CEPS PLC (LSE:CEPS) has released its full-year results for 2024, reporting a 6.4% increase in total revenue to £31.6 million despite a challenging economic environment. The company delivered a 4.2% growth in earnings per share, reflecting resilience amid rising administrative expenses and broader market pressures.

Within its portfolio, Aford Awards managed to sustain its EBITDA performance despite a tough trading backdrop, while Signature Fabrics experienced a drop in sales but made key management enhancements to strengthen its position. The company’s operations were affected by macroeconomic factors such as inflationary pressures and wage fluctuations, which influenced both costs and consumer demand.
