Group prospects
The Group's performance in the first half of the year provides a solid foundation for FY2026. Looking ahead to the year ending 30 June 2026, the Group anticipates an improved performance compared to the year ended 30 June 2025, and remains focused on disciplined capital allocation, including working capital optimisation, operational excellence and continued execution on our strategy to deliver sustainable value to shareholders.
Both earnings per share and headline earnings per share are expected to grow by double-digits for the full year, underpinned by improved trading and a reduction in net finance costs.
We remain confident that our net debt to EBITDA ratio will stay below 1.5 times, underpinned by strong cash generation and prudent working capital management.
While these indicators reflect a favourable outlook, the Group remains mindful of external factors that may influence performance. These include geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, currency volatility, changes in interest rates and non-controllable legislation.
