THE BEAUTY TECH GROUP PLC ( " THE BEAUTY TECH GROUP " , " COMPANY " OR THE " GROUP " ) INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2026 Technology leadership and brand strength underpin another period of strong revenue growth and margin expansion . The Beauty Tech Group plc ( LSE : TBTG ) today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 ( " H1 FY2026 " ) . In H1 FY2026 , Adjusted EBITDA grew 53.0 % to £ 21.3m on revenue growth of 44.3 % , with Adjusted EBITDA margin improving to 26.7 % ( H1 FY2025 : 25.2 % ) . This continues the consistent improvement in both revenue and margin delivered over each of the last five years . The Group remains well positioned within a category that has grown at two to four times the rate of the wider beauty market and still accounts for only around 1 % of what consumers spend on beauty in its core markets .

Free cash flow in H1 FY2025 was negative , reflecting the first - half working capital build and £ 0.9m of interest paid on pre - IPO borrowings , so a conversion percentage for that half is not meaningful ( n / m ) . The Group monitors conversion on a rolling twelve - month basis ; see Cash flow and cash flow conversion in the Chief Financial Officer's Review .

The Group completed significant studies with independent laboratories during the half , exploring new ways of using its technologies and new ways of improving the skin . Its study with the University of Manchester continues , using biopsy analysis to measure change in the skin itself rather than relying on surface measurement or self - reported outcomes . We believe it is the first time this has been done on a home - use LED device . Initial findings have been published , with the full report to follow Initial investment in the Group's own laboratory , opening in early 2027.
