Pre-Close Trading Update

Brickability Group plc (AIM: BRCK), the leading construction materials distributor, is pleased to provide the following update on trading for the year ended 31 March 2022.

As set out in the Company's Trading Update of 18 January 2022, the Group commenced the second half of the financial year with each of Brickability's business divisions delivering strong performance and with the Group then expecting that demand for the Group's diverse multi business product offering would continue to build throughout the remainder of the year.

The Group is now pleased to confirm that due to ongoing positive momentum, this strong delivery has continued, with a very strong fourth quarter of the full financial year having been achieved.

As a result, the Group announces that it now expects to report revenues for the full year ended 31 March 2022 of approximately GBP520 million and adjusted EBITDA* of not less than GBP38 million, ahead of current market expectations.

Whilst remaining conscious of potential inflationary impacts, near term macro-economic conditions and the prevailing global geo-political backdrop, the Group believes that the underlying long term demand for UK housing remains robust as does the demand for quality materials for the construction sector generally. The Board remains confident that the Group is well placed to continue delivering on its strategic objectives and the underlying organic growth of the business.

In addition, the acquisition pipeline remains strong with the Group assessing a number of potential opportunities in line with the Group's stated strategy to provide geographic and product expansion.

The Group will notify the date of its full year results for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022 in due course.

*Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, share option expense, acquisition costs and exceptional items.
