CDA has returned to profitability for the first time since 2020, following a strong trading performance in 2025 that saw the British kitchen appliance brand outperform the wider market across all four of its core categories.
The business, which is the UK subsidiary of Amica Group, reported turnover of £42m and improved its profitability (PBT) by £3.4m, marking a significant milestone after an eighteen-month period of restructuring and operational reset.
CDA said it delivered growth ahead of the UK appliance market in cooking, refrigeration, washing and companion appliances, resulting in a clear gain in market share. Based on AMDEA data, the overall market (volume) is estimated to have grown by 0.4 per cent in 2025, while CDA’s volumes increased by 7 per cent.
The performance comes as the business continues to invest across service, operations and product development, while responding to shifting consumer priorities.
Collaboration with its Polish listed parent company and other European subsidiaries has supported improvements in margin performance and supply chain efficiency, alongside the successful rollout of new product ranges and the Matrix sub-brand into the UK market.
According to CDA, while the appliance sector is often perceived as price-driven, its results highlight growing demand for a more complete proposition, with aftersales support, reliability and service playing an increasingly important role in purchasing decisions. The business pointed to its UK-based customer care team, Trustpilot “Great” rating, industry-leading first-time fix rates and the launch of a lifetime parts warranty as key differentiators.
During the year, CDA also invested in renewing both its engineering and delivery fleets to support improved service reliability and consistency.
Alongside this, the business has continued to strengthen relationships with trade partners, with a focus on making it easier to work with CDA across the full customer journey, from onboarding and ordering through to delivery and ongoing support.
CDA also confirmed it has become the first and only kitchen appliance brand to receive ethical accreditation from The Good Shopping Guide, recognising its approach to responsible sourcing and sustainability.
Chris Ward, managing director of CDA Group Ltd, said: “Returning to profitability at PBT level for the first time since 2020 is a significant milestone for the business and reflects the progress we have made over the past 18 months. We have focused on strengthening the fundamentals across service, product and partnerships, and it is particularly encouraging to see that we are outperforming the wider market across all four of our key categories. That momentum is translating into market share gains and provides a strong platform for future growth.
“2025 marks the first year of our three-year financial transformation and we are encouraged to be ahead of plan. This progress is a testament to the efforts of the entire team, and I would like to recognise their outstanding contribution since our recovery began in October 2024.”
Robert Stobiński, group CEO and president at Amica, added: “CDA’s performance in 2025 reflects the impact of the actions taken to strengthen the business. Outperforming the market while returning to profitability is a strong result, and the progress made in the first year of the transformation programme provides confidence as the business continues to accelerate into 2026.”
Looking ahead, CDA said it enters 2026 with a strong forward order book already in place, providing clear visibility into the year ahead and supporting expectations of continued momentum. The business expects its transformation programme to accelerate further in 2026 as it builds on the foundations established in 2025.
