“While cautious on the broader macroeconomic backdrop and anticipating a subdued market environment, our operational execution and disciplined cost management position us to deliver moderate profit growth in FY27 in line with analyst consensus.”
adjusted pre tax profit
“Whilst the macroeconomic and consumer outlook remains hard to predict, as a result of the strong first half performance and our trading performance through the second half to date we now expect full year PBTu(A) to be between 43-50m, ahead of current consensus of 41m.”
underlying pre tax profit · stated consensus £41.0m
“As a result of the trading momentum, the continued smooth running of the supply chain, gross margin improvements and cost control, we expect to deliver strong year on year profit growth in the first half. Whilst it is still relatively early in our financial year and we are mindful of the broader macroeconomic environment and the uncertainty created by the upcoming Autumn budget, we remain comfortable with the range of consensus profit expectations2.”
pre tax profit · stated consensus 37,600,000–43,000,000
“We are comfortable with consensus and are planning for profit growth in FY26, despite our expectation for a subdued market in the near term, driven by our compelling customer proposition, further gross margin progression and continued cost discipline”
Last 24 months of trading updates, one verdict per announcement (the headline profit measure first). Companies report these themselves and lean positive, so compare against peers: the same tag-based peer group as the Overview, counting peers with at least 2 updates and needing at least 3. Verdicts are machine-extracted; where the quoted wording clearly says otherwise, the wording is used.

“The Group continues to expect full year growth in profits and cash flow with FY25 PBT expected to be in-line with current consensus ● Profit delivery now expected to be weighted to the first half driven by: ○ A cautious view on market demand in H2 based on UK economic performance post budget ○ Gains from competitor disruption in H1 expected to partially reverse in H2 ○ An increase in operational costs in H2 due to the rises in national insurance contributions, the national living wage and higher than anticipated interest rates alongside our investment to drive future growth”
