Lords Group Trading PLC - London-based distributor of building, plumbing, heating and DIY goods - Says ‘resilient’ trading performance since May 3 has continued as it backs expectations for 2023, expecting it to be in line with market expectations. Analyst revenue consensus for 2023 amounts to £473.9 million, up 5.3% from £450.0 million in 2022. Adjusted pretax profit is expected at £17.9 million, 2.9% higher than £17.4 million a year prior. Says it continues to expand its geographical presence and product range.
‘Whilst a persistently negative macroeconomic backdrop and uncertain interest rate environment has persisted throughout FY23 and has impacted consumer sentiment, our diverse product offering and end-customer base combined with our carefully executed M&A strategy has meant that softer demand in some segments of the business year to date have been offset by robust performance in others,’ Non-Executive Chair Gary O’Brien says.
