2024 results: reasons to be cheerful 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

H&T’s 2024 results were reassuringly in line with expectations, delivering 10% PBT growth, with the pledge book capital value up 26%, retail sales up 27% and forex profits up 11%. The outlook remains positive, with i) strong demand in the core pawnbroking business where H&T is taking share and may have increasing acquisition opportunities, ii) consumer trends favouring its multi-channel, value-for-money, new and used product retail offering, iii) an expanding range of currencies helping forex growth, iv) a continued high Gold price, and v) growth in store numbers helping all product lines. Economies of increasing scale will help mitigate cost growth that is outside management control.
