Executive summary

  • Executed a pan-European expansion strategy, accepting short-term earnings dilution for long-term growth, and opened 13 new stores, adding 677,600 sq ft and securing a 1.1m sq ft pipeline.

  • Achieved robust revenue and EBITDAR growth in FY 2025, with total revenue up 5.0% at constant exchange rates and underlying EBITDAR up 1.2%.

  • Launched a joint venture in Italy, expanding the European footprint and diversifying growth avenues.

  • Investments in technology and operational efficiency supported margin stability and revenue per available square foot growth.

  • Transitioning from capital deployment to cash generation as store openings peak and earnings growth shifts to utilization and operational execution.

Financial highlights

  • Total revenue grew 4.9% year-on-year to £234.3m; like-for-like revenue up 3.1%.

  • Underlying EBITDA/EBITDAR rose 1.2% to £137m; store EBITDA up 3.2%.

  • Adjusted diluted EPS was 40.3p, slightly down due to expansion funding but in line with consensus.

  • Full-year dividend increased 1% to 30.7p per share.

  • Net debt (including leases) increased by £159m to £1.1bn due to new borrowings for expansion.

Outlook and guidance

  • FY 2026 outlook is cautiously optimistic, with a return to EPS growth expected as cost headwinds ease and new store dilution fades.

  • Like-for-like underlying costs of sales projected to rise 3%-6% year-on-year, with inflationary pressures offset by efficiency initiatives.

  • Finance costs expected to increase by £1–2m year-over-year due to additional debt for development.

  • Development CapEx for FY26 projected at £86m; progressive dividend policy to continue.

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.
