Premier brands retain growth momentum

Ultimate Products plc issued a FY2025 pre-close trading update which confirmed market expectations of a 3.4% sales decline in the period and £12.5m EBITDA. However, the company’s owned and licensed brands combined recorded a resilient 5.7% increase, while net debt at £14.1m and 1.1x EBITDA was close to the stated 1.0x target.

The company is also reviewing its listing venue with a potential move to AIM.

We retain our 165p fair value target, with emphasis on the embedded value of its two largest brands, Salter and Beldray, underpinning the investment case.
