**Summary**
XP Factory Plc, a leading UK experiential leisure company operating the Escape Hunt and Boom Battle Bar brands, released a trading update for the 2025/26 festive period. Key highlights include
1. **Record Quarterly Sales**UK Owned and Operated (O&O) revenue grew by 4.2% in the 13 weeks to December 28, 2025, with Escape Hunt O&O sales up 10.0% driven by new site openings and 6.4% like-for-like (LFL) growth.
2. **Financial Performance**Year-to-date Group unaudited pre-IFRS 16 adjusted EBITDA reached £4.8m, slightly <mark style="background-color:yellow">above</mark> the prior year. Escape Hunt maintained strong site-level EBITDA margins of circa 43%, while Boom’s margins were circa 18%.
3. **Boom Challenges**Boom O&O sales grew 2.5%, but LFL sales declined by 7.2% due to weak consumer demand, despite strong corporate bookings. Labour cost increases and sector softness impacted margins.
4. **Cost Control**The company achieved £2m in annualised cost savings to mitigate rising costs and LFL declines.
5. **Net Debt**: As of December 282025net debt stood at £5.6m.
6. **Outlook**FY26 EBITDA is expected to be below market estimates, with pre-IFRS 16 adjusted EBITDA projected at £5.0m to £6.0m. FY27 will focus on consolidation, with a slower pace of new site openings due to macroeconomic uncertainty.
7. **Long-Term Confidence**Despite near-term challenges, XP Factory remains confident in its long-term growth potential, positioning itself as a leader in the consolidating experiential leisure and competitive socialising sectors.
The company highlighted Escape Hunt’s resilience and Boom’s potential to thrive once market conditions improve, emphasizing its scale advantage in a consolidating industry.

Revenue Engine

Latest quarter printed 28.2M with the top line pushing higher against the last comparable period.

Profit Stack

Net income landed at -1.8M and the margin profile is broadening. That usually tells us whether operating leverage is finally kicking in.

Balance-Sheet Pressure

Cash sits near 4.5M while net debt is 42.3M. The leverage stack is moving the wrong way.

Quarterly Revenue Runway

Actual revenue bars, consensus revenue where available, plus the terminal model path.

Profit And Cash Conversion

Net income and free cash flow moving together is usually what separates genuine improvement from noise.

Balance-Sheet Pressure

Cash, net debt and liquidity tell us whether the business is strengthening or just surviving.

Annual Power Curve

Longer-cycle revenue and net income help frame whether the company is compounding or rolling over.
