Catherine Faiers, CEO, commented
“These results demonstrate the strength of Moonpig Group’s brands, customer proposition and business model. The Group delivered good growth in revenue, profitability and cash generation whilst continuing to invest in the capabilities to support our future ambition. This performance reflects the hard work, commitment and execution of our outstanding teams across the business.
Since joining the business in March, my conviction in the opportunities ahead has only grown. At its heart, Moonpig Group helps people to build and maintain meaningful relationships and in an increasingly digital world, that role feels more relevant than ever.
What excites me most is the combination of trusted brands, rich proprietary customer data and differentiated operational capabilities that have been built over many years. Together they give us a more powerful foundation to deepen customer relationships, unlock more value across the Group and deliver attractive returns for shareholders over the long term.”
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.
