RNS Number : 5041P  Reach PLC  20 January 2026

 
20 January 2026

Reach plc ("The Company") Trading update for the year ended 31 December 2025

 

Confident in delivering FY25 profit ahead of market expectations

 

Alongside strategic progress, the resilient performance of our print business
and continued cost control means that we expect to deliver ahead of current
market expectations for the full year.¹

 

Digital revenues for the full year are expected to be 1% lower than the prior
year (FY24: £130.0m). The factors affecting Q4 digital revenue are unchanged
from those outlined in our Q3 trading update. These include a material
reduction in Google referral volumes, alongside continued macroeconomic
weakness.

 

Piers North, Chief Executive:

"During the period we made significant strategic progress, notably launching
digital subscriptions, expanding video output and growing our off-platform
audiences. We look forward to the year ahead and thank our teams for their
efforts in delivering this year's results."

 

Results for the year ended 31 December 2025 will be announced on 3 March 2026.

 

 

Notes

¹ Market expectations compiled by the Company are an average of analyst
published forecasts - consensus adjusted operating profit for FY25 £99.1m.
