PayPoint Plc FY24 Post-close Trading Update(1)
22 April 2024
Further progress for PayPoint Group
PayPoint Plc today issues an unaudited post-close trading update for the
financial year ended 31 March 2024.
The Group anticipates that underlying EBITDA will be in excess of £80m for
FY24, year end net debt below £70m and underlying PBT in line with
expectations, as outlined in our Q3 trading update issued on 24 January 2024.
The strength of this performance, underpinned by sustained strong cash flow
and our confidence in the delivery of continued growth and achieving our
financial targets, has enabled the Board to now have under active
consideration a share buyback programme to further enhance shareholder
returns. Details of this will accompany the announcement of PayPoint Plc’s
preliminary results for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 on 13 June
2024.
