|% Change Since: -6.86%
|Next Earnings Date:Sep 23, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed performance for Kingfisher with notable successes in trade and e-commerce growth and strong cash generation, but faced challenges with declining sales, decreased profits, and losses in international segments. Improvements in market share and encouraging trends in big-ticket sales were positive, yet offset by difficulties in the French market and other international operations.Company Guidance
In the recent call, Kingfisher provided guidance for FY '25-'26, highlighting several key metrics. The company expects full-year adjusted profit before tax (PBT) to range between £480 million and £540 million, following a 7% decline to £528 million in the previous year. Free cash flow is projected to be between £420 million and £480 million, supported by inventory reductions, which contributed to a strong £511 million free cash flow in FY '24. The company plans to return £453 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, including a new £300 million buyback program, reflecting a 14% increase from the prior year. Kingfisher's net debt stands at just over £2 billion, with net leverage at 1.6x EBITDA, maintaining a solid balance sheet to support these initiatives. The company also projects a flat to low single-digit growth in the UK & Ireland home improvement market, a potential low to mid-single-digit decline in France, and a low single-digit growth or decline in Poland.Growth in Trade and E-commerce
