Punch Pubs Group recorded a rise in both revenue and earnings for the year ending 10 August 2025, supported by acquisitions and site investments across its UK estate.
The operator, which runs 1,266 pubs nationwide, posted turnover of £337.9 million, an increase from £323.5 million the previous year. EBITDA climbed to £95.8 million from £88.6 million. The company attributed the performance to recent purchases of individual pubs and small portfolios, as well as the continued growth of its converted pub partnerships.
During the 52 weeks, Punch Pubs invested £20 million to acquire 35 additional pubs and a further £40 million in capital projects for expansion and upkeep. Despite these investments, the group reported a pre-tax loss of £22.8 million compared with a £600,000 profit the year before.
The business noted that the first eight weeks of the new financial year to 5 October 2025 have shown strong trading, with EBITDA exceeding the same period in 2024. The company’s acquisition-driven model and reinvestment strategy indicate ongoing confidence in the long-term performance of the managed pub sector.
