Trading in H1 has been ahead of expectations with strong revenue growth and operating leverage growth across all brands and geographies.
As such, full year sales are now expected to be between +33% and+38% (versus previous guidance of +25% to +30%) and consensus of +32%.
Q1 sales were +39%, thus new guidance implies sales growth is expected to be over c. +34% for the remaining three quarters of the year. The Q2 performance was clearly very strong.
Whilst there was some operational leverage in H1, management now expects to invest more into recently acquired brands in H2 such that EBITDA margin guidance will remain at 10%.
We expect market consensus EBITDA to move between £114m - £118m versus consensus of £109m today
