Imperial Brands expects market share gains in the US, Germany and Australia to broadly offset declines in Spain and the UK, while NGP net revenues were pegged to deliver another year of double-digit growth.
Adjusted operating profits were forecast to grow at a similar rate to last year, in line with guidance, with high-single-digit adjusted earnings per share growth driven by profit expansion and a reduced share count from its ongoing buyback.
Imperial also announced a £1.45bn share buyback for FY26, reaffirming confidence in its capital allocation framework and strategic execution.
"We are pleased to report another year of operational and financial delivery as we continue our long-term transformation to become a stronger challenger business, which is more consumer-centric, focused and agile. This is the fifth and final year of our 2021 strategy and our FY25 performance provides a strong foundation as we look ahead with confidence to the next phase of our strategy to 2030," said Imperial.
