Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed outlook for Bunzl. While there were positive aspects such as revenue growth driven by acquisitions, effective cash conversion, and progress in acquisitions, significant challenges were highlighted including a decline in operating profit, issues in the North America Distribution business, and margin declines in Continental Europe. The company's commitment to long-term growth and strategic initiatives provides some optimism, but immediate challenges in key business areas temper the overall sentiment.
Company Guidance
In the 2025 Half Year Results Presentation, Bunzl reported a 4.2% revenue growth at constant exchange rates, driven largely by acquisitions, while underlying revenue remained stable. Adjusted operating profit declined by 7.6%, with the operating margin reducing by 100 basis points to 7%. Cash conversion exceeded expectations at 97%, but free cash flow fell by 22%. The adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 1.9x, slightly better than guidance. An interim dividend increase of 0.5% was announced. Bunzl completed five acquisitions with a committed spend of approximately GBP 120 million, alongside a resumed GBP 200 million share buyback program, with GBP 86 million to be completed by year-end.
