Kingfisher's earnings call highlighted strong financial performance in the first half, driven by strategic growth initiatives and robust trade and e-commerce sales. However, concerns remain regarding the subdued market in France, anticipated cost headwinds in the second half, and competitive promotional pressures.

Company Guidance

During Kingfisher plc's H1 2025-2026 results presentation, the company provided detailed guidance, raising its full-year profit and free cash flow expectations. The group anticipates reaching the upper end of its adjusted profit before tax range of GBP 480 million to GBP 540 million, supported by a 10.2% increase in adjusted profit before tax to GBP 368 million for H1. Free cash flow generation in the half was GBP 478 million, up 13.5%, leading Kingfisher to raise its full-year free cash flow guidance to GBP 480 million to GBP 520 million. The company's strong H1 results were driven by double-digit growth in trade and e-commerce sales, a 100 basis point gross margin accretion, and a well-executed marketplace strategy. The company also plans to accelerate its GBP 300 million share buyback program, aiming for completion by March 2026, due to robust free cash flow and positive cash inflows. Despite a challenging consumer environment, particularly in France, Kingfisher is optimistic about its strategic growth initiatives and confident in its operational momentum.
