Trading update summary5 Feb, 2026

Trading performance and outlook

  • Group performance for the first four months aligns with expectations, with full-year results anticipated to meet market forecasts and a stronger second half expected.

  • Direct digital advertising revenue in the UK and US continues to grow year-on-year, while programmatic advertising and eCommerce face challenges due to lower audience trends.

  • Magazines revenue remains resilient, and B2B revenue is improving in the second quarter, though performance varies by end-market.

  • Go.Compare's revenue decline is moderating, especially in car insurance, but profitability is pressured by PPC inflation; the Renewal app has relaunched.

Financial position and capital allocation

  • H1 leverage is expected to be higher due to dividend payments, share buybacks, and the SheerLuxe acquisition, but leverage should decrease in H2 with strong cash generation.

  • £30m share buyback program is underway, with £5m repurchased so far.

  • FY 2026 consensus: revenue £745m, adjusted EBITDA £224m, adjusted EPS 132p.

Strategic initiatives and portfolio management

  • Acquisition of SheerLuxe complements the portfolio and supports the platform effect.

  • Ongoing review of portfolio to ensure all assets contribute to platform value and to return excess cash to shareholders.

  • Strategy centers on growing engaged audiences, diversifying and increasing revenue per user, and optimizing the portfolio.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
