(Sharecast News) - Y Group said on Tuesday that first-half revenue rose 19% to approximately 405m, despite warmer weather reducing energy consumption, while gross cash increased 9% to 129m.
Meter points grew 43% to 153,000 and the contract book expanded 45% to 1.7bn, including around 700m of revenue already secured for 2027.
The AIM-traded group said full-year EBITDA, earnings per share and meter targets remained in line with market expectations despite the short-term effects of the Iran conflict and lower consumption.
Smart-meter installations rose 27% to 12,000, meters owned increased 37% to around 55,000 and annualised indexed income from the portfolio reached 3.0m, as Y continued to target a 7% to 9% UK market share by 2028.
