Gear4music beats expectations with strong growth and AI-driven expansion

Gear4music (Holdings) ( (GB:G4M) ) has shared an update.

Gear4music reported a strong full-year performance for the 12 months to 31 March 2026, with total sales rising 30% to £190.7m, driven by 26% UK growth and 36% growth in Europe and the Rest of the World. Gross margin improved to an expected 28.4%, while EBITDA is set to be at least £18.1m and profit before tax at least £9.7m, both ahead of consensus expectations.

The Group further reduced net bank debt to £5.0m despite £3.6m of spend on its new UK warehouse, for which the lease completed on 1 April 2026 and fit-out is progressing on time and on budget. Recently launched AI-driven tools for inventory forecasting, digital promotions and customer support are already aiding growth, and early FY27 trading remains strong and in line with market expectations, underlining management’s confidence in building on FY26’s financial progress.
