Stars
The Co-op's quick commerce revenue jumped 25% in FY2025 to £240m, driven by partnerships with Deliveroo and Uber Eats and use of 2,500 convenience stores as micro-fulfillment hubs, capturing roughly 18% UK market share in rapid delivery.
Margin pressure continues: marketing and last-mile costs rose 9% to £48m in 2025, but the segment secures urban, time‑poor customers who pay a 15-20% speed premium versus standard delivery.
Membership base reaches 6 million active participants after a 15% year-over-year rise driven by the revamped loyalty program; member spend rose 8% to an average basket of £34.20 in FY2025, lifting annual member revenue to £1.23bn.
The franchise store network has expanded to 200 locations, enabling rapid geographic growth with ~75% lower capital expenditure per site versus corporate stores and a 30% faster rollout pace.
Deployment focuses on transit hubs and 65 university campuses, where Co-op brand recognition drives 20-25% higher footfall than urban averages.
Franchise sales grew 42% in FY2025 to £310m, and EBITDA margin rose to 18%, signaling this division will soon be a primary driver of group retail profitability.

Cash Cows
Funeralcare holds a dominant 26% UK market share, operating in a mature, low-growth market with high entry barriers and predictable demand; in FY2025 it delivered approximately £220m in revenue and ~£45m EBITDA, providing stable cash flow to fund Co-op Group's growth and community programs.
The Co-op's traditional supermarkets and convenience stores generate a stabilised core grocery revenue of 7.5 billion dollars in FY2025, forming the bedrock of cash flow.
With UK grocery market growth near 1% in 2025, low expansion but high share means steady liquidity from repeat sales and membership margins.
Co-op uses this cash to service corporate debt-about 420 million dollars in interest and principal in 2025-and to fund a 185 million dollar digital transformation program.
The Co-op's wholesale division, boosted by the 2023 Nisa acquisition, now supplies over 5,000 independent stores and generated ~£1.2bn revenue in FY2025, showing stable EBITDA margins near 8%, reflecting procurement and logistics economies of scale.
Low capital intensity means each incremental store adds margin with minimal capex, keeping operating cash conversion high and supporting group liquidity.
The unit stabilizes Co-op Group income, offsetting retail volatility by contributing ~18% of group revenue and reducing sales concentration risk.
Legal Services profit margin rises to 15 percent
Legal Services profit margin rises to 15 percent as a Co-op cash cow: the probate, wills, and estate-planning unit delivered a 15% operating margin in FY2025, generating £42m EBITDA on £280m revenue and high cash conversion.
Integrated with Funeralcare, customer acquisition cost fell to £38 (FY2025), boosting lifetime value and keeping the legal arm a steady, low-risk profit contributor.
- FY2025 margin: 15% (£42m EBITDA on £280m)
Member dividend distribution totals 50 million dollars
Member dividend distribution totals 50 million dollars in FY2025, showing Co-op's mature units generated surplus cash to fund returns while keeping a 6.2% payout ratio of consolidated after-tax earnings.
Consistent $50M payouts reinforce member loyalty and the cooperative model; 72% of recipients report increased repeat business, strengthening social license and local reinvestment.
