Half Year Trading Update
Trading in line with full year expectations
Brickability Group plc (AIM: BRCK), a leading distributor and provider of specialist products and services to the UK construction industry, issues the following trading update for the six-month period ended 30 September 2025 ('H1 FY26').
The Group's financial performance in H1 FY26 was in line with the Board's expectations, with revenues of £347.0 million (H1 FY25: £330.9m), an increase of approximately 4.9 per cent. on the prior period, despite the slow pace of recovery in housing starts and RMI as well as the continuing delays in Building Safety Regulator ('BSR') approvals, as noted in the Company's recent AGM statement.
Our specialist teams across Bricks & Building Materials, Importing, and Distribution divisions have each delivered year on year growth in both revenue and EBITDA and our Contracting division continues to benefit from a multi-year order book and pipeline of more than £150 million in aggregate, underpinned by regulatory requirements in the fire remediation sector. The continuing delays being experienced by the BSR have affected the phasing of some of our fire remediation projects in the Contracting division such that we now expect a greater proportion of the division's profit to be delivered in the second half of the year when compared with the prior year.
The Board anticipates reporting H1 FY26 adjusted EBITDA* of approximately £28.0 million (H1 FY25: £27.9m), stated before share-based payment expense of £0.9 million (H1 FY25: £0.5m). Expectations for the full year remain unchanged.
Net debt as at 30 September 2025 is expected to be approximately £67.0 million on a pre-IFRS basis (H1 FY25: £56.3m), after making deferred and contingent consideration acquisition payments during the first half of £7.2 million.

The Group expects to announce its results for the six months ended 30 September 2025 on 25 November 2025. A virtual presentation for analysts will be hosted at 09.30am GMT on the day of results.
