With the sale of the US business to IBF alongside the UK restructuring actions announced in May, I am pleased with our execution against this plan. The UK business is on track to be profitable in H2, in line with our guidance. Over the medium term we expect net income growth of 15-20% CAGR with PBT margins of >15%.”
