In a post-close update ahead of its interim results on 9 December, the AIM-traded firm said unaudited figures for the 26 weeks ended 29 September showed “significant progress”, including better adjusted EBITDA and margins and a stronger cash position.

Management said performance since the September annual general meeting had remained consistent with the full-year guidance issued in August.

Naked Wines also confirmed it had completed its first share buyback programme on 11 September, repurchasing £2m of shares.

The board said the move “has increased intrinsic value per share for all remaining shareholders.”

The group reiterated its 2026 financial year guidance, including revenue of £200m to £216m, adjusted EBITDA of £5.5m to £7.5m excluding inventory liquidation costs, and year-end net cash of £35m to £39m.

It said it was continuing to target £12m of medium-term inventory liquidation and associated costs to accelerate cash generation, with further details due alongside the half-year results.

At 1426 GMT, shares in Naked Wines were up 0.27% at 73p.
