Topps Tiles PLC reported a 1.3% decline in group revenue to around £292 million for the year ending September 26, affected by prior store closures and extreme heat disrupting Q4 sales. Despite this, the company expects its adjusted profit before tax to meet analyst consensus at about £6.6 million, supported by growth in Pro Tiler Tools and online sales, which now make up over 22% of revenue. The company completed a self-help program including store optimization and cost reductions, positioning it to continue outperforming the broader home improvement market. The acquisition of Fired Earth also contributed positively to profits during the year.
