Gear4Music Holdings PLC - York, England-based retailer of musical instruments and equipment - Revenue rises 5.6% to £49.0 million in the three months that ended December 31, Gear4Music’s financial third quarter, from £46.4 million a year before. Within this, UK revenue jumps by 13% to £29.7 million from £26.2 million, while European & Rest of the World revenue slips 4.5% to £19.3 million from £20.2 million. Gross profit is £13.7 million, up from £13.1 million a year before, as gross margin is maintained essentially steady at 28.1%.

Gear4Music warns of a ‘challenging consumer environment, particularly in certain European markets’. The late Black Friday weekend last year concentrated revenue into the three weeks before Christmas, it says. So far in January, trading is in line with board expectations.

Financial 2025 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation will be in line with market expectations, Gear4Music says, citing these as Ebitda of £11.7 million, pretax profit of £2.8 million and revenue of £154.7 million. This will compare to adjusted Ebitda of £9.9 million, adjusted pretax profit of £1.1 million, and revenue of £144.4 million in financial 2024. Gear4Music says it expects ‘continued profitable growth’ in financial 2026.
