Resilient Performance: Despite tough market conditions, Eurocell delivered a resilient first half with adjusted operating profit up 9% and revenue up 10%, mainly driven by the Alunet acquisition.
Market Weakness: Core RMI (repair, maintenance, and improvement) demand remains subdued due to weak consumer confidence, with organic sales volumes down 2% and competitive pricing pressures.
Cost Control & Savings: Management delivered effective cost controls, including a branch restructure expected to generate GBP 2 million annualized savings and GBP 4 million total annualized cost reductions, most realized in 2025.
Alunet Outperformance: Alunet, acquired in March, performed strongly with sales up 36% and operating profit contribution ahead of initial guidance.
Lowered Outlook: Full-year outlook has been revised down due to trading in Q3 falling behind forecasts, with management guiding to flat organic performance plus Alunet's positive impact.
Shareholder Returns: Continued commitment to shareholder returns with GBP 7.3 million announced so far this year, including a 5% increase in interim dividend and ongoing share buybacks.
Digital & Strategic Progress: Digital sales grew 41%, with strategic initiatives like new branches, digital investment, and the door and window initiative showing positive momentum.
