The company remains optimistic about structural improvements and market share gains.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2026

In the recent call, Kingfisher provided guidance for the upcoming fiscal year, focusing on several key metrics. The company projects full-year adjusted profit before tax (PBT) between £480 million and £540 million, considering various cost mitigations and market growth scenarios. The guidance reflects a £33 million cost rebuild related to business rates refunds and a £10 million benefit from the sale of the Romanian business. They aim to offset approximately £145 million in higher inflation, wages, and taxes through gross margin and operating expense mitigations, which include structural cost and productivity initiatives. Additionally, Kingfisher expects to generate free cash flow between £420 million to £480 million, supported by inventory reductions and despite the reversal of some CapEx and creditor timing benefits. The Board has expressed confidence in the company's cash generation capabilities, announcing a new £300 million share buyback program.

Strong Free Cash Flow and Shareholder Returns

The company reported a strong free cash flow of £511 million, reflecting good progress in reducing inventory levels. It returned £453 million to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks, up 14% on the previous year, and announced a new £300 million share buyback program.

Growth in Trade and E-commerce Segments

TradePoint sales now represent 23.4% of B&Q, and trade penetration at Brico Dépôt is now 12.8%. E-commerce sales across the UK & Ireland were up 8.7%, and the e-commerce marketplace launched in Poland in January 2025 showed positive early results.

Margin Improvement and Cost Management

The gross margin increased by 50 basis points to 37.3%, and structural cost savings of £120 million were achieved. The company also managed to fully offset the profit impact of market decline in France through market share gains and cost reductions.

Market Share Gains in Key Regions

The company gained market share in all key regions, including the UK, France, and Poland, driven by strategic growth initiatives in trade and e-commerce.
