Matthew Crummack, Group CEO of D&G, said:
“These are strong results underpinned by improving revenue quality as more customers choose to take subscription plans. This is the case both in the UK, our largest market, and internationally. We have also worked hard to enhance the customer experience, making it easier for people to book a repair or replacement online, and our digitalisation programme is a core part of our growth strategy.
In the US, our newest market, our start-up operation is licensed in all states and our sales performance to date is encouraging. The customer response to our offering with launch partner Whirlpool has been positive.
We are very conscious of the continuing inflationary environment and cost-of-living crisis affecting many households today. Against this backdrop, our products are giving people protection and peace of mind should something go wrong with a critical appliance. We can see this sentiment feeding into our consistent financial performance with subscription customer retention rates remaining strong. Our business model continues to respond well to inflationary pressures.”
