Year End Trading Update
Eurocell plc announced that its year-end trading for 2025 is expected to be in line with expectations, with group revenues reaching £403.6 million, a 13% increase driven by the acquisition of Alunet, while organic revenues remained flat year-on-year with a 2% decrease in organic volumes. The Profiles division saw a 1% sales increase, while the Branch Network division experienced a 1% sales decrease, though strategic initiatives within the latter showed positive growth. The company expects pre-IFRS 16 net debt to be around £22 million by year-end, down from £29 million mid-year, representing leverage of 0.7x pre-IFRS 16 EBITDA. Eurocell also plans further investments in IT infrastructure and new branches, and has completed £4.5 million of its £5 million share buyback program. Disclaimer*

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n22 January 2026\nEUROCELL PLC\n(\"Eurocell\" the \"Group\" or the \"Company\")\nYear End Trading Update - Performance In Line With Expectations\n \nEurocell plc, the leading UK manufacturer and distributor of window and door products to the trade, provides the following update for the year ended 31 December 2025.\n \nSummary\nWe expect sales and adjusted profit before tax for the year ended 31 December 2025 to be in line with expectations (subject to audit).\n \nTrading conditions have remained subdued, with challenging macroeconomic conditions and weak consumer confidence continuing to impact both the repair, maintenance and improvement market (RMI) and new build housing. These trends were compounded in the fourth quarter of the year, with increasing uncertainty over the Autumn Budget announcements driving a further slowdown. \n \nGroup revenues for 2025 were up 13%, enhanced by the acquisition of Alunet in March, which continues to perform strongly. Organic revenues for the year were level with 2024, due to further progress of our growth strategy, which we are pleased to see coming through in the sales performance of our key initiatives.\n \nWe have faced ongoing competitive pressure on selling prices in the branches, as well as overhead cost inflation across the business. Our focus remains on further operational improvements and cost reduction initiatives to drive greater efficiencies and to mitigate against the impact of weaker markets.\n \nTrading Performance\nGroup sales for the year ended 31 December 2025 were £403.6 million, up 13% on 2024, or flat excluding Alunet, with organic volumes 2% lower.
