Future plc reported that trading for the four months to 31 January 2026 was broadly in line with expectations, keeping the group on track to meet market forecasts for the full year, with performance weighted to the second half. In its B2C division, direct digital advertising in the UK and US continues to improve and is expected to deliver year-on-year growth in the first half, although programmatic advertising and eCommerce revenues remain under pressure amid softer audience trends, while magazine revenues remain resilient. The Go.Compare price-comparison business is seeing a moderating revenue decline, particularly in car insurance, but profitability is being squeezed by market-wide PPC inflation, and the recently relaunched Renewal insurance app wallet is aimed at supporting future growth. B2B revenue is improving in the second quarter with mixed performance across end-markets, and group leverage is temporarily higher due to dividends, ongoing share buybacks and the SheerLuxe acquisition, with management expecting leverage to fall in the second half on the back of strong cash generation. The £30m buyback programme is progressing, with about £5m of shares repurchased so far, and the company is actively reviewing its portfolio to ensure all assets contribute to its platform strategy and to return excess cash to shareholders, underscoring its focus on sustainable value creation and reinforcing its market positioning through the complementary acquisition of lifestyle platform SheerLuxe.

Future plc has agreed to acquire 100% of UK digital publisher SheerLuxe Ltd and BLUSH Talent MGMT Ltd for an initial £39.9 million in cash, in a deal that strengthens its position in women’s fashion, beauty and lifestyle media. SheerLuxe, a fast-growing ‘Google-zero’ brand with 6 million followers across social media, newsletters, websites and podcasts and a strong Gen Z skew, generated £12.6 million of revenue and £5.1 million of EBITDA (c.40% margin) in the 12 months to September 2025, making the acquisition an earnings-accretive bolt-on at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.8x. Future expects to drive synergies by applying its commercial scale, ad and affiliate capabilities and products such as Collab and Future Optic, while using its US infrastructure to launch SheerLuxe in the United States, further bolstering its Fashion & Beauty vertical alongside titles such as Marie Claire and Who What Wear. The transaction, funded from existing facilities with around £3 million of additional annual interest cost and a capped total consideration of £80 million tied to ambitious growth targets and management retention, fits Future’s strategy of using high-cash-flow generation to both de-lever and return excess capital to shareholders through buybacks while sharpening its portfolio around brands that benefit from its platform effect.
