Eurocell (LSE:ECEL), the UK manufacturer of windows and doors, reported preliminary revenue growth of 13% for 2025, largely supported by the contribution from its Alunet acquisition.
Adjusted operating profit increased by 6% over the year, while adjusted pre-tax profit slipped 5% to £19 million, mainly reflecting higher financing costs. Basic earnings per share were reported at £0.10, with pre-tax profit of £12.2 million and EBIT of £17.3 million.
During the year, Eurocell completed a £5 million share buyback programme and raised its total dividend payout.
The acquisition of Alunet, finalised in March 2025, made a strong contribution to both revenue and adjusted operating profit. However, underlying sales volumes declined by 2%, as weaker market conditions—particularly within the repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) segment—continued to weigh on demand.
The company said it was able to counter cost inflation and pricing pressure through tight cost control and operational efficiencies.
Looking ahead, Eurocell said the potential implications of the situation in the Middle East remain uncertain, though it continues to view the medium- and long-term outlook for the UK construction sector as positive.
Demand in the RMI market is expected to remain relatively weak in 2026. Eurocell said it intends to continue share buybacks depending on market conditions and the strength of its balance sheet.
The company also expects Alunet to deliver another year of strong growth in 2026.
