Half Year Trading Update
Trading in line with full year expectations
Brickability Group plc (AIM: BRCK), a leading distributor and provider of
specialist products and services to the UK construction industry, issues the
following trading update for the six-month period ended 30 September 2025 ('H1
FY26').
The Group's financial performance in H1 FY26 was in line with the Board's
expectations, with revenues of £347.0 million (H1 FY25: £330.9m), an
increase of approximately 4.9 per cent. on the prior period, despite the slow
pace of recovery in housing starts and RMI as well as the continuing delays in
Building Safety Regulator ('BSR') approvals, as noted in the Company's recent
AGM statement.
Our specialist teams across Bricks & Building Materials, Importing, and
Distribution divisions have each delivered year on year growth in both revenue
and EBITDA and our Contracting division continues to benefit from a multi-year
order book and pipeline of more than £150 million in aggregate, underpinned
by regulatory requirements in the fire remediation sector. The continuing
delays being experienced by the BSR have affected the phasing of some of our
fire remediation projects in the Contracting division such that we now expect
a greater proportion of the division's profit to be delivered in the second
half of the year when compared with the prior year.
The Board anticipates reporting H1 FY26 adjusted EBITDA(*) of approximately
£28.0 million (H1 FY25: £27.9m), stated before share-based payment expense
of £0.9 million (H1 FY25: £0.5m). Expectations for the full year remain
unchanged.
Net debt as at 30 September 2025 is expected to be approximately £67.0
million on a pre-IFRS basis (H1 FY25: £56.3m), after making deferred and
contingent consideration acquisition payments during the first half of £7.2
million.
