Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed picture, with strategic investments and growth initiatives in Primark and the Ingredients segment highlighting positive aspects. However, significant challenges in the Sugar segment and a decline in overall group revenue and profit indicate financial difficulties. The consumer environment remains challenging, impacting Primark's sales performance. While ABF is taking steps to address these issues, the balance of highlights and lowlights suggests a cautious outlook.
Company Guidance
During the call, ABF provided guidance on several key financial metrics and strategic initiatives. For the fiscal year ending September 13, 2025, the group's sales decreased by 1%, while adjusted operating profit fell by 12%, primarily due to a decline in sugar profits from close to GBP 200 million in 2024 to breakeven in 2025. Despite these challenges, ABF maintained its interim and final dividends in line with the previous year and announced a new GBP 250 million buyback program to be completed in 2026. The company invested GBP 1.2 billion in capital across Primark and its food businesses, with a focus on long-term growth and cash generation. Additionally, Primark's sales grew by 1% to GBP 9.5 billion, although like-for-like sales declined by 2.3%. The group expects to deliver growth in adjusted operating profit and adjusted EPS for 2026, with Primark anticipating a subdued consumer environment but focusing on initiatives to strengthen its value proposition. Sugar profits are expected to improve slightly, while grocery and ingredients profit levels are anticipated to remain stable.
New Share Buyback Program
ABF announced a new share buyback program of GBP 250 million to be completed in 2026, demonstrating confidence in future growth.
Investment in Growth and Innovation
ABF invested GBP 1.2 billion across Primark and food businesses, focusing on technology, automation, and expansion, indicating a strong commitment to long-term growth.
Primark's Expansion and Digital Initiatives
Primark opened 23 new stores in Europe and the U.S., launched a new store design concept, and rolled out Click & Collect service to all British stores, showcasing strategic growth and digital integration.
Strong Performance in Ingredients Segment
Ingredients segment saw a 16% growth in adjusted operating profit at constant currency, driven by productivity savings and effective cost management.
Positive Momentum in Grocery Brands
Twinings and Ovaltine delivered good sales growth, supported by marketing and product innovation, highlighting the strength of ABF's international brands.
