Now guides for adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation towards the lower end of market expectations, citing a range of GBP44.8 to GBP47.2 million. Expects lower demand for Bricks and associated building products to persist, and trading conditions to remain challenging for longer than previously anticipated. "The short-term factors impacting our businesses are well publicised, however, we are very excited by some of the opportunities we are seeing in the market. We continue to make further progress on our strategy, which includes diversifying the group through differentiated product offerings and acquiring higher margin revenue streams, the benefits of which we are already seeing," says CEO Alan Simpson.
