Johnson Service ( (GB:JSG) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Johnson Service Group reported a 4.3% rise in 2025 revenue to £535.4m, driven by modest organic growth in both HORECA and workwear and supported by price increases and efficiency gains. Adjusted operating profit climbed 16.4% to £72.5m, lifting margins to 13.5%, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 31.2% and leverage remained conservative at 0.95 times.
The company increased its full-year dividend by 20% and completed £55m of share buybacks in early 2026, taking total buybacks since 2022 to £90.3m, even as net debt rose to £159.2m due to capital investment and shareholder returns. Management highlighted resilient volumes amid economic uncertainty, falling energy intensity, and continued operational efficiencies, and said the Group is well positioned for another year of growth in 2026 as it targets an adjusted operating margin of at least 14%.
