    Results summary


Since the start of the year, trading across the Group has been in line with our expectations, including strong Father’s Day trading. Moonpig is growing at double-digit levels and Greetz revenue is in line with the prior year. At Experiences, we continue to build on recent operational momentum.

For FY26, we expect Group Adjusted EBITDA to grow at a mid-single digit percentage rate and growth in Adjusted earnings per share at between 8% and 12%, with continued strong free cash flow generation funding ongoing investment in our growth strategy and consistent returns to shareholders.

With respect to the medium term, we continue to target double-digit revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25% to 27% and mid-teens growth in Adjusted EPS.

Nickyl Raithatha, CEO, commented

"We are pleased to report a year of strong Adjusted EPS growth and high free cash flow, driven by the ongoing strength of the Moonpig brand. Our performance reflects the power of our business model and the benefits of our sustained investment in technology, data and AI to help our customers express themselves in ever more meaningful and personalised ways. Today, one in three cards created on Moonpig and Greetz features at least one of our innovative personalisation features – from AI handwriting to audio and video messages. Since launching AI-generated stickers for the inside of cards in February our customers have already created over four million unique images.

We recently celebrated Moonpig’s 25th birthday and we were delighted to mark this by reaching half a billion items sold since we were founded. Our database of customer occasion reminders has grown to more than 100 million and we are rapidly approaching one million members of the Moonpig Plus subscription scheme, with both milestones demonstrating the engagement and loyalty of our customers.

We have maintained strong trading momentum since our year-end, with Moonpig delivering its biggest ever Father’s Day, exceeding sales at the peak of lockdown in 2020. Looking ahead, Moonpig Group’s clear market leadership puts us in a strong position to capitalise on the long-term shift to online."

Business review Overview

FY25 marked another year of successful delivery for Moonpig Group, as we reinforced our position as the category-defining platform for greeting cards and gifting. We are the clear market leader in online cards in both the UK and the Netherlands, holding a 70% share of the UK online single cards market and around 65% in the Netherlands through Greetz (source: OC&C, October 2024). These positions reflect the compounding advantages of our platform, built on a powerful combination of brand strength, scale and proprietary data. Our position was further reinforced by extending our strategic asset of occasion reminders to more than 101 million and deepening our powerful network effect through reaching recipients with over 50 million personalised cards and gifts.

We operate in a structurally high-growth and underpenetrated market. The online card market is still in its infancy, with only 6% penetration by volume and 15% by value in the UK. We are driving and capturing this long-term secular shift from offline to online through innovation in technology and data. In FY25, we continued to extend our UK market leadership. At Greetz, the technology platform is increasingly delivering operational and commercial benefits and we exited the year on an encouraging trajectory. Across our markets, our cards-first strategy and innovations in online experience position us to lead and accelerate the ongoing channel shift.

Our platform leverages data, technology and AI to build customer loyalty and grow customer cohort value over time. Nearly nine tenths of Moonpig and Greetz revenue comes from existing customers, with technology playing a central role in driving repeat behaviour. In FY25, we continued to expand the reach and impact of both our reminders ecosystem and the Plus subscription membership programme and launched new AI-powered tools to further differentiate our offering from the offline market. Together, these capabilities have strengthened customer growth and loyalty, which are key contributors to our revenue growth.

We continue to demonstrate the strength of our asset-light, growth-compounding business model, which enables us to scale efficiently while maintaining high margins. Growth is driven by three compounding levers: more active customers, higher purchase frequency, and rising average order value – particularly through gift attachment. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.6% in FY25 reflects high gross margins and low reliance on paid acquisition. With low inventory, negative working capital and modest capex we are structurally asset light. This model supports disciplined reinvestment in technology, marketing and fulfilment automation, while generating Free Cash Flow of £66.1m in FY25. For the year ahead, we expect this to enable significant capital returns to shareholders whilst maintaining year-end net leverage at approximately 1.0x.

We continued to pursue our strategy of self-funded international expansion in Ireland, Australia and the US with combined revenue from these markets growing by 36.1% to £11.8m. Each market follows a structured path from discovery to product-market fit and, if successful, ultimately to profitable growth. Ireland has reached profitability in its second full financial year of operation and, while still small, continues to grow steadily – validating our phased approach. In Australia and the US, which are at an earlier stage of development, we are applying Group capabilities while localising when essential. Our small, agile teams in both markets are focused on rapid iteration, testing and optimisation, aiming to establish sustainable and profitable unit economics over time. Early signs are encouraging and support our long-term conviction in the opportunity that these markets represent.

We enter FY26 with strong operational momentum and a clear focus on strategic priorities. At Moonpig and Greetz we will continue to scale the active customer base, to drive frequency by leveraging reminders, Plus subscriptions and innovative technology features, and to build on recent strong momentum in gift attach rate. The Experiences segment continues to face a challenging market environment, with a proposition more exposed to cyclical pressures than the rest of the Group. The transformation of Experiences will continue, with encouraging progress underway in expanding the product proposition and enhancing the customer experience. Our platform, underpinned by resilient customer behaviour, leading technology and disciplined execution, positions us to continue delivering sustained growth and shareholder value.

Leveraging data and technology

We harness technology and data to drive growth in two principal ways. First, we continuously improve our user experience through high-frequency experimentation. Each month, we run numerous controlled tests, presenting feature variants to segmented customer groups. These experiments measure impact on KPIs such as conversion and order value, with successful variants deployed and used to guide future prioritisation. Second, we apply AI to our proprietary customer data to deliver a more personalised journey. By combining this data with advanced algorithms, we tailor the experience so customers are more likely to find the perfect card and gift every time, driving improvements in order frequency and average order value over time.

Moonpig and Greetz have shared a unified website platform since late 2022. In FY25, we extended this integration by migrating Greetz to the same CRM system as Moonpig, providing our marketing team with a common platform for email and app notifications so they can more easily share best practices. We also moved Greetz onto the same payment platform as Moonpig enabling automatic subscription billing renewals for Greetz Plus. The two brands now share common technology across all areas outside fulfilment, with new features available for deployment in both the UK and the Netherlands. At the same time, we are increasingly tailoring aspects of the user experience to local market needs – for example, Greetz now features a redesigned delivery scheduler that accounts for Dutch customers' greater price sensitivity, in contrast to UK customers' stronger preference for speed of delivery.

We have focused on leveraging AI at every possible touchpoint to deliver the most personalised shopping experience for our customers. We now use the latest AI models to tag our cards, to better understand customer search queries, to scan the image of each card and to analyse customer sentiment by scanning the message in each card. Together, these deliver a self-improving experience where our customers are finding and creating more relevant and meaningful products with less effort than ever before.

We continued to launch innovative creative tools that set our proposition apart and encourage repeat use. In December, we launched "Your Personal Handwriting", enabling customers to upload and apply their handwriting as a custom font, while in February we introduced AI stickers, allowing users to generate bespoke images via natural language prompts – with over 4 million created to date. These features build on a creative suite that also includes audio and video messages, flexible photo layouts and digital gifts.

To streamline the login experience, we introduced social login using Apple and Google credentials, alongside account linking to provide existing customers who use social login with seamless access to their reminders. The "Magic Link" feature now allows automatic login from reminder emails, while password resets have been replaced by one-time login codes for ease of access.

We have also maintained a strong focus on customer satisfaction, enhancing both the delivery and service experience. This includes upgrades to the delivery scheduler interface, technology enablement for Moonpig Guaranteed Delivery, and the launch of tracked card delivery in Ireland. Additionally, we have expanded the use of AI-powered chatbots to handle a greater share of customer service queries, enabling efficient, high-satisfaction self-service.

At Experiences, the completion of re-platforming has enabled the development of a range of customer-facing features, with a focus on driving commercial performance through enhanced product discovery and easier location-based shopping:

During the year, we increased the proportion of Scope 3 emissions covered by SBTi-aligned net zero supplier commitments to 28.8%, up year-on-year from 19.3% the previous year. We also reduced absolute location-based Scope 3 emissions by 5.0% year- on-year.

We eliminated single-use plastics from shipping packaging in our Dutch operations during FY25, having previously delivered the same in the UK. To maintain our "forest positive" stance, we funded the planting of 113 hectares or 151,000 trees, helping to restore biodiversity and sequester carbon. We also implemented a new UK warehouse management system which we expect to assist in packaging waste reduction in FY26.

The adoption of a formal goal for data and technology security was timely, given recent cyber-attacks targeting high-profile UK consumer businesses. In response, we have reviewed our internal processes and controls to ensure they remain resilient. We have invested significantly in technology security across many years and intend to maintain a robust security posture.

Financial review Introduction

We delivered strong growth in profit before tax in FY25, with Adjusted PBT rising by 16.0% to £67.5m and Adjusted basic EPS increasing by 18.1% to 15.0 pence. This reflects consistent revenue growth at the Moonpig segment, sustained Adjusted EBITDA margins and strong Free Cash Flow that has accelerated earnings growth through lower interest costs and a smaller share count following the repurchase and cancellation of shares.

Moonpig Group’s revenue base is high-quality and predictable. Nearly nine-tenths of Moonpig and Greetz revenue derives from existing customers, with retention improving across all cohorts and frequency remaining stable. These cohort dynamics underpin consistent revenue growth, reinforce resilience and contribute to steadily rising customer lifetime value.

Technology is our core revenue growth engine, with data forming a structural moat. Every day, we collect more than twice as much data as the rest of the greeting card market combined, deepening our competitive advantage. We have over 101m customer occasion reminders, allowing us to engage customers at moments of gifting intent. AI enhancement such as personalised gifting algorithms, sentiment analysis and semantic search continue to increase conversion, basket size and overall customer engagement.

Moonpig’s growth strategy is grounded in three clear and compounding revenue drivers: expanding our active customer base, increasing order frequency and growing average order value – in particular, through growth in gift attachment. Our ability to acquire customers at under 12 months’ payback and deepen their value over time supports sustainable revenue growth over the medium term. The Plus subscription programme now accounts for approximately 20% of Moonpig orders in the UK and lifts members' average order frequency by over 20%. We returned gift attach rate to growth in FY25, with momentum building as the year progressed.

Our platform is structurally profitable and capital light. We maintain high gross margins, operate with negative working capital and manage capex within a disciplined ROI framework. With low inventory risk and operational leverage across fulfilment and technology, the Group consistently delivers high and growing operating cash flow. These fundamentals enable us to both invest in future growth and generate excess capital.

We generate strong cash flow and allocate capital with discipline. In FY25, Free Cash Flow was £66.1m (FY24: £61.0m). Adjusted operating cash flow, which is stated before capital expenditure, was £82.3m (FY24: £74.2m), representing an Adjusted operating cash conversion rate of 85%. This supported a reduction in net leverage to 0.99x (FY24: 1.31x) and a £25.0m share repurchase programme. The Board has proposed dividends of 3.0 pence per share, amounting to an estimated total dividend distribution

of approximately £10.0m, dependent on issued share capital at the next record date. The FY25 dividend is covered 5.0x by Adjusted profit before taxation – above our medium-term target range of 3x to 4x. With our growth priorities fully funded, we intend to repurchase up to £60.0m of shares in FY26, whilst maintaining year-end leverage in line with our 1.0x target.

In combination, these attributes create a platform with high operating leverage, predictable revenue and efficient capital deployment. This has delivered sustained cash generation and Adjusted EPS growth of 18.1%. We expect to deliver consistent mid-teens growth in Adjusted EPS in future years.

1. Stated before Adjusting Items of £56.7m in Adjusted EBITDA (FY24: £3.5m), £64.6m in profit before taxation (FY24: £11.8m), £62.6m (FY24: £9.4m) in profit after taxation and £nil is in Free Cash Flow (FY24: £2.4m). See Adjusting Items at Note 6.

The Group delivered revenue of £350.1m, representing year-on-year growth of 2.6%. This was driven by strong revenue growth of 8.6% at Moonpig, offset in part by performance at Greetz and Experiences. The prior year includes annualisation of prior year temporary additional non-redemption revenue on expired vouchers at Experiences.

Revenue growth at Moonpig was driven by growth in both orders and AOV. This was underpinned by technology investment, with our product, data and technology workforce focused on initiatives that delivered growth in new customer acquisition and customer purchase frequency. We also delivered a return to year-on-year growth in gift attach rate across both H1 and H2 FY25, with growth accelerating in the second half of the year.

We have continued to make progress at Greetz, with revenue decreases moderating from a decrease of 7.5% in FY24 to 4.7% in FY25. On a constant currency basis, this equates to a decrease of 2.4% for the financial year. Greetz had a softer start to the second half of the year, but recent performance has been more encouraging, with an improved exit rate to FY25. A broad range of operational KPIs have maintained an upward trajectory, including new customer acquisition, brand keyword traffic, customer satisfaction scores and gift attachment rates. From April 2025 onwards, Greetz revenue has been in line with prior year on a constant currency basis.

The Experiences segment continues to face a challenging market environment, with a proposition more exposed to cyclical pressures than the rest of the Group. The £56.7m non-cash impairment charge to goodwill recognised as at 31 October 2024 remained unchanged at year-end. We now have strong operational momentum in the Experiences business, which we will continue to build on in FY26, helped by a strengthened divisional management team, the rollout of new features enabled by the completion of re-platforming during FY25 and a strong pipeline of product launches in subscription gifting, casual dining and live experiences.

The Group maintained Adjusted EBITDA margin rate at 27.6% (FY24: 28.0%), despite the absence of the prior year Covid-related non-redemption revenue at 100% margin. Excluding this one-time benefit, underlying margin performance strengthened – supported by intake margin improvements at Moonpig, operational efficiencies in UK fulfilment and continued expansion of higher- margin revenue streams such as Plus subscription fees.

Adjusted profit before taxation increased by 16.0% to £67.5m (FY24: £58.2m), driven by lower net finance charges as we refinanced to lower-cost debt facilities in February 2024 and lower drawdown on our revolving credit facility.

Adjusted basic EPS for FY25 increased by 18.1% to 15.0 pence (FY24: 12.7 pence) as strong Free Cash Flow of £66.1m (FY24:

£61.0m) enabled us to both reduce net finance costs through deleveraging and lower our average issued share capital through repurchasing and cancelling shares.

Moonpig and Greetz revenue increased by 6.3% year-on-year, driven by increases in both order volumes and average order value (AOV). Active customers grew by 4.1% to 12.0m, reflecting consistent year-on-year new customer acquisition. Whilst headline order frequency remained unchanged at 2.94 orders per active customer (FY24: 2.94), this includes the mix impact from particularly strong new customer acquisition. We continued to make strong progress with the drivers of underlying frequency growth, including reminders collection and Plus subscriptions. Average order value increased by 2.1% year-on-year, driven by postage price increases, more efficient targeting of promotional activity and year-on-year growth in gift attach rate.

Group revenue growth was powered by Moonpig, at which revenue increased by 8.6% year-on-year. The revenue trajectory at Greetz continued to improve from a 7.5% decrease in FY24 to a decrease of 4.7% in FY25 including the adverse impact from foreign exchange translation. On a constant currency basis, Greetz sales in FY25 were 2.4% lower than the prior year.

Moonpig is driving growth in sales where it acts as an agent, for children’s toys and gift experiences. Under the agency model, only commission earned is recognised as revenue, resulting in lower reported revenue compared to the gross amount that would be recorded if the Group acted as principal.

At Experiences, the reported year-on-year reduction in revenue includes the prior year recognition of temporarily higher non- redemption relating to gift boxes (primarily distributed through high street retail partners) and individual experiences vouchers that were sold during Covid with extended expiry dates. As these extended expiry dates have now passed, this benefit did not repeat in FY25.

Group revenue is weighted towards the second half of the year, reflecting key trading peaks including Christmas, Valentine’s Day and UK Mother’s Day. In FY25, H2 accounted for approximately 55% of Moonpig revenue, 50% at Greetz and 62% at Experiences (FY24: 55%; 51% and 61% respectively). This resulted in around 55% (FY24: 55%) of total Group revenue being generated in the second half.

Growth in attached gifting revenue reflected both the 4.1% increase in total orders and strengthening gift attach rate, which increased year-on-year by 0.2 percentage points in H1 FY25 and 0.7 percentage points in H2 FY25. In our card-first model, card order volume is a key driver of gifting revenue. Gift attach rate strengthened through the year, supported by the introduction of trusted brands such as Hotel Chocolat, The Entertainer and Next, as well as enhancements to our gifting recommendation algorithms. The continued expansion of the Plus membership base was also positive, as members have a higher average gift attach rate than non-members – a trend that holds even with their uplifted frequency of purchase.

Although standalone gifting revenue decreased year-on-year, this area is not a primary focus, as our strategy remains to prioritise growth in greeting cards and attached gifting to drive purchase frequency and customer lifetime value.

Gross margin rate was 59.6% (FY24: 59.4%), supported by a 1.8 percentage point increase in Moonpig gross margin rate. This reflects improved intake margin from the commercial management of supplier relationships, leveraging AI to make more targeted use of promotional discounts and the successful implementation of efficiency projects at our UK facility including the insourcing of UK balloon fulfilment.

In addition, Moonpig and Greetz revenue includes £10.8m (FY24: £6.2m) from income streams with a 100% incremental gross margin rate, such as Plus renewal subscription fees, on-site marketing income and commissions earned on the sale of toys and digital gift experiences as agent. In due course, we expect this to exert some upward pressure on both gross profit margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin (whilst reducing reported revenue from gross transaction value to commission earned on sales as agent). At the same time, the impact of growth in gift attach rate will be to place downward pressure on headline gross margin rate due to adverse category mix, albeit driving growth in absolute gross profit.

The reduction in gross margin at Greetz reflects increased promotional intensity in gifting.

Experiences gross margin rate remained relatively consistent year-on-year at 93.9% (FY24: 92.9%). The high gross margin rate at Experiences reflects the nature of revenue recognised at this segment, which comprises agency commission earned from partners for the distribution of experiences, rather than gross transaction value. Cost of goods at the Experiences segment related primarily to packaging and distribution for those orders where the consumer elects to pay for a physical gift box rather than digital delivery.

The Group maintained Adjusted EBITDA margin rate at 27.6% (FY24: 28.0%). Excluding prior year excess non-redemption, there was an underlying improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin rate, driven by Moonpig.

At Moonpig, higher Adjusted EBITDA margin rate reflected the pass-through of higher gross margin rate. In contrast, Greetz's Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased, impacted by lower revenue, operational leverage and higher promotional activity in gifting. At Experiences, the lower Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects prior year excess non-redemption, the year-on-year reduction in revenue and the negative impact of operational leverage.

Depreciation and amortisation (excluding acquisition-related amortisation) increased from £17.4m in FY24 to £18.9m in FY25, driven by continued investment in operational facilities and technology development. 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 finance costs decreased to £10.3m (FY24: £19.9m):

The Adjusted taxation charge was £16.0m (FY24: £14.6m). Expressed as a percentage of Adjusted profit before taxation, the Adjusted effective tax rate was 23.7% (FY24: 25.1%). This was lower than prevailing rates of corporation tax due to the positive impact of deferred tax movements in relation to share-based payment arrangements, driven by increases in the Group's share price. The reported taxation charge was £14.0m (FY24: £12.2m), with the difference from Adjusted taxation relating to deferred tax on acquisition related intangible assets.

The Group has identified certain Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) that it believes provide additional useful information on the performance of the Group. These APMs are not defined within IFRS and are not intended to substitute or be considered as superior to IFRS measures. Furthermore, these APMs may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Group’s Directors and management use these APMs in conjunction with IFRS measures when budgeting, planning and reviewing business performance.

Pre-IPO incentive scheme costs consist of £nil (FY24: £1.1m) share-based payment charges and £nil (FY24: £2.4m) cash bonus awards. These relate to one-off compensation arrangements, which fully vested at the end of the FY24 financial year. The Group treats these costs as Adjusting Items as they relate to one-off awards implemented whilst the Group was under private equity ownership and are not part of the Group’s ongoing remuneration arrangements.

Acquisition amortisation of £7.9m (FY24: £8.3m) relates to the amortisation of intangible assets arising on the acquisition of the Greetz and Experiences segments. This is treated as an Adjusting Item as it does not reflect the underlying performance of the Group but is a result of the accounting requirements for a business combination under IFRS 3. Adjusted taxation excludes the credit to reported taxation relating to the unwind of the deferred taxation liability that was recognised alongside the intangible assets arising on business combination.

The non-cash impairment charge relating to Experiences CGU goodwill of £56.7m (FY24: £nil) has been classified as an Adjusting Item.

Determining which items should be classified as Adjusting Items involves the exercise of judgement. We do not classify the following as Adjusting Items on the basis that they are recurring costs associated with delivery of financial performance. However, we have observed that certain users of our accounts adopt a different approach in their own financial modelling and have therefore provided the information below to assist these users. The charge for FY25 reflects relatively low expected vesting for awards maturing in 2025. We currently expect materially higher vesting for subsequent awards, which is reflected in technical guidance.

  1. Stated inclusive of employer's national insurance of £1.6m (FY24 £0.5m). The increase in national insurance reflects higher current share price and expected increase in the Group's share price through to the vesting date of each scheme.


Earnings per share (EPS)

Adjusted basic EPS for FY25 increased from 12.7p in FY24 to 15.0p in FY25, reflecting the 18.1% year-on-year increase in Adjusted profit after taxation and the impact of repurchasing and cancelling shares. After accounting for unvested employee share awards, Adjusted diluted earnings per share was 14.5p (FY24: 12.3p). Reported basic EPS loss per share of 3.2p (FY24: earnings 10.0p) reflects the non-cash impairment charge of £56.7m.

The calculation of basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The period-on-period movement reflects the repurchase and cancellation of 11,061,434 (2024: nil) shares during the year. This was offset in part by the issue of 1,597,155 (2024: 1,198,394) shares including 1,413,971 of shares to satisfy the final tranche of the pre-IPO award in July 2024 and 183,184 shares in respect of the operation of post-IPO remuneration policy. The Group expects to move during FY26 to satisfying share awards through market purchases rather than through dilution, subject to this remaining EPS-accretive at the prevailing share price.

Free Cash Flow

The Group is cash generative, with Free Cash Flow (FCF) of £66.1m (FY24: £61.0m). Adjusted operating cash flow, which includes capital expenditure, was £82.3m (FY24: £74.2m), representing Adjusted operating cash conversion rate of 85% (FY24: 78%).

  1. See Adjusting Items at Note 6.

  2. EBITDA, Free Cash Flow (FCF), FCF conversion, operating cash flow and operating cash conversion are non-IFRS measures. FCF is defined as net cash generated from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities; it excludes proceeds from or payments for mergers and acquisitions but (as a practical expedient and for greater consistency with IAS 7 classification of cash flows) is not adjusted to exclude bank interest received. Adjusted operating cash conversion, which is defined as the ratio of operating cash flow to Adjusted EBITDA, informs management and investors about the cash operating cycle of the business and how efficiently operating profit is converted into cash.

  3. The adjusted add-back relates to non-cash share-based payment charges of £1.8m (FY24: £3.1m) arising from the operation of post-IPO Remuneration Policy. The adjusting item add-back relates to pre-IPO remuneration of £nil (FY24: £1.1m).

  4. Figures in this table are individually rounded to the nearest £0.1m, hence sub-totals and totals may not sum due to rounding differences.

Cash generated from operations was £95.4m (FY24: £85.3m):

Capital expenditure remained broadly consistent year-on-year at £13.3m (FY24: £13.7m). This equates to 3.8% of revenue and is below the lower end of our medium-term target range. We expect higher capital expenditure in FY26 as a result of investment in automation at our operational facilities, together with a reversion in technology capitalisation rate to normal levels; during FY25 there have been a number of technology projects, such as the implementation of a new warehouse management system and the migration of Greetz to the same card payment processing platform as Moonpig, which comprise SaaS configuration. As these arrangements grant access to rather than control of the software, they do not give rise to an intangible asset under IFRS; accordingly, the associated payroll costs have been recognised as operating expenses.

Net debt

Net debt at 30 April 2025 improved to £96.0m (April 2024: £125.1m). 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 improved to 0.99x (30 April 2024: 1.31x), in line with our medium-term target of 1.0x.

1. Borrowings are stated net of capitalised loan arrangement fees and hedging instrument fees of £1.8m as at 30 April 2025 (30 April 2024: £2.0m).


The Group’s debt facilities consist of a £180.0m committed revolving credit facility which now has a maturity date of 28 February 2029. This reflects the exercise during the year of a one-year extension option, which was approved by the lenders. Borrowings are subject to interest at a margin over the reference interest rate, with margin of 200bps for net leverage of 1.0x or lower and 225bps for net leverage of 1.5x or lower, thereafter stepping up based on a margin ratchet until it reaches 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. As at the current date, several layered SONIA interest rate cap instruments are in place with strike rates of between 4.5% and 5.0% on total notional of £50.0m until 31 October 2026. Further details are set out at Note 20.

Capital allocation

In October 2024, we announced a new capital allocation policy, in anticipation of reaching our 1.0x net leverage target. This framework establishes a clear hierarchy: investment to support organic growth - including continued investment in technology development, customer acquisition and operational automation - remains the highest priority, followed by dividends, then selective, value-accretive M&A and finally the repurchase of shares where excess capital is available. Given our organic growth priorities are appropriately funded and M&A is not currently in contemplation, our capital allocation focus has shifted to returning 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 excludes proceeds from or payments for mergers and acquisitions but 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 £25.0 million of its own shares for cancellation. Of this amount, £24.3 million was paid during the year to the corporate broker managing the share repurchase programme, with £0.7 million remaining payable as at 30 April 2025.


During FY25, the Company declared its first interim dividend of 1.0 pence. The Board is recommending a final dividend of 2.0 pence which, if approved at the 2025 AGM, will be paid on 20 November 2025 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 24 October 2025. This would result in total dividends for FY25 of 3.0 pence (FY24: nil), equating to an estimated total dividend distribution of approximately £10.0m, dependent on issued share capital at the next record date and representing dividend cover of 5.0x. The Group has adopted a progressive dividend policy and intends that dividend per share will grow over time as earnings rise, targeting a cover ratio of 3x to 4x in the medium-term.

The Group’s inaugural share repurchase programme was completed in H2 FY25, purchasing a total of 11,377,505 (2024: nil) ordinary shares for total consideration of £25.0m, including transaction costs, of which £24.3m was a cash outflow in the year with the remainder included in year-end payables pending settlement. The average effective purchase price was 218.2 pence per share. All of the purchased shares were subsequently cancelled, with 11,061,434 cancelled as at 30 April 2025 and a further 316,017 shares transferred to the registrar for cancellation post year-end.

The Group has announced its intention to repurchase up to £60.0m of shares in FY26, subject to the normal authority to repurchase shares being granted at the 2025 AGM. The Company’s policy is to undertake share repurchases only where they are EPS enhancing and funded from excess capital. We intend for FY26 repurchases to be executed through two separate programmes of £30.0m each, in H1 and H2 respectively. All shares will be cancelled. During FY26 we intend to transition to settling obligations under employee share plans through market purchases of shares, subject to the prevailing share price.

Distributable reserves

As at 30 April 2025, the Company balance sheet held distributable reserves of £559.6m (April 2024: £582.5m), 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 FY26

Since the start of the year, trading across the Group has been in line with our expectations, including strong Father’s Day trading. Moonpig is growing at double-digit levels and Greetz revenue is in line with the prior year. At Experiences, we continue to build on recent operational momentum.

For FY26, we expect Group Adjusted EBITDA to grow at a mid-single digit percentage rate and growth in Adjusted earnings per share at between 8% and 12%, with continued strong free cash flow generation funding ongoing investment in our growth strategy and consistent returns to shareholders.

With respect to the medium term, we continue to target double-digit revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25% to 27% and mid-teens growth in Adjusted EPS.


Capital expenditure

We expect a year-on-year increase in the ratio of capex to revenue. Tangible and intangible capital expenditure in FY26 and FY27 is expected to sit in the upper half of our 4% to 5% medium-term target range. In both years, this includes mid-single digit millions of spend on property, plant and equipment for planned automation investments at our UK fulfilment centre.

Depreciation and amortisation

We expect depreciation and amortisation to be between £20m and £23m in FY26. 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.

Net finance costs

We expect net finance costs to be broadly unchanged year-on-year at approximately £10m in FY26. This includes around £6m of interest on bank borrowings and £2m of deemed interest on the Experiences merchant accrual. The remainder relates to interest on leases and the amortisation of arrangement fees on debt facilities and hedging instruments. Beyond FY26, and excluding movements in reference rates, net finance costs are expected to rise in line with Adjusted EBITDA, as net debt increases to maintain net leverage of approximately 1.0x.

Taxation

We expect an effective tax rate of between 25% and 26% of reported profit before taxation in FY26 and thereafter. 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.

Working capital

We expect the Experiences merchant accrual to vary broadly in line with trading performance at that 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 2026. It is likely to be modestly higher at 31 October 2025, reflecting the second-half weighting of Free Cash Flow and the distribution of capital returns across the year. The Group targets medium-term net leverage of around 1.0x, with flexibility to move beyond this as business needs require.

  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 2025 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 2025 are detailed in Note 26.

    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 2025, in the following areas:

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

  2. Summary of significant accounting policies

    New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 May 2024

    The following amendments are effective for the year beginning 1 May 2024:

  3. Segmental analysis

The CODM reviews external revenue, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources to the overall business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are non-GAAP measures. 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.

The Group is organised and managed based on its segments, namely Moonpig (UK, Ireland, Australia and the US), Greetz (Netherlands) and Experiences (UK). These are the reportable and operating segments for the Group as they form the focus of the Group’s internal reporting systems and are the basis used by the CODM for assessing performance and allocating resources.

Most of the Group’s revenue is 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.

Finance income and expense are not allocated to the reportable segments, as this activity is managed centrally.

Revenue and trading profit are subject to seasonality and are weighted towards the second half of the year which includes the key peak periods for the business.

    Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in each jurisdiction. The increase in the expenses not deductible for tax purposes relates to the impact of the non-cash impairment charge to Experiences goodwill.

    The Adjusted effective tax rate is slightly below 25.0% of Adjusted profit before taxation, reflecting the positive impact of deferred taxation movements with respect to share-based payment arrangements, driven by increases in the Group's share price (refer to Note 6).

    The Directors recommend a final dividend for the year ended 30 April 2025 of 2.0 pence per share (2024: nil pence per share) subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, with an equivalent final dividend charge of £6.7m based on the number of shares in issue at the end of the financial year (2024: £nil). The final dividend will be paid on 20 November 2025 to all shareholders registered at the close of business on 24 October 2025. In accordance with IAS 10 'Events after the Reporting Period', the proposed final dividend has not been accrued as a liability at 30 April 2025.

  2. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. For the purposes of this calculation, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period was 342,548,159 (2024: 343,093,868). The period-on-period movement reflects the issue of 1,597,155 (2024: 1,198,394) shares during the period including the issue of 1,413,971 of shares to satisfy the Group’s obligation to its employees in relation to the vested second and final tranche of the pre-IPO award in July 2024, the issue of 93,822 shares in respect of vested long-term incentive plan awards, the issue of 86,371 shares in respect of vested deferred share bonus plan awards and 2,991 in respect of the share save scheme (see Note 21). The issue of shares was offset by 11,061,434 (2024: nil) shares being cancelled during the period through the operation of the Group's share repurchase scheme (see Note 22). The Group expects to move during FY26 to satisfying share awards through market purchases rather than through dilution, subject to this remaining EPS-accretive at the prevailing share price.

  1. Technology and development costs include assets under construction of £4,735,000 (2023: £3,821,000).

    1. Goodwill

      Goodwill of £6,333,000 (2024: £6,353,000) relates to the acquisition of Greetz in 2018, recognised within the Greetz CGU. The movement between periods is a result of foreign exchange revaluation.

      Goodwill of £80,568,000 (2024: £137,269,000) relates to the acquisition of Experiences and is allocated to the Experiences CGU. The movement between periods is a result of a non-cash impairment charge to the goodwill balance of £56,700,000.

    2. Trademark

      £2,854,000 (2024: £3,744,000) of the asset balance are trademarks relating to the acquisition of Greetz with finite lives. The remaining useful economic life at 30 April 2025 on the trademark is 3 years 4 months (2024: 4 years 4 months).

      £5,535,000 (2024: £6,304,000) of trademark assets relate to the brands valued on the acquisition of Experiences. The remaining useful economic life at 30 April 2025 on these trademarks is 7 years and 3 months (2024: 8 years and 3 months).

    3. Technology and development costs

      Technology and development costs of £19,687,000 (2024: £21,227,000) 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. The remaining useful economic life of these assets at 30 April 2025 ranges from 1 month to 3 years (2024: 1 month to 3 years).

      Technology and development costs of £79,000 (2024: £471,000) relate to the acquisition of Experiences and are allocated to the Experiences CGU. The remaining useful economic life at 30 April 2025 is 3 months (2024: 1 year and 3 months).

    4. Customer relationships

      £5,098,000 (2024: £6,041,000) of the asset balance relates to the valuation of existing customer relationships held by Greetz on acquisition. The remaining useful economic life at 30 April 2025 on these customer relationships is 5 years 4 months (2024: 6 years 4 months).

      £17,145,000 (2024: £22,081,000) of customer relationship assets relates to those valued on the acquisition of the Experiences segment. The remaining useful economic life at 30 April 2025 on these customer relationships is a range of 4 years and 3 months and 1 year and 3 months (2024: a range between 5 years 3 months and 2 years and 3 months).

    5. Software

      Software intangible assets include accounting and marketing software purchased by the Group and software licence fees from third-party suppliers.

    6. Annual impairment tests

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 an annual test for impairment of Experiences CGU goodwill as at 30 April 2024, with the results, sensitivity analysis and narrative disclosure presented on pages 149-150 of the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2024. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the Directors identified the impairment assessment as a major source of estimation uncertainty that had a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount within the year ending 30 April 2025. In accordance with paragraph 125 of IAS 1, the FY24 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. As part of this disclosure, the sensitivity of Experiences' goodwill to forecast revenue growth was highlighted.

During H1 FY25, Experiences trading performance was identified as an indication that Experiences CGU goodwill may be impaired. The Group therefore estimated the value in use of the Experiences CGU as at 31 October 2024. This exercise determined that the carrying amount of Experiences goodwill exceeded its recoverable amount and an impairment charge of £56,700,000 was recognised in the consolidated income statement. The impairment charge has been classified as an Adjusting Item (see Note 6).

The Group performed its annual impairment test of the goodwill allocated to the Greetz and Experiences segments, as at 30 April 2025. The estimated future cash flows are based on the approved plan, including the FY26 budget, for the three years ending 30 April 2028. 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. The assumed 5 year pre-perpetuity projections period represents a reduction of 12 months from 30 April 2024, aligning with the Group’s policy of reducing the period to 5 years. 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.

  1. Annual impairment tests continued

    Goodwill continued

    As at 30 April 2025 there has been no amendment to the charge allocated to the Experiences CGU during the year. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed, the Directors identified the impairment assessment as a major source of estimation uncertainty that had a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount within the year ending 30 April 2026. In accordance with paragraph 125 of IAS 1, the FY25 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.

    As at 30 April 2025, no impairment charge has been recognised for goodwill allocated to the Greetz CGU. The headroom over carrying amount is more than adequate and there is no reasonable possible change in key assumptions including those relating to future sales performance that would lead to an impairment.

    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 2025) 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:

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


Greetz CGU Experiences CGU


2025

2024

Pre-tax discount rate (%)1

13.5%

13.5%

15.1%

Revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR)2

4.8%

8.8%

2.7%

6.6%

  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. The decline in the discount rate from the previous year is due to reducing the equity premium and betas used in the calculation.

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

  3. In the prior year, the pre-perpetuity period of six years was a key assumption as it exceeded the five-year maximum typically presumed under IAS 36, which requires justification for longer forecast horizons. In FY25 the pre-perpetuity period is five years and therefore no longer constitutes a key assumption.


The Group has performed sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of a change in each key assumption in the VIU. The relevant scenario, in relation to a revenue decrease, 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 2025.

For the goodwill allocated to both the Experiences and Greetz CGU, the Group modelled the impact of a 1%pt increase in the discount rate and a 2.2%pts decrease in the compound annual growth rate was also modelled for Greetz and Experiences respectively. The decrease in forecasted revenue sensitivity pushed the growth rates out by one year with a reduction of 10% in Greetz and 10% in Experiences in the first year. The Group also modelled a scenario in which both of these changes arise concurrently.

The results of this sensitivity analysis are summarised below:

In FY25 the pre-perpetuity period is five years and therefore no longer constitutes a key assumption.

(f) Annual impairment tests continued

Other 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 and other receivables are predominantly 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 its credit risk to be low with Group revenue derived from electronic payment processes (including credit card, debit card, PayPal, iDEAL and Single Euro Payments Area) executed over the internet, with most receipts reaching the bank accounts in one to two days.

At 30 April 2025, the Group had net trade receivables of £1,468,000 (2024: £1,326,000). 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:

    Non-current provisions

    Includes dilapidations provisions for the Herbal House head office, the Almere facility in the Netherlands and the Tamworth facility in the UK. These are classified as non-current due to their expected settlement dates, with the earliest lease expiry among the three locations occurring in 2027. The balance also includes the non-current portion of the employee sabbatical provision.

  3. Contract liabilities

In all material respects, current deferred revenue at 30 April 2024 and 30 April 2025 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"), which now has a maturity date of 28 February 2029. This reflects the exercise during the year of a one-year extension option, which was subsequently approved by the lenders. 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 2025 the Group had drawn down £93,000,000 and €4,500,000 of the available revolving credit facility (2024: £113,000,000 and €8,500,000). There was a foreign exchange impact on borrowings during the year of £90,000 (2024: £nil).

The 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. 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 4.5% and 5.0% on total notional of £50.0m until 31 October 2026:

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

3.5x at April 2025 and 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 from 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.

  1. Share-based payments

    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 £1.77 (2024: £1.48).

    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 charge is adjusted accordingly, with any changes recognised in the income statement. Activity in relation to these awards during the period included new awards granted on 2 July 2024 under the existing scheme which will vest on 2 July 2027 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 11,514,466 (2024: 9,326,856), with an expected maximum vesting profile (stated net of forfeitures since award) as follows:

    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. Given the constituents of the scheme, no attrition assumption was applied.

    The outstanding number of share options at the end of the year is 540,885 (2024: 386,842), with an expected vesting profile (stated net of forfeitures since award) as follows:

    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 FY22 awards were granted on 3 September 2021 and vested on 1 October 2024, 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 FY25 awards on 26 July 2024, which will potentially vest on 1 October 2027 on the same terms.

    The outstanding number of share options at the end of the year is 1,059,706 (2024: 1,009,635), with an expected vesting profile (stated net of forfeitures since award) as follows:

    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. As the Company had only recently listed, a proxy volatility equal to the median volatility of the FTSE 250 (excluding Investment Trusts) over the respective periods has been used. Consideration has also been made to the trend of volatility to return to its mean, by disregarding extraordinary periods of volatility.

  2. Share capital and reserves

    The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital, share premium, merger reserve, retained earnings and other reserves. 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 2025 is:

    Called-up share capital continued

    In the year ended 30 April 2025, the Company commenced a share repurchase programme. By resolutions passed at the 2024 AGM, the Company’s shareholders generally authorised the Company to repurchase up to maximum of 34,362,148 of its ordinary shares. The share repurchase programme was announced on 16 October 2024 and commenced on 5 November 2024. In the year ended 30 April 2025, a total of 11,377,505 (2024: nil) ordinary shares of £0.10 were purchased and 11,061,434 of these shares purchased were subsequently cancelled. The 316,017 of shares not cancelled as at 30 April 2025 were transferred to the registrar for cancellation post year-end. The average price paid was 218.2p with a total consideration paid (including fees of £174,000) of

    £25,000,000 (2024: £nil). On cancellation the consideration was transferred from the own shares held reserve (within other reserves) to retained earnings and the nominal value of the shares transferred from share capital to the capital redemption reserve.

    In the year ended 30 April 2025, 1,597,155 ordinary shares (2024: 1,198,394) were issued for the settlement of share-based payments. The Group expects to move during FY26 to satisfying share awards through market purchases rather than through dilution, subject to this remaining EPS-accretive at the prevailing share price.

    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 (2024: £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.

    Other reserves

    Other reserves represent the share-based payment reserve, the foreign currency translation reserve, the hedging reserve, own shares held 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.

    Foreign currency translation reserve

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

    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. 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. 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.

    Capital redemption reserve

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

    2. Excluding other taxation and social security (as not classified as financial liabilities).




    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, trade payables and borrowings

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

    Forward currency contracts

    The fair value is determined using the mark to market rates at the reporting date and the outright contract rate.

    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 if money and the risks specific to the instrument.


    The fair values of bank loans and other loans approximates to the carrying value, as reported in the balance sheet, gross of amortised costs of £1,848,000 (2024: £1,973,000). 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 now has a maturity date of 28 February 2029. This reflects the exercise during the year of a one-year extension option, which was subsequently approved by the lenders. 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.

    The following tables sets out the anticipated contractual cash flows including interest payable for the Group’s financial liabilities and derivative instruments on an undiscounted basis. Where interest payments are calculated at a floating rate, rates of each cash flow until maturity of the instruments are calculated based on the forward yield curve prevailing at the respective year-ends. All derivative contracts are presented on a net basis:

    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 the contractual future interest cost of a financial liability to be included within the above table. As disclosed in Note 20 of these condensed consolidated financial statements, borrowings are currently drawn under a revolving credit facility and repayments can be made at any time without penalty. As such there is no contractual future interest cost. However, included in the above table is the expected future interest payments based on the Group's drawings and existing hedging as at the balance sheet date and forecasted SONIA and EURIBOR rates.

      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.

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% (2024: 3%) 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 means there is financial flexibility to return incremental excess capital to shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases.
