Centaur has received a preliminary expression of interest from Waterland PE Investments, which may or may not lead to an offer being made. The group’s FY23 results marked the end of its MAP23 margin acceleration plan. This saw the adjusted EBITDA margin more than doubling over three years to 26%, ahead of the original 23% target, despite the unhelpful economic backdrop. The recent CMD set out the overarching strategy for the next period to FY27, with a mid-term revenue target of £60m, pre any M&A.
