Inchcape plc

In the first half of 2026, Inchcape volumes grew by 9% versus Total Industry Volumes in Inchcape markets which were up 8%. This was driven by distribution contract wins in recent years, and the diversified portfolio we have built under our Accelerate+ strategy. We expect to deliver a year of growth in 2026, with organic volume growth at the top end of our 3% - 5% guidance range, adjusted operating margins of c.6%, supported by scale and cost discipline, and free cashflow conversion of greater than 100%. Supported by our current share buyback programme, increased to £250m today, we remain confident in growing adjusted EPS by >10% this year, in line with our medium-term guidance.

In 2025, the automotive industry continued to transform, with the shift towards lower emission vehicles gathering pace across many of our markets. But as we see every day, this transition doesn’t look the same everywhere. Our 2025 Sustainability Report sets out how Inchcape is navigating this change and accelerating the global mobility transition, locally – supporting markets, partners and customers at different stages, and embedding Sustainability into how we deliver Accelerate+. Thank you to all our colleagues across the globe who help to deliver our Sustainability commitments every day. 🎥 Watch the video to see our 2025 highlights and read the full report online 👉 https://lnkd.in/eifGFym7
