Upgrade / downgrade cycle

FY27 guidance and cost normalisation

Upgraded guidance reiterated at H1 results

FY27 guidance was set on 24 March and reiterated on 12 May. On 17 September the Board upgraded it after H1 GP growth of c.18%. The 13 Oct H1 results (GP +17.8%, operating profit +6.6%) reiterate the upgraded guidance: FY27 GP up low to mid-teens, operating profit up low to mid single digit. About half of the c.£4.5m cost normalisation fell in H1. The Board expects operating profit to grow broadly in line with GP from FY28.
