Genuit Group plc (LSE:GEN), the UK provider of sustainable water, climate and ventilation products, has issued a trading update for the ten months ending 31 October 2025. The company reported growth across all three of its business divisions, supported by acquisitions completed earlier in the year, while near-term market conditions remained subdued ahead of the UK Government’s November Budget.

Genuit Posts Revenue Growth Across All Divisions

Genuit reported continued revenue growth for the four months to 31 October 2025, despite reduced market activity linked to purchasing delays ahead of the UK Budget. Revenue rose 7.1% on a reported basis and 3.7% like-for-like during the period. For the first ten months of 2025, group revenue reached GBP 511.1 million, an increase of 8.4% year-on-year on a reported basis and 5.1% like-for-like.

The Group expects full-year Underlying Operating Profit to fall between GBP 92 million and GBP 95 million, citing a slowdown in market volumes compared with the first half of the year. Sequential margin improvement is anticipated in the second half due to pricing actions, productivity improvements and cost efficiencies.

Division Performance Shows Broad-Based Growth

Climate Management Solutions generated revenue of GBP 61.9 million for the four-month period, up 9.0% on a reported basis and 4.5% like-for-like. Year-to-date revenue of GBP 149.5 million marked a 10.4% reported increase. Demand remained firm in residential ventilation, supported by multi-storey newbuild and refurbishment activity.

Water Management Solutions Advances with Blue-Green Roofing

Water Management Solutions delivered revenue of GBP 61.5 million for the period, rising 3.3% on a reported basis and 0.7% like-for-like. Year-to-date revenue reached GBP 147.7 million, reflecting 7.3% reported growth. The division continued to benefit from expansion in Sky Garden’s blue-green roof offering, acquired in 2024.

Sustainable Building Solutions Gains Market Share

Sustainable Building Solutions reported GBP 87.8 million in revenue for the four months to October, an 8.5% reported increase and 5.2% like-for-like. Year-to-date revenue of GBP 208.0 million represented an 8.1% reported rise. The division secured additional UK drainage market share following a competitor exit and new contract awards.

Acquisitions Strengthen Fourth-Quarter Outlook

Genuit completed the acquisitions of Monodraught and Davidson Holdings in September. Together, the two businesses are expected to contribute approximately GBP 13 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025. Integration is progressing, with operational and commercial alignment underway and anticipated financial contribution beginning in 2026.

The company continued its focus on the Genuit Business System, delivering productivity gains to help counteract subdued market volumes and increased employment-related costs earlier in the year.

Outlook

Genuit anticipates that softer trading conditions will persist through the remainder of 2025 and into early 2026 due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the UK economic backdrop and potential Budget implications. Despite this, the Group reiterates expectations for sequential margin improvement in the second half of 2025 and maintains its focus on higher-growth sustainability-linked market segments, efficiency programmes and further development of its acquisition pipeline.
