Foxtons Group (LON:FOXT) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results

Foxtons Group (LON:FOXT) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The company reported GBX 1.80 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, Digital Look Earnings reports. Foxtons Group had a net margin of 7.45% and a return on equity of 8.96%.

Here are the key takeaways from Foxtons Group’s conference call:

• Neutral Sentiment: H1 revenue fell 3% to £84.2 million and adjusted operating profit declined 29% to £8.9 million, reflecting a 13% drop in Sales revenue and £3 million of Lettings revenue reversals from tenant-led terminations after the Renters’ Rights Act took effect.
• Positive Sentiment: Lettings revenue was flat despite the RRA disruption, with underlying like-for-like revenue up £1.9 million, property-management penetration rising 10%, ancillary-products revenue increasing 17%, and Build to Rent continuing to grow.
• Positive Sentiment: Foxtons expects the RRA to create medium-term growth opportunities as regulatory complexity drives landlords toward professional management, while strong tenant demand—averaging 17 renters per property—continues to exceed constrained supply.
• Negative Sentiment: The Sales market remains weak, with London exchange volumes down 13% and transaction volumes down 11%; management said current sales-agreed levels indicate that a meaningful recovery is unlikely in the near term, prompting £3 million of annualized Sales cost savings and operational restructuring.
• Neutral Sentiment: Management maintained its 2026 adjusted operating-profit guidance of £17 million–£19 million, weighted toward the second half, while net debt rose to £28.4 million after acquisitions, shareholder returns, and working-capital investment linked to annual landlord billing.
