Topps Tiles - Signs of stabilisation in Q324
Topps Tiles’ (TPT’s) brand strength continues to shine through with ongoing market share gains versus a weak repair, maintenance and improvement sector. There is also some encouragement that overall revenue trends were relatively unchanged through Q324, with no deterioration versus what was reported for the first seven weeks, albeit it remains challenging overall. For the individual group companies, the trends and narrative are consistent with recent updates: Omni-channel remains weak given the difficult but slowly improving macroeconomic environment; Online Pure Play continues to grow strongly; and Parkside (Commercial) remains profitable despite the challenging backdrop. The trading update also indicates progress on the initiatives announced as part of the updated long-term strategy and new financial goal, Mission 365, which are expected to generate significant revenue (£365m) and profit growth (adjusted PBT margin of 8–10%) even with management’s assumption of limited recovery in the market. A cyclical recovery would be additionally helpful to estimates and, no doubt, for sentiment towards the share price. Our forecasts are under review and will be updated shortly.Topps Tiles Plc is a United Kingdom-based retailer of tiles.
