Full year profitability now expected to be towards the upper end of market expectations:
· Revenue growth achieved in the year-to-date, combined with a strong order book for Q4 2025, means full-year adjusted operating profit is now expected to be towards the upper end of market expectations1
· The Group's confidence is underpinned by the strength of Luceco's market position, manufacturing capability and cash generative business model
· CMD and D-Line synergy projects are progressing, driven by cost efficiency benefits through their integration to our lower cost manufacturing capabilities
· Operational efficiency also continues to improve at Luceco's key manufacturing centre
Commenting on the Q3 2025 performance, Chief Executive Officer, John Hornby said:
"Luceco's sustainable competitive advantages of superior channel access, agile product innovation capabilities, and vertically integrated manufacturing have supported double-digit revenue growth in the third quarter. As a result, Luceco is on track to achieve another year of strong revenue and profit growth and our profit expectations for the full year will now be towards the upper end of market expectations.
"During the quarter, our EV product offering remained in strong demand and our Link EV Chargers are now stocked through our market-leading distribution channels. Longer term, Luceco remains well positioned to deliver above market growth, driven by a combination of the structural opportunities from electrification, our sustainable competitive advantages and our clear, consistent strategy."
