First-pass take

Pure cyclical building materials distributor with zero AI exposure. Adjusted operating profit down 24% YoY on 2% revenue decline, demonstrating negative operating leverage. Oracle implementation troubles ongoing; management change imminent (new CEO Jan 2026). Toolstation growing but too small to offset Merchanting weakness. Market outlook uncertain.
