Pets at Home Group Plc (LSE:PETS) has released its preliminary financial results for FY25, marking a period of strategic evolution and steady growth. The company reported modest gains in statutory revenue and a notable increase in statutory profit before tax, largely fueled by strong performance from its Vet Group. This growth came despite broader market challenges.
The past year has seen Pets at Home make significant strides in becoming a fully integrated pet care provider. Key milestones included a comprehensive upgrade to its digital systems and a revamp of its distribution network—both of which are designed to support long-term scalability and improved customer engagement. While the Vet Group recorded a 13% rise in consumer revenue, retail revenue declined slightly due to softer market conditions.
Free cash flow also saw a meaningful increase, and the company reaffirmed its commitment to expanding veterinary operations. With a new digital platform and enhanced logistics capabilities, Pets at Home aims to strengthen its omnichannel presence and sustain its growth momentum.
