Company Guidance -

Q4 2025

During the 2025 Interim Results Presentation, Howden reported a robust performance in a challenging market, with group sales rising by 3.2% to GBP 998 million, and an adjusted growth rate of 4.3% considering fewer trading days. The U.K. kitchen market share increased, helping mitigate an overall market size decline. The gross profit reached GBP 620 million, with a gross margin of 62.1%, up by 130 basis points. Operating costs climbed by GBP 28 million to GBP 498 million, influenced by strategic investments and higher labor costs. EBIT stood at GBP 121 million, with profit before tax at GBP 117 million. The company maintained a strong balance sheet, ending with GBP 321 million in cash, despite significant investments and a share buyback program. International sales also showed growth, particularly in France and Ireland. Looking ahead, Howden plans to open around 25 new depots and refurbish 60 existing ones while focusing on strategic initiatives to maintain its competitive edge. The guidance for 2025 anticipates continued market challenges but remains optimistic about further market share gains and shareholder returns.
