EBITDA Margin ImprovementEBITDA rising to GBP 53.5m and a 10.1% margin shows the business can translate cost and mix actions into sustainable operating profitability. If maintained, higher margins strengthen internal cash generation, reduce reliance on external funding and improve resilience across cycles.
Operational Efficiency And Disciplined CapExShifting production (Belgium to Turkey), the Spain tile investment and reduced CapEx guidance reflect strategic redeployment and capital discipline. These structural actions should lower unit costs, lift future EBITDA (EUR15m at full capacity) and align investment to cash generative projects.
Strong Regional Market PositionsMarket strength in Australia and managed U.S. margins provide geographic diversification and pockets of durable demand. Regional leadership supports steadier revenue streams and pricing power in those markets, helping offset weakness elsewhere and aiding medium-term recovery.
