Shares in The Beauty Tech Group plc have soared in early trading following the publication of its half-year results.

For the six months ended 30th June, revenue increased by 44.3% to £79.7m (H1 FY2025: £55.2m).

Profit before tax increased by a huge 250% to £17.5m (H1 FY2025: £5m), reflecting strong margin growth and the removal of financing costs before its £300m IPO in October 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 53% to £21.3m (H1 FY2025: £13.9m) with margin expansion to 26.7% (H1 FY2025: 25.2%).

The Beauty Tech Group, based in Cheshire, owns brands including CurrentBody Skin, ZIIP Beauty and Tria Laser, which are used by stars such as Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian.

It saw its share price rise 12% in early trading, hitting 392 pence by 9.25am to give it a market cap of more than £430m. It is 42% up over the last six months.

This morning the group also signalled an intention to launch an up to £20m share buyback programme.

It has also made an initial investment in its own laboratory, opening in early 2027, which it says will allow it to explore new ways of using and improving its existing technologies in-house and at greater pace – with independent laboratories continuing to validate the results it takes to market.

The board remains confident in delivering full-year revenue in line with the upgraded guidance announced on 7th July 2026 of no less than £170m. However it now anticipates adjusted EBITDA for the full year to be ahead of its prior guidance, and to be no less than £48.5m.

“At-home beauty technology is the fastest-growing part of the beauty market and we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of it through our three distinct brands: CurrentBody Skin, ZIIP Beauty and Tria Laser,” said Laurence Newman, founder and CEO.

“In parallel with our considerable growth rate, our business has continued to go from strength to strength. We have entered the second half, typically our strongest period of trading, with real momentum and a significant launch pipeline, and as a result I remain confident in the outlook for the year.”
