An announcement from Lords Group Trading PLC ( (GB:LORD) ) is now available.
Lords Group Trading PLC has released its FY24 trading update, highlighting a mixed performance across its divisions. While group revenue is expected to decrease to £436 million from £463 million in FY23, the Merchanting division showed strong momentum, particularly in the final quarter of FY24, with a significant increase in revenue compared to the previous year. In contrast, the Plumbing and Heating division faced challenges with a 17% drop in Q4 revenue due to weaker market conditions, although the acquisition of Ultimate Renewables reflects a strategic focus on renewable energy growth. The company has taken steps to reduce net debt and improve operational efficiency, positioning itself well for future growth despite challenging market conditions.
