(Alliance News) - Yu Group PLC on Tuesday said it expects its order book and revenue to continue to grow during 2026 as it supplied more energy in 2025.
The Nottingham, England-based gas and electricity supplier and smart meter installer said pretax profit was GBP49 million in 2025, up 8.9% from GBP45 million in 2024.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation edged up 4.1% to GBP51 million from GBP49 million.
Revenue climbed 8.4% to GBP700 million from GBP646 million, as equivalent volume of energy supplied rose 14% to 2.5 terawatt hours from 2.2 TWh.
The total contract order book rose 40% to GBP1.4 billion in 2025 from GBP1.0 billion in 2024. For 2026, the firm expects it to grow 25% to over GBP1.75 billion by the end of the year.
Yu proposed a final dividend of 45 pence per share, up 9.8% from 41p a year ago. This brings the total payout for 2025 to 67p, up 12% from 60p.
Looking ahead, the company said "strong" momentum from 2025 continued into 2026 with "record" revenue, Ebitda and cash balance in the first quarter of 2026, despite market uncertainty.
The firm expects revenue between GBP850 million and GBP875 million for 2026, between 21% and 25% higher than in 2025. Further, adjusted Ebitda and pretax profit in 2026 are expected to be in line with 2025.
The company said that growth of underlying profitability was "tempered by overhead investment to support future growth opportunity."
Yu added it has GBP668 million contract revenue at the end of 2025 for 2026 delivery with commodity prices expected to fluctuate dependent on geopolitical and macroeconomic factors. This was up 18% from GBP566 million a year ago.
Yu shares fell 3.9% to 1,710.00 pence each on Tuesday afternoon in London.
