Epwin Group supplies functional, low-maintenance exterior building products (including windows, doors, roofline and rainwater goods) into a number of UK market segments and is a modest exporter.
Epwin is exposed to both repair, maintain, improve (RMI, c 70% revenue) and newbuild (c 30%) in the UK housing market. In the market recovery phase from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, RMI has clearly been the stronger sub-sector though UK newbuild fundamentals remain favourable.

Epwin’s FY22 trading update confirmed that revenue for the year increased by around 8% to £355m, driven mainly by inflationary price increases and bolt-on acquisitions. It also confirmed that despite the inflationary headwinds, it expects to report significantly higher profit versus FY21. Year end net debt rose to £18m, which was better than market expectations. In the second half of the year, Epwin announced the acquisition of PVC reprocessor Poly-Pure for £15m and the purchase of Hampton Decking for £4m, both in line with its strategy. Epwin remains on track to achieve revised FY22 expectations and will report full year results on 4 April.
