Other financial highlights include:
• Inchcape volumes up 9%, driven by contract wins, with TIV in Inchcape markets up 8%
• Organic revenue growth of 5%; reported revenue growth of 9%, up 7% at constant currency, to £4.7bn, driven by supportive market conditions and contribution from contracts won in recent years
• Adjusted operating profit of £248m down (2)% in constant currency and adjusted operating margins down (40)bps to 5.3%, driven by headwinds in APAC, particularly Australia, partly offset by margin expansion in the Americas and Europe & Africa
• Adjusted PBT down (6)% to £188m, due to higher finance costs. Statutory PBT down (33)% to £124m, reflecting £64m of adjusting items, primarily relating to restructuring costs, mainly in APAC
• Five distribution contract wins so far this year and continued growth from existing contract base, exiting 15 immaterial, dilutive contracts across the Group (these contracts represent new vehicle volumes of c.5,000 in FY 2025, equivalent to c.1.5% of the Group's total new vehicle volumes)
