Full Year Trading Update
Christie Group plc anticipates a full-year 2025 performance significantly exceeding upgraded expectations, with revenues from continuing operations projected to surpass £70.0m, up from £59.2m in 2024, and operating profit from continuing operations expected to exceed £6.5m, a substantial increase from £3.5m in 2024. This strong outcome is attributed to a 40% surge in December transaction volumes and improved average fees, alongside robust growth in international operations and its Professional and Financial Services division, even with challenging conditions in the UK hospitality sector impacting its Stock and Inventory Systems and Services division. The company concluded the year with a cash balance exceeding £9m and, despite a conservative outlook for 2026 profit growth due to strong 2025 deal completion, anticipates continued demand for its services.
