

Synergies and expected cost savings

  • Initial cost savings anticipated in raw materials, sourcing, and machinery.

  • Both businesses benefit from efficient cost bases, strong vertical integration, and manufacturing operations.

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.
