Bridgepoint raises 2026 EBITDA guidance, sets new capital return framework

Bridgepoint Group Plc (LON:BPTB) has raised its 2026 earnings forecast after revaluing ProEnergy, an asset held in its Energy Capital Partners (ECP) V fund, resulting in increased expected profit from the fund. The company now anticipates performance-related earnings (PRE) to make up 37-39% of total income for the year, up from the previous 20-25% guidance.

Bridgepoint expects an EBITDA margin of around 60% in 2026 and 2027 and aims to return 40-60% of cash from profits over five years, including an annual ordinary dividend of 40-45% of earnings per share and additional returns through ordinary or special dividends or share buybacks.
