Pebble Group Announces Strong Half-Year Results

Pebble Group, a leading provider of technology to the promotional-products industry in the UK, reported a significant increase in pretax profit for the first half of the year. The company’s robust performance was primarily driven by a 24% boost in revenue at its Facilisgroup business. Furthermore, Pebble Group has expressed confidence that its full-year results will meet market expectations.

Impressive Financial Performance

Pretax profit for the first half of the year reached an impressive £3.1 million, compared to £2.8 million during the same period last year. This notable increase can be attributed to the company’s consistent growth and effective business strategies.

Meanwhile, revenue for Pebble Group rose to £63.3 million, up from £60.3 million previously. The Facilisgroup business, in particular, experienced exceptional growth, with revenue surging by 24% to £1.8 million. This remarkable achievement was driven by an expansion in partner numbers and the implementation of a new tiered-pricing structure. Additionally, the company’s marketing fund contributed to this growth.

Dividend Policy and Long-Term Strategies

While the board of directors remains committed to maintaining its progressive dividend policy in the medium-term, no interim dividend will be introduced at this time. Pebble Group is dedicated to delivering on its stated strategies for both Facilisgroup and Brand Addition. These businesses hold strong and unique market positions, and the company is confident about their future prospects.

Positive Outlook

Christopher Lee, the Chief Executive Officer of Pebble Group, expressed optimism about the company’s future. He stated, “We are continuing to deliver on our stated strategies for Facilisgroup and Brand Addition. Both businesses have strong and differentiated market positions, and we look forward to achieving positive results throughout 2023, in line with market expectations.”

Pebble Group’s strong financial performance and positive outlook demonstrate its commitment to excellence and its ability to adapt to market demands. With its steady growth and strategic initiatives, the company is well-positioned for future success.
