Ex-dividend date: 07/05/2026
Record date: 08/05/2026
Payment date: 01/06/2026
Dividend cover (on adjusted basic EPS): 1.8x (FY24: 1.8x)
Shares in issue: 63,752,008; cash cost of final dividend c.£9.6m; total FY25 distribution c.£14.0m

Dividend policy and cover

Policy: progressive dividends targeting c.50% payout of earnings.
FY25 adjusted basic EPS: 40.3p; DPS: 22.0p ? payout c.55% (cover 1.8x), consistent with stated framework.

Financial support and cash flow

FY25 revenue up 25% to £84.3m; adjusted PBT up 39% to £31.0m; EBITDA up 49% to £30.3m.
Cash generated from operations: £22.1m (conversion 116% of earnings).
Net debt reduced to £2.3m; leverage <0.1x; liquidity underpinned by Barclays facilities (term loan and RCF total £22m).
Recurring revenue remains high at 51% of group revenue; franchise-led, capital-light model supports cash generation.

Sustainability and growth outlook

Dividend growth (+22%) appears well supported by higher earnings, robust cash conversion, and very low leverage.
Cover steady at 1.8x suggests room to maintain a progressive path if trading holds, with policy anchored around a ~50% payout.
Multiple growth levers (Privilege programme, Financial Services penetration, Licensing expansion, AI initiatives) plus synergy capture from 2024 acquisitions provide forward visibility.

Structural changes and potential impacts

Integration of 2024 acquisitions (Belvoir Group and GPEA/The Guild & Fine & Country) now embedded; scale and synergies bolster earnings durability and dividend capacity.
Post-period acquisition (16 Jan 2026): 85% of Smart Advice Financial Solutions (Financial Services) — modest size, earnings accretive; supports recurring adviser income and cross-sell, positive for dividend resilience.
Capital allocation: Board reiterates disciplined M&A alongside progressive ordinary dividends; with leverage low, ongoing bolt-ons should be manageable without pressuring the dividend. Potential for buy-backs or special dividends considered if surplus capital arises.

Risks and watch items for dividend stability

Regulatory change (Renters’ Rights Act): heightened compliance may pressure some landlords; managed portfolio fell to 149k (from 153k). Group argues complexity favours professional management and platform scale, but landlord attrition remains a risk to lettings MSF.
Property market cyclicality and mortgage dynamics could affect sales/MSF and Financial Services volumes, though diversification and recurring revenue mitigate volatility.
Ongoing M&A appetite: while leverage is currently minimal, a step-up in deal activity or larger targets could temporarily reprioritise cash toward investment over incremental dividend increases.
Licensing member churn (Guild members down to 725 from 749) bears monitoring, though proposition enhancements aim to restore momentum.
