Full Year Trading Update 2025

 

Churchill China plc (AIM: CHH), the manufacturer of innovative performance
ceramic products serving hospitality markets worldwide, provides an update on
trading for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The Company is pleased to confirm that trading in the second half of the year
met its expectations, with turnover for the year at circa £76m and profit
before tax expected to be in line with market expectations*.

 

Trading in Europe during the second half was ahead of the prior year, with the
region ending the year broadly in line with 2024. We are confident that the
actions taken in sales and marketing in this region are having a positive
impact. Whilst the Company maintained market leader status in the UK, end
users were affected by adverse macro-economic factors during the year.
However, the run-in to Christmas was encouraging, with pub groups investing
ahead of the holiday period and the order pipeline at year end was ahead of
the prior year.

 

The USA ended the year ahead of 2024 despite the devaluation of the dollar in
the period. Performance of 'Rest of the World' was softer, as large projects,
on which this segment relies, were delayed and pushed out into later periods.

 

Materials performed well despite reduced sector volumes, although the decision
of a key UK customer to source their materials supply directly will influence
revenue going forward. However mitigating actions are expected to limit the
impact on profitability.

 

Cash at year end finished ahead of the Company's opening position at £10.8m.

 

*Company calculated analyst consensus profit before tax is £6.0m for 2025.
