Aga Rangemaster braces for tariffs hit
Regarding potential US tariff consequences, the business stated: "Our strong manufacturing footprint, combined with a global operating presence, position us well to navigate recent tariff-related challenges and provide us competitive advantages over the long term.
"At this time, tariff impacts remain highly uncertain, with initial estimates indicating an increase of our costs.
"We expect to offset these increases through ongoing operating initiatives and pricing actions, with the benefits of these measures fully implemented by year end."
Aga Rangemaster further stated: "The company has been negatively impacted by inflation in wages, logistics, energy, raw materials and component costs.
"Price increases and pricing strategies have been implanted to mitigate the impact of cost inflation on margins and the company continues to actively monitor costs.
"High inflation led to high interest rates throughout 2024 and into the first six months of 2025, which combined with global macroeconomic uncertainty can impact customer demand.
"The company has faced recent demand headwinds. The company remains focused on delivering strong financial results and executing on our long-term strategy and profitability objectives."
