Motorpoint Group plc Announces Revenue Guidance for Fiscal Year 2024 Motorpoint Group Plc announced revenue guidance for Fiscal year 2024. As a result of the pricing corrections in Q3, which was exacerbated by the timing of the Group's seasonal increase in stock, in addition to the disruption caused by the Derby store closure, profitability for FY24 is now likely to be £5 million to £6 million below expectations, even with an anticipated strong Q4.
