Grafton ( (GB:GFTU) ) has issued an announcement.

Grafton Group plc announced that it traded in line with expectations for 2024, despite challenging market conditions, particularly in the UK and Finland. The company reported a slight improvement in average daily like-for-like sales growth in the final months of the year, driven by strong performance in Ireland and improved conditions in Finland. Grafton has been focusing on cost discipline amid cost inflation and a muted growth outlook. The integration of the Salvador Escoda platform in Spain is progressing well, enhancing Grafton’s geographic diversification.
