Chief Executive Officer's review

Overview

Since joining the business in March 2026, my conviction in the Group’s purpose and long-term opportunity has only increased. We have trusted brands, a highly engaged customer base, rich proprietary customer data assets and differentiated operational capabilities. Together, these create a powerful platform from which to deliver sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.

At our core, we help customers celebrate, connect with and strengthen relationships with the people who matter most to them. Every day, millions of customers trust us with some of life’s most important moments, from birthdays and anniversaries to celebrations, milestones and acts of support. In a world increasingly shaped by technology and artificial intelligence, the human connections we help create feel more important than ever. This enduring need to stay connected underpins the resilience of our category and reinforces our confidence in the Group's long-term opportunity.

FY26 was a year of strong financial performance and operational progress. Revenue increased by 6.5% to £373.0m, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 8.1% to £104.6m and Adjusted EPS increased by 19.5% to 18.0 pence. We generated £73.5m of Free Cash Flow, enabling continued investment in the business while returning significant capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

The foundations of our strategy remain unchanged. We continue to operate within the same disciplined growth framework and financial model. This is focused on sustainable growth, strong cash generation and delivering attractive shareholder returns.

The sections that follow outline the progress made during FY26 and how we are pursuing these opportunities to create further value over time.

Leveraging data and technology

Our proprietary data assets are one of our most important sources of competitive advantage and an enabler of future growth. Our opportunity to increase customer frequency starts with helping customers remember and celebrate more occasions.

During FY26, our database of customer occasion reminders grew by 11.2% year-on-year to 113m, whilst Moonpig Plus and Greetz Plus memberships increased by 29.3% to 1.2m. These assets enable us to engage customers throughout the year, beyond the point of purchase. Our reminders proposition remains a significant differentiator, with around 40% of orders placed within seven days of an occasion reminder. Plus continues to strengthen customer loyalty and engagement, with members now accounting for around a quarter of Moonpig orders. Together, these capabilities deepen customer relationships, support higher purchase frequency and provide a strong platform for long-term growth. Looking ahead, we see further opportunities to enhance their effectiveness through greater personalisation and a deeper understanding of customer relationships, occasions and gifting intent.

Historically, we have used our data assets to improve recommendations, merchandising and customer engagement at scale. Increasingly, we are applying these capabilities at an individual customer level to deliver more relevant recommendations throughout the customer journey. We believe this represents a significant opportunity to improve discovery, increase conversion and strengthen customer engagement across a broader range of occasions.


We now have more than 40,000 card designs across Moonpig and Greetz. Within this range, helping customers discover the most relevant card is becoming increasingly important. During the year, we continued to improve search and discovery. A key step was the launch of dynamic card galleries, which personalise card collections in real time based on customer selections. For example, choosing “7 years” instantly updates every editable design to that age, helping customers find the right card more quickly and easily.


Over the past two years, we have invested significantly in technology features that help customers create more personal and meaningful greeting cards, including video messages and AI stickers. Adoption continues to grow, with creative features used in 31m greeting cards in FY26, an increase of 102% year-on-year. During the year, we continued this progress through the launch of Face Swap, which enables customers to merge a face from a photo into a greeting card image, alongside sticker placeholders and enhancements to the editing experience, including smarter text generation.

Our fulfilment capabilities remain strategically important. During FY26, we completed automated parcel sortation, brought giant card production in-house and introduced multi-gift fulfilment capabilities. These initiatives improve efficiency, increase operational flexibility and strengthen the customer experience.

As advances in AI continue to lower barriers to content creation, we believe the ability to reliably manufacture, personalise and deliver products at scale becomes increasingly important. Customers ultimately judge us not only by the quality of our creative tools, but by whether the right product arrives, on time, for the right person and occasion.

Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in technology features where they improve customer outcomes. However, we believe some of the biggest opportunities to strengthen our competitive advantage lie in the combination of our technology and operational capabilities, and in how we use data and personalisation to deepen customer relationships, increase frequency and grow customer lifetime value.

Building our brands

The strength of our brands is reflected in customer loyalty and our ability to acquire and retain customers profitably. In FY26, the total active customer base across Moonpig and Greetz increased by 2.8% year-on-year to 12.3m, with growth in both brands. This reflects the strength of our marketing platform, which continues to acquire customers at scale.

Reliable delivery is central to how our brands are perceived and remains an important and increasingly valuable source of competitive advantage. During FY26, we continued to enhance our delivery proposition, with tracked delivery now accounting for more than 40% of UK card-only orders, giving customers greater confidence that important moments will be celebrated on time. We also introduced a premium 8am to 1pm next-day gift delivery service and extended the cut-off for next-day flower delivery to a market-leading 11pm in the UK. This provides greater flexibility, choice and convenience for customers while further strengthening our service proposition. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in our delivery proposition, broadening the range of delivery options available to customers and recipients, enhancing choice and convenience, and further improving the end-to-end customer experience.

We are also building brand awareness in New Markets as the foundation for long-term growth. Total revenue across these markets grew by 33.0% to £15.7m in FY26 (FY25: £11.8m), comprising Ireland (£6.4m), Australia (£6.3m) and the US (£3.0m). We are prioritising Australia for incremental investment in customer acquisition, as we seek to establish a scalable and repeatable growth model that supports long-term expansion.

Evolving our range

One of our three growth drivers is increasing average order value, with growth in gift attachment remaining an important contributor to long-term growth. During FY26, gift attachment increased to 17.9% of orders (FY25: 17.7%), contributing to average order value growth of 5.7%.

Our focus is on building a more relevant, curated and trusted gifting proposition that complements the card journey and helps customers find the right gift for the right recipient. During FY26, we strengthened our gifting proposition through partnerships with trusted brands including expanding our partnership with Next through the launch of JoJo Maman Bébé, Next Flowers and Laura Ashley Flowers, while also broadening our range of Next products across homeware and fragrance. We also launched a new partnership with Boots, introducing products from its Liz Earle and Soap & Glory brands.

We continued to strengthen the local relevance of our proposition through new gifting brands and product formats. At Greetz, we introduced brands including Coco & Sebas, Zusss, Diep'r and Marcel's Green Soap, launched postcards and transitioned flower supply to our strategic fulfilment partner, enhancing both the customer proposition and operational efficiency. We also launched fresh flowers in Ireland and Australia, expanded local gifting ranges, introduced curated gift bundles and launched giant cards in Ireland, supporting higher gift attachment rates, card upsell and average order value growth.


At Experiences, we continued to strengthen the product range through new partnerships across casual dining, subscription gifting, social experiences, immersive experiences and days out, adding brands including PizzaExpress, Virgin Wines, F1 Arcade and The Traitors Live Experience.

More recently, our focus at Experiences has broadened beyond the product range to the recipient experience. We have made organisational changes to bring the Experiences business closer to the rest of Moonpig Group and expect this alignment to strengthen over time. With this in mind, we are focused on ensuring that product quality and the end-to-end recipient journey consistently meet the standards expected across the Group. While this should support continued improvement in gross transaction value and customer experience, revenue progression is likely to remain moderated by lower commission rates as we evolve the proposition.

Maintaining high ethical, environmental and sustainability standards

Our sustainability strategy focuses on three priority areas: climate change, waste and circularity, and technology security and data privacy, supported by four long-term goals.

On climate change, we remain focused on reducing emissions across our operations and supply chain. During FY26, location- based Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduced to 463 tCO2e (FY25: 530 tCO2e), representing a 32% reduction from our baseline.

Investments in renewable electricity meant our market-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 97% below the baseline level.

As at April 2026, supplier net-zero commitments covered 37.5% of our Scope 3 emissions (April 2025: 28.8%), while Scope 3 emissions intensity reduced by 2.3% year-on-year to 216 tCO2e per £1m of revenue in FY26.

Waste and circularity remain important priorities. During FY26, we established a packaging intensity baseline and introduced a target to reduce packaging intensity by 10% by 2030. Our Tamworth fulfilment facility achieved zero waste to landfill status, while we continued to expand FSC-certified sourcing across our operations. We also completed a Group-wide review of packaging materials and design, helping identify opportunities to reduce packaging usage, increase recyclability and improve resource efficiency over time.

Technology security and data privacy remain fundamental to maintaining customer trust. During FY26, we expanded multi-factor authentication, strengthened monitoring and threat detection capabilities, enhanced privacy controls and progressed implementation of an information security management system aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Our people remain central to the success of the Group. We continued to invest in employee development, wellbeing and inclusion while strengthening health and safety oversight across our operations. During the year, we maintained a zero recordable injury rate, increased female representation on our Group Extended Leadership Team to 45% (FY25: 41%) and improved gender diversity within our product, data and technology function, where 47% of new hires were female (FY25: 44%). We also delivered on the Group’s commitment to invest £1m in charities through the Moonpig Group Foundation during the five years following our IPO and remain committed to supporting charitable causes through the Foundation in the years ahead.

Looking ahead

As we look ahead, we see significant opportunities to unlock further value from the assets and capabilities we have already built. Our focus is centred around three areas:

Capital expenditure increased to £15.9m for the year (FY25: £13.3m) driven primarily by higher purchases of tangible fixed assets. This reflected investment at our primary UK fulfilment centre in Tamworth in new printing machinery to support the insourcing of giant card production and automation equipment for package sortation to enable multiple fulfilment options for gifts.

Capitalisation of intangible assets increased modestly to £11.8m (FY25: £11.0m). The technology capitalisation rate at Moonpig returned to more typical levels following a number of projects in FY25 that primarily comprised SaaS configuration costs that did not qualify for capitalisation under IFRS. This was partly offset by a planned reduction in capital expenditure at Experiences.

There has been no change in the Group's accounting policies or practices relating to the capitalisation of costs as internally generated intangible assets. We continue to amortise internally generated intangible assets over a relatively short useful life of three years.

Net debt

Net debt at 30 April 2026 increased to £108.1m (April 2025: £96.0m). Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as total borrowings, including lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA at 30 April 2026 is

1.03x (30 April 2025: 0.99x), in line with our target of 1.0x.

1 Borrowings are stated net of capitalised loan arrangement fees and hedging instrument fees of £1.2m as at 30 April 2026 (30 April 2025: £1.8m).


The Group’s debt facilities consist of a £180.0m committed revolving credit facility with a maturity date of 28 February 2029. Borrowings are subject to interest at a margin over the reference rate of 200bps for net leverage of 1.0x or lower and 225bps for net leverage of 1.5x or lower. Thereafter they step up based on a margin ratchet to 300bps for net leverage above 2.5x. Facility covenants are tested semi-annually and comprise a maximum net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0x and minimum Adjusted EBITDA interest cover ratio of 3.5x.

The Group hedges its interest rate exposure on a rolling basis. At the reporting date, layered SONIA interest rate cap instruments are in place with strike rates of between 4.0% and 4.5% on total notional of £75.0m until 31 October 2027. Further details are set out at Note 21.

Capital allocation

Our capital allocation policy remains unchanged. Investment to support organic growth – including continued investment in technology development, customer acquisition and automation in operations – remains the highest priority. This is followed by dividends, then selective, value-accretive M&A, where there is a strong strategic rationale, and finally the repurchase of shares where excess capital is available. Our organic growth priorities are appropriately funded and significant M&A is not currently part of our strategy. As a result we continue to return excess capital to shareholders.

1 Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a non-IFRS measure. FCF is defined as net cash generated from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities; it is not adjusted to exclude bank interest received (as a practical expedient and for greater consistency with IAS classification of cash flows).

2 The Group repurchased £60.2m (FY25: £25.0m) of its own shares for cancellation (inclusive of fees and taxes). Of this amount, £60.5m (FY25: £24.3m) was paid during the year to the corporate broker managing the share repurchase programme, with £0.5m (FY25: £0.7m) remaining payable as at 30 April 2026.

During the year, the Board declared an interim dividend of 1.25 pence per share (FY25: 1.0 pence). The Board is recommending a final dividend of 2.5 pence (FY25: 2.0 pence) which, if approved at the 2026 AGM, will be paid on 19 November 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 23 October 2026. This would result in total dividends for FY26 of 3.75 pence per share (FY25: 3.0 pence), equating to an estimated total dividend distribution of approximately £11.4m and dividend cover of 4.8x based on Adjusted Basic EPS. This is dependent on issued share capital at the next record date. The Company's dividend policy is to maintain robust dividend cover of between 3x and 4x in the medium term, with dividends growing at least in line with Adjusted basic EPS.

During the year, two share buyback programmes were executed on behalf of the Group, repurchasing a total of 27,692,903 (FY25: 11,377,505) ordinary shares for consideration of £60.2m (FY25: £25.0m), including duty and expenses of £0.4m (FY25: £0.2m).

The shares repurchased represented approximately 8.0% of opening issued share capital. The average effective purchase price was 217.4 pence per share (FY25: 219.7 pence). Cash outflows in FY26 relating to share repurchases totalled £60.5m (FY25:

£24.3m), with the difference to consideration reflecting opening and closing payables relating to settlement timing. The number of shares cancelled during the period was 27,779,906, with the difference to shares repurchased reflecting the timing of transfers to the registrar for cancellation. The Group intends to carry out further share buybacks of up to £65m in FY27, through two programmes of up to £32.5m in each of H1 and H2.

Share purchases by the EBT are in addition to the Group’s share buyback programmes. In FY26, the EBT purchased 2,708,481 shares for aggregate consideration of £5.8m, including stamp duty and expenses. Since the start of the new financial year, the EBT has purchased a further 1,996,871 shares for aggregate consideration of £4.3m. These purchases were intended to cover all anticipated exercises of employee share options across calendar years 2025 and 2026 under discretionary and non-discretionary schemes. The Group intends to continue settling obligations under employee share plans using market-purchased shares, subject to prevailing share prices.

Distributable reserves

As at 30 April 2026, the Company balance sheet held distributable reserves of £490.5m (April 2025: £558.5m), comprising retained earnings and the share-based payments reserve. The Company's ability to distribute capital depends on parent company reserves rather than consolidated reserves.

Whilst the consolidated balance sheet shows net liabilities, a key factor contributing to this is the £993.0m merger reserve – a debit balance in equity arising from the pre-IPO reorganisation, accounted for under common control merger accounting. Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recognised at their existing carrying amounts rather than at fair value and no goodwill was recognised. The difference between the consideration paid and the book value of net assets acquired was recorded directly in equity within the merger reserve.

This accounting treatment was selected in preference to acquisition accounting in order to reflect the continuity of ownership and to present the Group's financial results on a basis that preserved the historical track record of the underlying trading entities. Had acquisition accounting been applied, the identifiable net assets would have been remeasured at fair value and a significant goodwill asset would likely have been recognised, increasing net assets and potentially resulting in the Group reporting positive net assets. However, such treatment would not have reflected the substance of a restructuring within a commonly controlled group.

Outlook for FY27

Since the start of the year, trading across the Group has been in line with expectations. Our expectations for FY27 remain unchanged.

Consistent financial framework

Our goal is to deliver sustainable, high-quality growth supported by strong returns and consistent capital allocation. We are targeting mid-to-high single digit percentage annual revenue growth and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25% to 27%. We aim to deliver double-digit percentage growth in Adjusted earnings per share alongside continued returns of excess capital to shareholders.

Technical guidance


Share-based payment expenses

Share-based payment expenses in FY26 reflect approximately £2.8m of lower costs arising from the resignation of the former CEO, comprising £1.7m of expense that would otherwise have been recognised in FY26 and the release of £1.1m accrued over the two preceding financial years.

In FY27, we expect share-based payment expenses relating to CEO remuneration to return to more typical levels, reflecting the incoming CEO buyout arrangements. As a result, we expect the overall charge to increase. Share-based payment expenses remain inherently sensitive to assumptions and may vary, including based on the outcome of non-market performance conditions.

Depreciation and amortisation

We expect depreciation and amortisation to be between £18m and £20m in FY27. This includes the depreciation of tangible fixed assets (including right-of-use assets) and amortisation of internally generated intangible assets. It excludes amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Adjusting Items

Amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets is treated as an Adjusting Item. Based on the estimated useful lives of trademarks and customer lists arising on business combinations, we expect acquisition amortisation to be approximately £6.5m in FY27, £6.3m in FY28 and £5.7m in FY29.

Net finance costs

We expect net finance costs to increase in FY27, reflecting the higher reference interest rates indicated by SONIA forward curves and additional drawdown on our borrowing facilities in line with growth in Adjusted EBITDA to maintain net leverage at approximately 1.0x.

Taxation

We expect an effective tax rate of between 25% and 26% of reported profit before taxation in FY27 and thereafter. The adjusted taxation charge excludes credits relating to the unwind of deferred tax liabilities recognised on acquisition-related intangible assets, consistent with the treatment of the related acquisition amortisation.

Capital expenditure

Our target for tangible and intangible capital expenditure remains approximately 4% to 5% of revenue, with FY27 expected to sit in the lower half of this range. Within this we expect continued investment in tangible fixed assets as we further develop our operations and fulfilment capabilities, reflecting the strategic importance of these areas to the Group.

Working capital

We expect the Experiences merchant accrual to vary broadly in line with trading performance in the segment. Other working capital balances are expected to reflect overall Group revenue growth trends.

Net leverage

We expect IFRS 16 net leverage to be approximately 1.0x as at 30 April 2027, calculated as the ratio of Net Debt (calculated on an IFRS 16 basis, including lease liabilities) to last twelve months' Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is expected to be modestly higher at 31 October 2026, reflecting the second-half weighting of Free Cash Flow and the distribution of capital returns across the year. The Group targets net leverage of around 1.0x. We retain the flexibility to move beyond this where required.

1 General information

Moonpig Group plc (the “Company” or “Parent Company”) is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006, whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 April 2026 comprise the Company and its interests in subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered address is Herbal House, 10 Back Hill, London, EC1R 5EN, England, United Kingdom. The Company’s LEI number is 213800VAYO5KCAXZHK83.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Moonpig Group plc have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

All figures presented are rounded to the nearest thousand (£000), unless otherwise stated.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and under the historical cost convention modified by revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit and loss.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control exists when the Group has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities of an entity and has the ability to affect the returns the Group will receive as a result of its involvement with the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation.

The financial statements of all subsidiary undertakings are prepared to the same reporting date as the Company. All subsidiary undertakings have been consolidated.

The subsidiary undertakings of the Company as at 30 April 2026 are detailed in Note 27.

Consideration of climate change

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management has considered the potential impacts of climate change, in the context of the TCFD disclosures within the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026, in the following areas:

As part of our disclosure against the TCFD framework, we have undertaken quantitative scenario analysis of the Group's two principal transition-related climate risks which are disclosed within the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026. The risk of carbon taxation has been incorporated into the sensitivity analysis supporting the viability, going concern and impairment assessments. The risk of shifting consumer sentiment has not been modelled due to the significant uncertainty surrounding behavioural and market response assumptions. These uncertainties make any attempt to quantify a specific financial impact highly speculative and no such estimate can be meaningfully determined at this stage.

Going concern

The Group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Strategic report of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026.

While the Group reported net current liabilities of £86,604,000 (2025: £80,705,000) and net liabilities of £54,221,000

(2025: £33,217,000), these positions do not reflect underlying liquidity concerns. The net current liability position is primarily attributable to the timing of settlement of operating liabilities, which form part of the Group's normal working capital cycle. The net liability position is largely driven by the £993,000,000 merger reserve debit arising from the pre-IPO group reorganisation accounted for under common control merger accounting. The Group continues to generate positive operating cash flow and finished the year with liquidity headroom of £81,200,000 (2025: £95,816,000), comprising gross cash and unutilised committed facilities.

The Group's debt facilities consist of a £180,000,000 committed revolving credit facility (the "RCF"), which has a maturity date of 28 February 2029. Amounts drawn under the RCF bear interest at a floating reference rate plus a margin. The reference rates are SONIA for loans in Sterling, EURIBOR for loans in Euros and SOFR for loans in US Dollars. As at 30 April 2026 the Group had drawn down £104,000,000 and €4,500,000 of the available revolving credit facility (2025: £93,000,000 and €4,500,000).

The Group hedges its interest rate exposure on a rolling basis. As at the current date, several layered SONIA interest rate cap instruments are in place with strike rates of between 4.0% and 4.5% on total notional of £75,000,000 until 31 October 2027. Further details are set out at Note 21.

  1. General information continued

    Going concern continued

    The RCF is subject to two covenants, each tested at six-monthly intervals. The leverage covenant, measuring the ratio of net debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based payments, as specified in the facilities agreement), is a maximum of 3.0x for the remaining term of the facility. The interest cover covenant, measuring the ratio of last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based payments, as specified in the facilities agreement) to the total of net bank interest payable and interest payable on leases, is a minimum of 3.5x for the term of the facility. The Group has complied with all covenants since entering the RCF until the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and is forecast to comply with these during the going concern assessment period.

    To support the Group’s assessment of going concern, detailed trading and cash flow forecasts, including forecast liquidity and covenant compliance, were prepared for the 12-month period from the date of signing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

    The Directors have also reviewed the severe but plausible scenario described within the viability statement of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026 in relation to the most severe of the three scenarios modelled. In this scenario, the Group continues to have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence. In the event that more severe impacts occur, controllable mitigating actions are available to the Group should they be required.

    The Directors also reviewed the results of reverse stress testing performed throughout the going concern and viability periods, to provide an illustration of the extent to which existing customer purchase frequency and levels of new customer acquisition would need to deteriorate in order that their cumulative effect should either trigger a breach in the Group’s covenants under the RCF or else exhaust liquidity. The probability of this scenario occurring was deemed to be remote given the resilient nature of the business model and strong cash conversion of the Group.

    After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

    Critical accounting judgements and estimates

    In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.

    The areas of judgement which have the greatest potential effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are:

    Useful life of internally generated assets

    The estimated useful lives which are used to calculate amortisation of internally generated assets (the Group’s platforms and applications) are based on the length of time these assets are expected to generate income and be of benefit to the Group. The uncertainty included in this estimate is that if the useful lives are estimated to differ from the actual useful lives of the intangible assets, this could result in accelerated amortisation in future years and/or impairments. The economic lives of internally generated intangible assets are estimated at three years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. If the useful life of internally generated assets were estimated to be shorter or longer by one year, than the current useful life of three years, the net book value would (decrease)/increase by £(5,874,000)/£6,168,000 from the amount recognised as at 30 April 2026. The amounts of and movements in such assets are set out in Note 12.

    Experiences merchant accrual

    At Experiences, which acts as an agent at the point of sale, the merchant accrual has been identified as a significant estimate. When a voucher is purchased, the expected value of future amounts that will become payable to merchant providers is recognised on the balance sheet. The Group takes into account historical redemption rates when estimating future payments to merchant providers, with the span between the upper and the lower ends of the range in historical trends for these rates equivalent to a

    £2,803,000 movement in the amount recognised in revenue. The Group's FY26 actual non redemption estimate falls in the middle of this range. The estimates are adjusted for actual customer utilisation rates in the year in which the vouchers expire.

    Carrying amount of Experiences goodwill

    Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The critical accounting estimate made in the calculation of the recoverable amount is:


    Sensitivity analysis and further disclosure relating to this critical accounting estimate is set out in Note 12.

  2. Summary of significant accounting policies

    New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 May 2025

    The following amendment is effective for the year beginning 1 May 2025:

  3. Segmental analysis

    In accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, the Group's reportable segments are based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker (CODM) for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance.

    Operating segments are components of the Group that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenue and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available.

    The CODM comprises the Executive Directors (CEO and CFO) and other members of the Group Leadership Team. The CODM reviews discrete financial information for each segment and assesses performance and resource allocation based on revenue, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT.

    Based on internal reporting, the Group has three reportable segments: Moonpig, the online greeting cards and gifts business operating in the UK, Ireland, Australia and the US; Greetz, the online greeting cards and gifts business in the Netherlands; and Experiences, the gift experiences platform in the UK.

    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are alternative performance measures (APMs) and are not defined under IFRS. Adjustments are made to the statutory IFRS results to arrive at an underlying result which is in line with how the business is managed and measured on a day-to-day basis. Adjustments are made for items that are individually important in order to understand the financial performance. If included, these items could distort understanding of the performance for the year and the comparability between periods. Management applies judgement in determining which items should be excluded from underlying performance. See Note 6 for details of these adjustments.

    Finance income and expense are not allocated to reportable segments, as treasury activities are managed centrally and are not included in the measures reviewed by the CODM.

    The Group’s revenue is primarily derived from the sale of cards, gifts and related services to consumers, or from the distribution of gift experiences acting as agent. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Group’s revenue during the year.

    1. Amortisation of intangible fixed assets excludes the charge for amortisation of acquired intangibles of £7,589,000 (2025: £7,851,000) which is classified as an Adjusting Item as set out in Note 6.

    2. Other costs contain the remaining expenses that are immaterial in nature or immaterial on a disaggregated basis. Other costs include IT maintenance, building costs, ancillary staff costs and auditors' remuneration. Other costs also include a foreign exchange profit of £1,000 (2025: loss of £135,000).

    3. There have been no changes to the numbers that were disclosed in the previous year, but the prior year figures in the table above have been represented to include additional information regarding nature of expenses charged to operating profit.

Amortisation of acquired intangibles (arising on business combinations) is excluded from Adjusted earnings because they are non- operational and therefore distort the underlying performance of the business.

There was no cash paid in the year in relation to Adjusting Items (2025: £6,004,000). The prior period cash payment relates to the settlement of pre-IPO one-off compensation arrangements, including employer NI contributions, that vested in FY24. There was no charge to the income statement during FY26 or FY25.

The Group’s employees are members of defined contribution pension schemes with obligations recognised as an operating cost in the income statement as incurred.

The Group pays contributions into separate funds on behalf of the employee and has no further obligations to employees. The risks associated with this type of plan are assumed by the member. Contributions paid by the Group in respect of the current year are included within the consolidated income statement.

    Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in each jurisdiction.

    Expressed as a percentage of Adjusted profit before taxation, the Adjusted effective tax rate was 25.0% (FY25: 23.7%). The prior year effective tax rate was lower than the prevailing rates of corporation tax due to the positive impact of deferred tax movements relating to share-based payment arrangements, driven by changes in the Group's share price (refer to Note 6 and Alternative Performance Measures).

    In addition, the Directors are proposing a final dividend in respect of the year ended 30 April 2026 of 2.50 pence per share (2025: 2.00 pence per share) subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. This would result in total dividends for the year ended 30 April 2026 of 3.75 pence per share (2025: 3.00 pence) equating to an estimated dividend distribution of approximately £11.4m (based on the number of shares as at 30 April 2026). The final dividend will be paid on 19 November 2026 to all shareholders registered at the close of business on 23 October 2026. The proposed final dividend was not yet approved as at the year end and therefore, in accordance with IAS 10 'Events after the Reporting Period', it has not been accrued as a liability at 30 April 2026.

  2. Earnings per share

The EBT acquired 2,708,481 ordinary shares during the year (2025: nil), which are used to satisfy future employee awards. In accordance with IAS 33, these shares are treated as treasury shares and are excluded from the weighted average number of shares in issue from the date of acquisition until they are transferred to employees. Although shares held by the EBT are not treasury shares under UK company law, they are treated as treasury shares for the purposes of IAS 33 and excluded from the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue until such time as they are transferred out of the trust. On transfer, these shares are included in the weighted average number of shares in issue.

The Group has potentially dilutive ordinary shares arising from share options granted to employees under the share schemes as detailed in Note 22 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted earnings per share

Earnings attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group for the year, adjusted to remove the impact of Adjusting Items and the tax impact of these; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

  1. Technology and development costs include assets under construction of £5,125,000 (2024: £4,735,000).

  2. The opening balance of gross cost and accumulated depreciation was restated to reflect the transfer between customer relationships and technology and development costs of fully-amortised Greetz technology costs and their subsequent disposal. The asset had a nil net book value as at 1 May 2023 and therefore there was no impact to the income statement or balance sheet.

Goodwill, trademarks and customer relationship assets relate to the acquisitions of Greetz in 2018 and Experiences in 2022, and were recognised on business combinations. Technology and development costs at Moonpig and Experiences relate to internally developed assets; the costs of these assets include capitalised expenses of employees working full-time on software development projects and third-party consulting firms. Software intangible assets include accounting and marketing software purchased by the Group and software licence fees from third-party suppliers.

The remaining useful economic lives of these assets are as follows:

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to two cash-generating units (CGUs), namely the Greetz and Experiences segments, based on the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows independently in relation to the specific goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is determined as the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use (VIU). In determining VIU, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value.

The Group performed its annual impairment test of the goodwill allocated to the Greetz and Experiences segments, as at 30 April 2026. The estimated future cash flows are based on the approved plan, including the FY27 budget, for the three years ending 30 April 2029. The estimated future cash flows are identical to those used for the viability statement. They have been extended by a further two years before applying a perpetuity using an estimated long-term growth rate. When estimating value in use, the Group does not include estimated future cash flows that are expected to arise from improving or enhancing the asset’s performance.

The long-term growth rates and pre-tax discount rates used to calculate the value in use are set out in the table below:

1 The discount rate is a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash generating units. The pre-tax discount rates used to calculate value in use are derived from the Group’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital.

2 The long-term growth rate is used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the five year plan period.


There continues to be positive headroom for the goodwill allocated to the Greetz CGU as at 30 April 2026 and there is no reasonable possible change in key assumptions, including those relating to future sales performance, that would lead to an impairment.

The impairment review undertaken as at 30 April 2026 for the Experiences CGU indicated that there was positive headroom when comparing the value in use calculation to the carrying value of the CGU (FY25: an impairment charge of £56.7m was recognised). Headroom on the goodwill allocated to the Experiences CGU of £18.4m represents an increase since both 30 April 2025 (£1.6m) and 31 October 2025 (£3.4m) reflecting cost reductions implemented in H1 FY26, a sustained improvement in trading from November 2025 onwards and further reductions in operating expenses and capital expenditure implemented during the final quarter of the year.

The impairment assessment remains a major source of estimation uncertainty based on the sensitivity analysis and has a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount within the year ending 30 April 2027. In accordance with paragraph 125 of IAS 1, the FY26 year-end accounts therefore disclose the quantification of all key assumptions in the value in use estimates and the impact of plausible changes in each key assumption.

Annual impairment tests continued

Goodwill continued

The Group has identified the following key assumption as having the most significant impact on the Experiences value in use calculation:


Experiences CGU


2026

2025

Revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR)1

1.4%

2.7%

1 The compound annual growth rate represents the average yearly growth rate over the pre-perpetuity period.


The revenue compound annual growth rate of 1.4% (historical rates of 0.1% as at 31 October 2025 and 2.7% as at 30 April 2025) is based on our assessment of current and expected market conditions, informed by external sources, adjusted to reflect historical under-performance versus market forecasts and the anticipated impact of the Group's strategy on future growth.

The Group has performed sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of a change in the key assumption on the VIU.

The Group modelled the impact of a decrease in forecast revenue growth. The revenue sensitivity reflects a reduction of 10% in the first year of the forecast period, commencing 1 November, 5% for the following 18 months, 2.5% for the following 12 months and then flat in the remaining pre-perpetuity growth period. This results in a 4.0%pts decrease in the forecast revenue CAGR.

The sensitivity applied is consistent with the more severe downside scenario (plausible scenario 2) prepared in connection with the viability statement within the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026.

The results of this sensitivity analysis is summarised below:

1 The compound annual growth rate represents the average yearly growth rate over the pre-perpetuity period. As at 31 October 2025, the Group adopted a more conservative revenue CAGR assumption for sensitivity analysis, reflecting H1 performance. Whilst the Group delivered a materially improved revenue performance in H2, the sensitivity assumptions have been left unchanged. Should this improvement be sustained, the sensitivity scenarios may be revised in future periods.


The Group assessed the change in the forecast revenue CAGR that would be required for the recoverable amount to equal the carrying amount. A reduction of 0.8%pts in the forecast revenue CAGR, after considering the consequential impact on the cash flows used in the VIU calculation, would eliminate the remaining headroom and result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying value of the CGU.

In addition, the Group assessed the impact on the value in use calculation of a 1%pt increase in the discount rate. The discount rate was not identified as having a significant impact on the value in use calculation; under this scenario headroom reduced from

£18.4m to £13.3m (2025: headroom reduced from £1.6m to an impairment of £2.5m).

In both the key assumption sensitivity, breakeven and discount rate scenarios, no mitigating actions have been modelled within the forecasted cashflows.

Scenario analysis performed as part of the Group’s disclosure against the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) (in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026) identified two transition-related climate risks with potential revenue and cost implications. The analysis considered three scenarios: business as usual (>4oC by 2100); an unequal world (2.5oC by 2100); and the Paris Agreement Aligned (1.5oC by 2050), with the most material risks arising under the Paris Agreement Aligned scenario:

Finite-life intangible assets

At each reporting year date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of other finite-life intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Trade receivables represent amounts due from customers for services provided in the ordinary course of business. They are typically due for settlement within 30 days and are therefore classified as current assets. The Group recognises a loss allowance for trade receivables in accordance with IFRS 9, measured using the expected credit loss model to reflect the estimated lifetime credit losses on outstanding balances.

Other receivables comprise accrued income, representing the Group’s right to consideration for services provided but not yet invoiced at the reporting date and rebates receivable from suppliers.

Prepayments represent amounts paid or invoiced in advance for goods or services relating to future periods. The movements in provisions are as follows:

Trade and other receivables are primarily denominated in the functional currencies of subsidiary undertakings. There is no material difference between the above amounts for trade and other receivables (including loan receivables) and their fair value due to their contractual maturity of less than 12 months.

As permitted by IFRS 9, the Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics such as ageing of the debt and the credit risk of the customers. A historical credit loss rate is then calculated and adjusted to reflect expectations about future credit losses. A customer balance is written off when it is considered that there is no reasonable expectation that the amount will be collected and legal enforcement activities have ceased.

The Group’s credit risk on trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to trade receivables. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk since the risk is spread over a large number of unrelated counterparties.

The Group’s businesses implement policies, procedures and controls to manage customer credit risk. Outstanding balances are regularly monitored and reviewed to identify any change in risk profile.

The Group considers credit risk of its receivables to be low with Group revenue derived from electronic payment processes (including credit card, debit card, PayPal, iDEAL and Single Euro Payments Area), with most receipts reaching the bank accounts in one to two days.

At 30 April 2026, the Group had net trade receivables of £1,644,000 (2025: £1,468,000). Trade receivables are reviewed regularly for any risk of impairment and provisions are booked where necessary.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is the trade receivable balance at the year-end. The Group has assessed its exposure below:

Current other payables primarily represents amounts due under the Group’s share buyback programme in respect of shares purchased in the open market by the Group’s broker that remain unsettled at the reporting date.

Current trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. There are no material differences between the above amounts for trade and other payables and their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Payables balances relating to the Experiences merchant accrual are separately disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.

Non-current other taxation and social security comprises the employer NI obligations arising on share-based payment awards. The liability is measured at the reporting date based on the Company’s share price and reflects amounts expected to be settled more than twelve months after the reporting date.

19 Contract liabilities

In all material respects, current deferred revenue at 30 April 2025 and 30 April 2026 was recognised as revenue during the respective subsequent year. Other than business-as-usual movements there were no significant changes in contract liability balances during the year. Deferred revenue includes the value of advanced orders for future dispatch, the value of goods in transit that are dispatched but not yet delivered and subscription income that has been received and is to be recognised as future revenue in line with the exercise of material rights by subscription members.

The Group's debt facilities consist of a £180,000,000 committed revolving credit facility (the "RCF"), with a maturity date of

28 February 2029. Amounts drawn under the RCF bear interest at a floating reference rate plus a margin. The reference rates are SONIA for loans in Sterling, EURIBOR for loans in Euros and SOFR for loans in US Dollars. As at 30 April 2026 the Group had drawn down £104,000,000 and €4,500,000 of the available revolving credit facility (2025: £93,000,000 and €4,500,000). There was a foreign exchange loss on borrowings during the year of £65,000 (2025: £90,000 gain).

Certain Group companies have given a guarantee in respect of the Group's £180,000,000 revolving credit facility. The guarantees expose the guarantor entities to potential obligations in the event of default under the facility arrangements.

The Group hedges its interest rate exposure on a rolling basis. As at the date of this report, layered SONIA interest rate cap instruments are in place with strike rates of between 4.0% and 4.5% on total notional of £75.0m until 31 October 2027.

The RCF is subject to two covenants, each tested at six-monthly intervals. The leverage covenant, measuring the ratio of net debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based payments, as specified in the facilities agreement), is a maximum 3.0x for the remaining term of the facility. The interest cover covenant, measuring the ratio of last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based payments, as specified in the facilities agreement) to the total of bank interest payable and interest payable on leases, is a minimum of 3.5x for the term of the facility. The Group has complied with all covenants since entering the RCF until the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and is forecast to comply with these during the going concern assessment period.

Volatility assumptions

The fair values of the DSBP awards are equal to the share price on the date of award as there is no price to be paid and employees are entitled to dividend equivalents. For awards with a market condition, volatility is calculated over the period commensurate with the remainder of the performance period immediately prior to the date of grant. For all other conditions, volatility is calculated over the period commensurate with the expected term. Volatility is calculated using the historical information of the Company's share price.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

The first grant of these awards was made on 1 February 2021 and vested on 2 July 2024. Half of the share awards granted are subject to a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance condition measured against the constituents of the FTSE 250 Index (excluding Investment Trusts). The other half of the share awards granted are subject to an Adjusted basic pre-tax EPS performance condition (calculated as Adjusted profit before taxation, divided by the undiluted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year). Participants are also required to remain employed by the Group over the vesting period, with a further holding period applying until the fifth anniversary of grant for the Executive Directors. An attrition rate adjustment has been applied to reflect the expected number of participants who will forfeit their awards before vesting. This estimate is based on historical attrition rates and is reviewed at each reporting date. The share-based payment expense is adjusted accordingly, with any expenses recognised in the income statement. Activity in relation to these awards during the period included new awards granted on 1 July 2025 under the existing scheme which will vest on 1 July 2028 subject to the performance conditions being met.

Consistent with the existing scheme, participants are required to remain employed by the Group over the vesting period. Vesting may arise sooner where a former employee is a “good leaver” and the Remuneration Committee exercises discretion to permit vesting after cessation of employment.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) continued

The outstanding number of share options at the end of the year is 7,717,504 (2025: 11,514,466), with an expected maximum vesting profile (stated net of forfeitures since award) as follows:

The significant increase of share options that have been forfeited during this financial year is primarily attributable to 2,697,422 (2025: £nil) shares lapsing due to the departure of the former CEO. Additionally 1,414,452 shares lapsed as a result of performance conditions that were not met in relation to the July 2022 and October 2022 awards.

The decrease in the number of shares granted this financial year in comparison to the previous year is due to no shares being granted to the CEO (2025: 967,268) as well as the effect of the increase in the share price on awards granted.

The weighted average market value per ordinary share of LTIP options exercised during the year was £2.13 (2025: £1.83).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of LTIP awards outstanding at the year end was 1.98 years (2025: 2.42 years).

Deferred Share Bonus Plan (DSBP)

The Group has bonus arrangements in place for Executive Directors and certain key management personnel within the Group whereby a proportion of the annual bonus is subject to deferral over a period of three years with vesting subject to continued service only. Vesting may arise sooner where a former employee is a “good leaver” and the Remuneration Committee exercises discretion to permit vesting at cessation of employment. An attrition rate adjustment has been applied to reflect the expected number of participants who will forfeit their awards before vesting. This estimate is based on historical attrition rates and is reviewed at each reporting date.

The outstanding number of share options at the end of the year is 316,989 (2025: 540,885), with an expected vesting profile (stated net of forfeitures since award) as follows:

£nil) shares lapsing due to the departure of the former CEO.

The weighted average market value per ordinary share of DSBP options exercised during the year was £2.15 (2025: £2.05).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of DSBP awards outstanding at the year end was 1.64 years (2025: 1.15 years).

Save As You Earn (SAYE)

The Group operates a SAYE scheme for all eligible employees, under which participants are granted an option to purchase ordinary shares in the Company at an option price set at a 20% discount to the average market price over the three days prior to the invitation date. Options vest after a three-year period, provided the participant enters into a savings contract with fixed monthly contributions for the same duration. The FY23 awards were granted on 8 September 2022 and vested on 1 October 2025, with a six-month exercise period following vesting. These awards are subject only to a continued employment condition over the vesting period. During the year, the Group granted FY26 awards on 24 July 2025, which will potentially vest on 1 October 2028 on the same terms.

The outstanding number of share options at the end of the year is 942,023 (2025: 1,059,706), with an expected vesting profile (stated net of forfeitures since award) as follows:

The weighted average remaining contractual life of SAYE awards outstanding at the year end was 0.89 years (2025: 1.39 years).

Pre-IPO awards

The original awards were granted on 27 January 2021 and comprised two equal tranches, with the vesting of both subject to the achievement of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA performance conditions for the year ended 30 April 2023 and for participants to remain employed by the Company over the vesting period. The Group exceeded maximum performance for both measures.

Accordingly, the first tranche vested on 30 April 2023 and was paid in July 2023; the second tranche vested on 30 April 2024 and was paid in May 2024. Given the constituents of the scheme, no attrition assumption was applied. The scheme rules provided that when a participant left employment, any outstanding award may have been reallocated to another employee (excluding the Executive Directors). All previous awards vested on 30 April 2024 and all shares outstanding at the beginning of the period were exercised in FY25. There were no further shares granted during the period and this incentive scheme has now ended.

The weighted average market value per ordinary share of pre-IPO options exercised during the year was £nil (2025: £1.77).

The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital, share premium, merger reserve, retained earnings, own shares held reserve, share-based payment reserve, foreign exchange translation reserve, hedging reserve and capital redemption reserve. Quantitative detail is shown in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The Directors’ objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for the shareholder and benefits for other stakeholders.

Called-up share capital

Ordinary share capital represents the number of shares in issue at their nominal value. Ordinary shares in the Company are issued, allotted and fully paid up.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. The shareholding as at 30 April 2026 is:

The Group undertakes share repurchase programmes through resolutions passed by the Company's shareholders. At the September 2025 AGM, a resolution was passed to repurchase up to maximum of 33,014,540 of its ordinary shares (September 2024 AGM: 34,362,148).

Called-up share capital continued

The Group executed two share buyback programmes during the year ended 30 April 2026, the first commenced on 2 May 2025 and the second on 7 November 2025. All shares repurchased were transferred to the registrar for cancellation, either during the year or shortly following the year-end. Upon cancellation the consideration was transferred from the own shares held reserve to retained earnings and the nominal value of the shares transferred from share capital to the capital redemption reserve. Across the two programmes, activity was as follows:

In the year ended 30 April 2026, nil ordinary shares (2025: 1,597,155) were issued for the settlement of share-based payments. From the start of FY26 the Group has transitioned to settling obligations under employee share plans through market purchases of shares, subject to the prevailing share price. As a result, the settlement of these awards did not give rise to an increase in the Company issued share capital.

Share premium

Share premium represents the amount over the par value which was received by the Company upon the sale of the ordinary shares. Upon the date of listing the par value of the shares was £0.10 whereas the initial offering price was £3.50. Share premium is stated net of direct costs of £736,000 (2025: £736,000) relating to the issue of the shares.

Merger reserve

The merger reserve of £993,026,000 arose as a result of the Group reorganisation undertaken prior to the Company's listing on the London Stock Exchange. This reorganisation was accounted for using common control merger accounting. Under this method, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recognised at their existing carrying amounts rather than at fair value and no goodwill was recognised. The difference between the consideration paid and the book value of net assets acquired was recorded directly in equity within the merger reserve.

This accounting treatment was selected in preference to acquisition accounting in order to reflect the continuity of ownership and to present the Group's financial results on a basis that preserved the historical track record of the underlying trading entities. Had acquisition accounting been applied, the identifiable net assets would have been remeasured at fair value and a significant goodwill asset would likely have been recognised, increasing net assets and potentially resulting in the Group reporting positive net assets. However, such treatment would not have reflected the substance of a restructuring within a commonly controlled group.

The adoption of common control merger accounting has resulted in the recognition of a significant merger reserve on consolidation. The merger reserve is a debit balance within equity arising from the application of merger accounting and is a significant contributor to the Group's reported net liabilities position.

Own shares held reserve

The own shares held reserve represents the equity account used to record the cost of the Company's own shares that have been repurchased and either subsequently cancelled or held in treasury by the Group's EBT. These shares are not considered outstanding for the purposes of calculating earnings per share and do not carry voting rights or the right to receive dividends while held by the Company.

The EBT acquires and holds shares in the Company for the purpose of satisfying obligations arising under the Group’s share-based payment schemes. During the financial year, the Group transitioned to settling obligations under employee share schemes through market purchases of shares. Awards exercised during the period were therefore satisfied using shares held by the EBT. The EBT is consolidated in the Group’s financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, as the Group is considered to control the trust. When awards vest or are exercised, the EBT transfers the relevant shares to employees. This settlement does not result in the issue of new shares and therefore does not increase the Company’s issued share capital. As at

30 April 2026 the EBT held 2,018,713 shares, representing 0.66% of our called-up share capital.

Shares purchased for cancellation are included in the own shares held reserve until cancellation, at which point the consideration is transferred to retained earnings and the nominal value of the shares is transferred from share capital to the capital redemption reserve.

Other reserves

Other reserves represent the share-based payment reserve, the foreign currency translation reserve, the hedging reserve and the capital redemption reserve.

Share-based payment reserve

The share-based payment reserve is built up of charges in relation to equity-settled share-based payment arrangements which have been recognised within the consolidated income statement. Upon the exercise of share options, the cumulative amount recognised in the share-based payment reserve is recycled to retained earnings, reflecting the transfer of value to the equity of the Company.

Hedging reserve

The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred and the cumulative net change in the fair value of time value on the cash flow hedging instruments.

Other reserves continued

Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve represents the accumulated exchange differences arising since the acquisition of Greetz from translating subsidiaries with a functional currency other than Sterling.

Capital redemption reserve

The capital redemption reserve reflects the nominal amount of shares bought back and cancelled.

    The fair values of each class of financial assets and liabilities is the carrying amount, with the exception of borrowings, based on the following assumptions:


    Trade receivables and trade payables (including other receivables and payables)

    The fair value approximates to the carrying amount, primarily because of the short maturity of these instruments.

    Experiences merchant accrual

    The fair value approximates to the carrying amount because the merchant accrual is measured at the present value of estimated future voucher redemptions discounted at the incremental borrowing rate at inception, which reflects market interest rates for liabilities with similar terms and credit risk. As a result, there is no material difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the merchant accrual.

    Interest rate caps

    The fair value is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows at a market rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the instrument.

    Lease liabilities

    The fair value approximates to the carrying amount because the lease liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate at inception, which reflects market interest rates for liabilities with similar terms and credit risk. As a result, there is no material difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the lease liabilities.

    The fair values of bank loans and other loans approximate to the carrying value, as reported in the balance sheet, gross of amortised costs of £1,238,000 (2025: £1,848,000). This is because most borrowings are at floating interest rates, with payments reset to market rates at intervals of less than one year.

    Fair value hierarchy

    Financial instruments carried at fair value are required to be measured by reference to the following levels:

    1. Risk management framework

      In line with the Group's Risk Appetite statement, it aims to manage financial risk prudently by balancing cost efficiency with acceptable risk. It does not use financial instruments for speculation and retains discretion to hedge exposures within the limits of its Treasury Policy.

    2. Credit risk

      Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a counterparty fails to discharge its contractual obligations under a customer contract or financial instrument.

      • The Group’s credit risk from its operations primarily arises from trade and other receivables. This risk is assessed as low, as the balances are short maturity, arise principally as a result of high volume, low value transactions and have no significant concentration as there is no counterparty balance that represents a significant credit risk concentration.

      • The Group’s credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is considered to be low. Financial assets are held with bank, financial institution or government counterparties that have a long-term credit rating of A3 or higher from Moody’s Investor Services and/or a long-term credit rating of A- or higher from Standard & Poor’s. The Group’s treasury policy is to monitor cash (when applicable deposit balances) daily and to manage counterparty risk whilst also ensuring efficient management of the Group’s RCF.

        Further information on the credit risk management procedures applied to trade receivables is given in Note 15 and to cash and cash equivalents in Note 16. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents shown in those notes represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

    3. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

Cash flow forecasting is performed centrally with rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements regularly monitored to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. The Group’s revenue model results in a strong level of cash conversion allowing it to service working capital requirements.

The Group’s sources of borrowing for liquidity purposes comprise a committed RCF of £180,000,000, which has a maturity date of 28 February 2029. Lease liabilities are also reported in borrowings.

Liquidity risk management requires that the Group continues to operate within the financial covenants set out in its facilities. The RCF is subject to two covenants, each tested at six-monthly intervals. The leverage covenant, measuring the ratio of net debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based payments, as specified in the facilities agreement), is a maximum of 3.0x for the remaining term of the facility. The interest cover covenant, measuring the ratio of last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA (excluding share-based payments, as specified in the facilities agreement) to the total of bank interest payable and interest payable on leases, is a minimum of 3.5x for the term of the facility. Covenant forecasting is performed centrally, with regular monitoring to ensure that the Group continues to expect to meet its financial covenants.

    1. For the purpose of these tables, borrowings are defined as gross borrowings excluding lease liabilities and fair value of derivative instruments.

    2. Consists of trade and other payables that meet the definition of financial liabilities under IAS 32 (excluding merchant accrual, which is split out separately above).


      IFRS 7 requires contractual undiscounted cash flows relating to financial liabilities to be disclosed in the table above. As disclosed in Note 21, the Group's borrowings are drawn under a revolving credit facility. For the purposes of the contractual cash flow disclosure, the borrowings are presented in the period in which repayment is contractually due under the terms of the facility. The contractual interest cash flows associated with these borrowings are based on forecast utilisation of the facility and estimated future SONIA and EURIBOR rates over the expected life of the borrowings. As a result, the interest amounts disclosed above represent management's estimate of future interest cash flows and may differ from the actual amounts ultimately paid.

      The merchant accrual contractual cash flows amount due within one year represents the undiscounted gross value. The contractual cash flows being due within one year is different from the forecast cash flow profile used to discount the liability under IFRS 9.

      Amounts are due when the customer redeems the voucher which is outside of the control of the Group, hence its classification as a current liability and its contractual cash flows being within one year. However, historical redemption periods show that actual redemptions differ from the contractual period and therefore on a forecast basis the cash flows span more than one year, as a result the liability is discounted.

      It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

Hedge ineffectiveness arises where movements in the hedging instrument do not fully offset movements in the underlying hedged exposure. No hedge ineffectiveness requiring recognition in finance expense arose during the year (2025: £nil).

Moonpig Group's primary floating rate interest exposure as at 30 April 2026 related to the SONIA reference rate. Gains and losses recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve in equity on interest rate cap contracts as at 30 April 2026 will be released to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as the related interest expense is recognised.

Market risk sensitivity analysis

Financial instruments affected by market risks include borrowings and deposits.

The following analysis, required by IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in market variables, being Sterling/Euro interest rates and Sterling/Euro exchange rates.

The sensitivity analysis assumes reasonable movements in foreign exchange and interest rates before the effect of tax. The Group considers a reasonable interest rate movement in SONIA or EURIBOR to be 1% based on current interest rate projections.

Similarly, sensitivity to movements in Sterling/Euro exchange rates of 10% are shown, reflecting changes of reasonable proportion in the context of movement in that currency pair over the last five years.

The following table shows the illustrative effect on profit before tax resulting from a 10% change in Sterling/Euro exchange rates:

Capital risk management

Capital risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to sustain its operations in the long term due to an inability to secure sufficient capital or maintain an adequate return on capital investment. This encompasses financing risk (the risk that the Group cannot raise necessary funds to continue its operations or finance expansion activities) and cost of capital risk (associated with fluctuations in the cost of capital, which may influence investment decisions and affect long-term strategic planning).

The Group’s capital management objectives are focused on maintaining investor confidence and supporting the sustainable development of the business. The Group will always prioritise growth investment in the business and our consistent strong operating cash generation and the progress provides financial flexibility to return incremental excess capital to shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases.

25 Commitments and contingencies

The Group entered a financial commitment in respect of a supplier of cut flowers of £290,000 (2025: £213,000) and rental commitments of £252,000 (2025: £91,000) which are due within one year.

During the year the Group entered a financial commitment in respect of future stock purchases of £1,372,000 (2025: £1,912,000). These purchases are spread across three years and will be settled by November 2027.

Transactions with related parties

There were no related party transactions requiring disclosure in the year ended 30 April 2026.

The following matters, which have arisen since the balance sheet date, represent non-adjusting events under IAS 10 and are therefore disclosed due to their materiality. They have not been reflected in the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2026:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Group’s operating performance and debt servicing ability. It is calculated as operating profit adding back depreciation and amortisation and Adjusting Items (Note 6 of the Group financial statements).

Depreciation and amortisation can fluctuate, is a non-cash adjustment and is not linked to the ongoing trade of the Group.

Adjusting Items are excluded as management believe their nature distorts trends in the Group’s underlying earnings. This is because they are often one-off in nature or not related to underlying trade.
