Big Yellow Group PLC is a leading self-storage provider in the UK, operating 109 stores predominantly in London and large regional conurbations, with a focus on sustainability and high-quality customer service.
In its latest earnings report for the six months ending September 30, 2024, Big Yellow Group PLC reported a steady performance with a 3% increase in revenue, driven by rental growth, despite a slight dip in store EBITDA due to increased operating costs.
Key financial highlights include a statutory profit before tax increase of 22% to £145.8 million, supported by a significant revaluation gain, and a slight decline in EPRA earnings per share due to share dilution. The company maintained an interim dividend of 22.6 pence per share. The company’s development pipeline shows promise, with new store openings and successful planning consents in key London locations.
Looking forward, Big Yellow remains optimistic about returning to earnings per share growth in the second half, focusing on increasing occupancy and efficiency through automation, and expanding its development pipeline to sustain future growth.
