Report

Record revenue and industry leading LFL growth

Loungers has reported record revenue of £283.5m, up 85% on pre-Covid FY19. 29 new sites opened during the year, taking the total to 222 at year end. Excluding the continued estate expansion, like-for-like revenue growth was up 7.4% on the last year, and an impressive industry-leading 17.6% over the last three years.

Inflationary pressures have impacted margins, especially wage inflation, while the results also reflect the end of government Covid-support measures. The adjusted EBITDA margin (IFRS16) was 16.7%, down from 22.6% in FY22 and 18.7% in FY19. However, management reports that inflationary pressures are easing and they aim to restore margins to pre-Covid levels over the medium-term.
