Record half-year performance for Young's

Young’s, the operator of pubs and bedrooms in London and the south of England, has announced its half-year results for the 26 weeks ended 29 September 2025.

During the period, the pub business delivered a record half-year performance. Total revenue increased 5.4% to £263.6m and adjusted EBITDA rose 5.9% to £62.5m. 

Young's, led by Simon Dodd, also saw a 5.7% like-for-like sales increase over the 26 weeks. Adjusted profit before tax was up 9.9% to £31.1m. 

"Our proven strategy and unwavering commitment to operating a premium, well-invested managed house estate continues to be reflected in these results, with a record first half performance following another strong period of trading and market outperformance," says Dodd.

"I am particularly proud that this performance was achieved against a backdrop of significant ongoing cost headwinds. Record trading in our estate over the summer, our biggest ever Wimbledon fortnight and the full benefit of City Pub Group integration synergies helped to offset the impact of these pressures."

During the six months, £12.6m of investment went into the Young's existing estate. Like-for-like revenue for the last 13 weeks was ahead of last year by 4.2%.

"The second half has started well, but we remain mindful of ongoing economic uncertainty and its potential impact on consumer sentiment, and we will continue to monitor trading conditions closely," adds Dodd. "Despite everything we have faced in recent years, Young’s is well-positioned to continue to perform well financially thanks to the unparalleled quality of our estate and our resilient business model."
