RNS Number : 1043C  Travis Perkins PLC  28 April 2026

28 April 2026

 

Travis Perkins plc, the UK's largest distributor of building materials,
announces its first quarter trading update for the three months to

 31 March 2026

 

The Group has continued to experience challenging trading conditions in the
first quarter with Group revenue down (1.7)% on a like-for-like basis.

 

In the Merchanting segment revenue was down (2.3)% on a like-for-like basis as
construction activity levels remain subdued. Against this market backdrop
these businesses are making progress in passing through manufacturer price
increases and delivering further procurement benefits, whilst continuing to
maintain market share in the General Merchant. The network change of (1.9)%
reflects the disposal of Staircraft in 2025.

 

Toolstation UK had a solid first quarter with like-for-like revenue growth of
2.6%. The business continues to see maturity benefits from its estate and is
delivering further margin growth through the evolution of its range and offer.
Toolstation Benelux had a challenging first quarter with like-for-like revenue
down (7.1)%.

 

Looking forward the Group remains focused on managing its overheads and
identifying further operational efficiencies, whilst ongoing capital
discipline and incremental cash generation opportunities are continuing to
enhance the Group's financial position.
