2020 Full Year Results Announcement
RAC Bond Co PLC has today reported the consolidated results of RAC Bidco Limited (“Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2020. The results can be found on the ISE website or via http://www.raccorporate.co.uk/for-investors/results-reports-and-presentations.
RAC Bidco Limited consolidated highlights:
Growth in EBITDA and operating cashflow, with overall revenue marginally down as continued growth in subscription revenues largely offset Covid-19 volume related reductions:
Revenue reduction of 1% to £624 million (2019: £631 million)
EBITDA up 7% to £241 million (2019: £226 million)
Operating profit up 25% to £126 million (2019: £101 million)
Operating Cashflow up 8% to £222 million (2019: £205 million)
Operating Cash conversion of 92% (2019: 91%)
Ended 2020 with 12.7 million members, an increase of 600,000 during the year
Dave Hobday, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“It’s been a tough year and we were hit with unprecedented Covid-19 challenges. Our priorities were safely delivering service, keeping roads clear, and securing colleague employment and wellbeing.
Against that backdrop, I am proud of the progress of RAC in 2020 delivering our 9th consecutive year of growth and increasing our membership base by 600,000 to 12.7 million.
2021 has seen our momentum and progress continue giving us confidence for the year ahead.
Our investments in new markets, underpinned by digital and data are encouraging. We are excited about the long-term future and RAC’s position at the heart of new mobility ecosystems.”
