The Rank Group Plc, a subsidiary of Guoco Group Limited, reported interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025 showing broad-based revenue and profit growth across its venues and digital businesses.

The Group also strengthened its balance sheet, with net cash (pre-IFRS 16) climbing 63% to £39.4 million and return on capital employed improving to 15.9%.
