AGM Statement

In brief · summary, not quotable

ZIGUP plc has announced a positive start to the financial year, upgrading its adjusted profit before tax expectations to the top end of the current market range, between £163.2 million and £170.0 million. This optimistic outlook is driven by strong recent performance in Spain and FMG, with average vehicles on hire over 5% ahead of the prior year and the Spanish fleet exceeding 80,000 vehicles. The company also plans to propose a final dividend of 18.2 pence per share, bringing the total ordinary dividend for the year to 27.0 pence per share. Leverage remains within the target range of 1-2x, supported by £1.8 billion in fleet assets.

ZIGUP plc (LSE:ZIG), the leading integrated mobility solutions platform providing services across the vehicle lifecycle, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 10.30 a.m. today at the offices of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governor’s House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0BR.

At the meeting the following statement will be made:

‘The Group has performed well over the first four months of the financial year and as a result of recent strong performance in Spain and FMG in particular, we expect our adjusted PBT for the year to be at the top of the current range of market expectations of £163.2 - £170.0m.

As at the end of August, average VoH is more than 5% ahead of the prior year and the Spanish fleet is now in excess of 80,000 vehicles. FMG volumes are strong, including benefitting from the recent re-awarding and expansion of the Motability contract by one of our largest insurance partners. Leverage is in line with our target range of 1-2x, and our balance sheet is supported by £1.8bn of fleet assets.

The Board remains confident of the Group’s long term growth strategy and prospects; following investment across our network we have increased scale in both geographies and the UK&I simplification actions are continuing at pace.’
