Genuit reported revenue of £198.5m for the four months to 30 April (-0.4% YoY; like-for-like -8.7%) and cited wet weather and the Middle East conflict as drivers of lower volumes and higher polymer and freight costs. Revenue in the Middle East fell by around 50%; the climate and water technology divisions recorded like-for-like declines of 9.7% and 8.2% respectively. The company expects adjusted operating profit for H1 to be broadly in line with last year at £44.6m, is accelerating cost-reduction measures (£4–5m p.a.) and is targeting a margin improvement of 60–70 basis points by 2027. For full-year 2026 the board expects adjusted operating profit at the lower end of analysts’ estimates, provided the Middle East conflict and the macro backdrop settle down. » Plus sur de.investing.com

Genuit Group reported FY2025 revenue of £602 million, up about 7% (c.3% organic), and underlying operating profit of £94.4 million while underlying margin fell 70 basis points to 15.7% due mainly to higher employment costs.

Management flagged a subdued start to FY2026 with weather-affected activity but reiterated medium-term targets to outgrow the market and lift operating margin above 20%. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
