AGM Statement

 

At the Annual General Meeting of Personal Group Holdings Plc (AIM: PGH), the
workforce benefits and insurance provider, to be held today at 10:00 am at
John Ormond House, 899 Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, MK9 3XL, Martin
Bennett, Chair of the Company, will make the following statement:

 

"2025 was a strong year of execution, with the management team delivering
across a number of dimensions, including customer acquisition, partner
penetration and retention, supporting double digit revenue growth and an
EBITDA performance ahead of market expectations.

 

I am pleased to report the momentum achieved in 2025 has continued into the
current year. The Group has continued to deliver strong new insurance sales,
alongside benefits platform growth, including further penetration of the SME
market via our partnership with Sage. We have continued to progress and
explore partnership opportunities to broaden access to clients and are making
good ground with our new insurance partners, Sante and Simplyhealth, and new
benefits partner, EB Now.

 

This continued progress means the Board remains confident in the Group's
ability to deliver continued profitable growth in the year ahead, in line with
market expectations(*).

 

As previously announced, Sarah Mace is stepping down as Chief Financial
Officer from the end of this meeting, after 12 years of service. Sarah has
played a pivotal role in shaping and executing on our strategy, leaving the
business on a strong financial footing. On behalf of the Board, I would like
to thank her for her important contributions and wish her luck in her future
endeavours. Sarah will remain with the Company to ensure an orderly handover
to our incoming CFO, Matthew Cohen who we look forward to welcoming in the
coming months. Matthew brings deep financial
and insurance expertise and will be an important addition to the
leadership team as we continue to scale the business.

 

The relevance of our offerings remains high against a backdrop of increasing
financial pressure on employees. Our products continue to deliver meaningful
value, reflected in consistently strong retention rates across both partners
and customers, supporting a runway for future growth."

 

* For the purpose of this announcement, the Company believes market
expectations for FY 2026 to be Revenue of c.£54.4m and Adjusted EBITDA of
£14.1m.
