AGM Trading Update

 

The Property Franchise Group PLC (AIM: TPFG), the UK's largest multi-brand
property franchisor, issues the following trading update ahead of its Annual
General Meeting to be held at 10:00am today.

TPFG continues to trade in line with the Board's expectations, with the Group
benefiting from a resilient, highly cash generative business model underpinned
by substantial recurring revenues across both its franchise and licensing
divisions. This strong level of recurring income provides good visibility over
future earnings and helps mitigate the impact of shorter-term cyclical
movements in the housing market.

The Board expects the implementation of the Renters' Rights Act in May 2026 to
increase the regulatory and operational burden on self-managed landlords,
creating a meaningful opportunity for professionally managed operators such as
TPFG. The Group is already seeing encouraging levels of enquiries from
self-managed landlords seeking support with compliance and property
management, and the Board believes this represents an attractive medium-term
growth opportunity for the Group's franchise network.

The Group has also continued to make strategic progress against its platform
development strategy. During the year to date, TPFG has completed the
acquisition of Smart Advice Financial Solutions Ltd, further strengthening the
Group's financial services capabilities. The Group has also made an investment
in Meridian HoldCo Limited, the parent of Legal & General Surveying
Services Limited, a highly complementary business which broadens the Group's
exposure across the wider property transaction ecosystem. The Board remains
encouraged by the strategic opportunities created through the continued
development of the platform model and believes this will support long-term
earnings quality and diversification, whilst retaining a resilient balance
sheet.

The Board remains confident in the Group's long-term positioning and its
ability to deliver on strategic opportunities, whilst continuing to adopt a
measured and disciplined approach in light of the broader macroeconomic
environment.
