What the company reported
A.G. Barr said revenue rose 8.5% to £247.4m, helped by the Fentimans and Frobishers acquisitions, and adjusted profit before tax rose 2.6% to £36.1m. Statutory profit before tax fell 3.7% to £33.9m after one-off costs of integrating Fentimans. Supply problems in the summer peak cost an estimated £10m of revenue, the company said, adding that they are resolved and that it remains on track for full-year market expectations.
Chief executive Euan Sutherland said the core brand portfolio “performed well in the market” despite supply constraints. Value sales rose 7.2% against growth of 6.7% for the UK soft drinks market. Adjusted operating margin held at 15.0%, and adjusted EPS was 24.99p against 24.90p, while statutory basic EPS fell to 23.82p from 24.90p. Net bank debt was £47.0m, against £41.3m of net cash a year earlier, reflecting acquisitions and capital spending of £23.4m (£11.0m a year earlier).
The company expects about 10% full-year revenue growth and an adjusted operating margin of about 15%. It declared an interim dividend of 3.82p, up 11% from 3.44p, payable on the 6th of November to shareholders on the register on the 9th of October.
