H1 revenue rose 6.2% to £1.76 billion with like-for-like sales up 5.0%, underscoring resilient demand across the network. Q3 maintained this momentum with constant-currency sales growth of 4% and LFL growth of 4%, demonstrating consistency across periods (Investegate, Reuters).
Like-for-like sales in the UK & Ireland jumped 11% in Q3, driven by seasonal demand and strengthened customer propositions, highlighting SSP's leadership in its core market (Reuters).
The company completed £76 million of its £100 million share buyback by end-July and repurchased 1.14 million shares between 17–21 August, reflecting a clear commitment to returning capital to shareholders (Investegate, Investegate).
Free cash flow was negative £176 million pre-dividend and buy-back in H1, reflecting seasonal outflows and limited cash conversion early in the year (Investegate).

APAC & EEME LFL sales declined by 2% in Q3 and Gulf markets traded at only 65% of prior-year levels due to the Middle East conflict, highlighting significant regional geopolitical exposure (Reuters).
