Moonpig (Financials)
Moonpig Group sales grew 6.6% year on year to £341.1m in the year to 30 April 2024 (FY2023), which reflected a robust performance from the Moonpig brand. Adjusted EBITDA came in at £95.5m in FY2023, compared to £84.2m in FY2022, buoyed by revenue uptick and improved gross margin rate. Profit before tax increased 32.9% to £46.4m in FY2023 with “a lower charge for adjusting i8tems was offset in part by higher depreciation and amortisation and higher finance costs”.
