Artisanal Spirits Company PLC ( (GB:ART) ) has issued an announcement.
Artisanal Spirits Company reported a challenging 2025, with revenue falling to £19.9m from £23.6m and an adjusted EBITDA loss of £1.9m, as a U.S. government shutdown and a strategic change to its U.S. route-to-market delayed shipments and increased costs. Despite the setback and weaker Asian demand, growth in cask sales, U.K. venues and Single Cask Nation, along with tight cost control and a redesigned organisation, helped diversify income and stabilise membership at around 39,700.
The group refinanced its revolving credit facility with Santander on improved terms, continues to hold substantial cask inventory with an independent valuation far above book value, and is preparing a new U.S. distribution model that will align revenue with in-market depletions and deliver cost savings. New franchise agreements in India and Vietnam, the launch of the Artisan Casks luxury private cask brand, and solid early 2026 trading position ASC to benefit when premium spirits demand recovers, though management remains cautious given subdued consumer confidence and geopolitical risks.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ART) stock is a Hold with a £32.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Artisanal Spirits Company PLC stock, see the GB:ART Stock Forecast page.
