Trading Update and Notice of Results

The Board of The Pebble Group, a leading provider of technology, services and products to the global promotional products industry, announces that the Group's results for the year ending 31 December 2023 ("FY 23"), which will be published on Tuesday 19 March 2024, are expected to be in line with current market expectations following the Trading Update made on 22 November 2023.

Group revenue will be circa GBP124m (FY 22: GBP134.0m), which is expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA at circa GBP16m (FY 22: GBP18.0m).

Cash generation was slightly ahead of expectations, with Group net cash (excluding IFRS 16 liabilities) at 31 December 2023 of GBP15.9m (31 December 2022: GBP15.1m).

Facilisgroup has continued to deliver highly attractive profit margins with EBITDA margins expected to be at circa 50% for FY 23 and revenue expected to be over USD22m (FY 22: USD20.4m).

Brand Addition revenue is expected to be circa GBP106m (FY 22: GBP117.4m) delivered on increased gross margins compared to 2022. This decrease in revenue has been driven principally by the spend of our Technology and Consumer clients, whilst revenue from our Engineering and Transport sector clients has been more robust. Client retention continues to be high.

Both of our businesses remain strong financially, are differentiated within their respective markets and have a clear strategic plan. Our balance sheet is robust and we will update stakeholders on the start of 2024 trading alongside the announcement of our FY 23 Final Results.
