First-pass take

Furniture retailer with no material AI exposure. Solid FCF generation (£92.6m) but cyclical business heavily exposed to weak UK consumer confidence and housing market. Leveraged at 1.95x EBITDA above 1.5x target; DFS core brand declining while Sofology acquired growth provides some offset.
