AIREA plc, the UK design-led specialist flooring company, has reported a growth in sales and profit.
According to its final results for the year ended 31 December 2025, total revenue increased by 1% to £21.45m from £21.23m in 2024.
Operating profit before valuation gain increased to £0.9m from £0.7m, while EBITDA increased to £1.7m from £1.1m the previous year.
AIREA said that the UK and ROI delivered sales growth of 2.3% in the year, with the second half performance impacted by uncertainty relating to the UK government’s November budget. Sales in the Group’s international markets were 4.0% below the prior year, reflecting the continued impact of global geopolitical instability.
Médéric Payne, Chief Executive Officer of AIREA plc, commented: “I am pleased to report on the Group’s final results for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Group delivered a solid performance in the year despite the ongoing global economic and geopolitical challenges.
“While trading was strong in the first half, momentum slowed in the second half as confidence weakened amid uncertainty relating to the UK government’s November budget. Sales for the year were 1.0% ahead of the prior year. The UK and ROI delivered sales growth of 2.3% in the year, with sales in the Group’s international markets 4.0% below the prior year.
“Operating profit increased 32.0% to £0.9m due to an improving product mix and good cost control. Cash management was strong in the year and, following the divestment of the Group’s investment property, all bank debt was settled, thereby strengthening the Group’s cash position considerably.
“Investment continued in the year in enhancing the Group’s manufacturing capabilities with the new facility expected to be fully operational in the coming months.
“It has been an encouraging start to 2026 and, whilst acknowledging the current macro volatility, the Board remains confident in the Group’s prospects for the year ahead.
“The Group is now also nearing completion of the Board’s plans to provide the platform to transform the business. Once completed, this will leave us well-positioned to deliver the Group’s long-term growth strategy.”
