The earnings call presented a mixed outlook. Despite strong cash flow and shareholder returns, alongside improvements in gross margin and market share gains in key regions, the company faced challenges with declining sales and profits, particularly in France and international segments.

Company Guidance

In the recent call, Kingfisher provided detailed guidance for the upcoming fiscal year, emphasizing financial discipline and strategic growth initiatives. The company reported a slight decline in total sales by 0.8% in constant currency, with like-for-like sales down by 1.7%. Despite this, gross margin improved by 50 basis points to 37.3%, and free cash flow remained strong at £511 million. The company returned £453 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, a 14% increase from the previous year. Kingfisher also announced a new £300 million share buyback program, reflecting confidence in future cash generation. The outlook for the next fiscal year includes an expected adjusted profit before tax between £480 million and £540 million, with free cash flow projected between £420 million and £480 million. The company plans to continue focusing on cost discipline, cash generation, and leveraging growth opportunities in trade and e-commerce across its markets.
