An update from Chapel Down Group plc ( (GB:CDGP) ) is now available.
Chapel Down reported strong 2025 results, with net sales revenue up 19% to £19.4m and adjusted EBITDA (excluding biological fair value movements) up 25% to £3.7m, driven by double-digit wine-related sales growth across Off-Trade, On-Trade, international and direct-to-consumer channels, and a return to profit before tax. Gross margin dipped to 47.1% due to channel mix and higher 2022 harvest costs, while net debt rose to £12.4m as the group invested in new plantings, maturing stock and its Tenterden brand home, supported by ample headroom on its £20m revolving credit facility.
The company advanced its premiumisation agenda, with Traditional Method sparkling wines now 74% of wine-related revenue and an above-average 2025 harvest delivering a non-cash P&L benefit, reinforcing its ability to support future growth. Management highlighted strong early trading in 2026, plans to step up marketing spend to build brand equity and market share, and a strategic focus on brand enhancement, channel expansion and disciplined capital management, positioning Chapel Down for sustained double-digit growth and greater resilience through economic cycles.
