Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Broad-based Like-for-like Revenue GrowthSustained LFL growth across multiple regions and four lead markets indicates genuine demand for the group's branded FMCG portfolio. Broad geographic and brand contributions reduce single-market dependency and support repeat-purchase revenue durability over the medium term.
Deleveraging And Stronger Liquidity PositionMaterial disposal proceeds and falling net leverage improve financial flexibility, enabling reinvestment behind brands, funding higher H2 marketing, and weathering FX shocks. Lower leverage also reduces refinancing risk and supports capital allocation over the next 2–6 months.
Gross Margin Base And Operating Margin ImprovementA healthy gross margin provides structural room to absorb input cost swings while margin improvement and targeted £5–10m cost savings show management can drive operating leverage. This supports sustainable earnings recovery if volume and mix remain favorable.
Bears Say
Weak Overall ProfitabilityDespite solid gross margins, the group reports negative net margin and negative ROE, indicating structural issues converting sales into shareholder returns. Persistent bottom-line weakness can constrain reinvestment and erode long-term value if not reversed.
Poor Cash Conversion QualityLow OCF relative to reported earnings and falling FCF growth signal weak cash conversion. The business has leaned on disposal proceeds to improve liquidity, which is not a recurring funding source and leaves vulnerability for sustained capex, marketing investment, and dividend support.
Material FX And Emerging-market ExposureA portion of recent profit uplift arose from FX revaluation timing rather than core operating performance. Significant exposure to naira and other EM currencies means earnings and margins remain volatile, complicating forecasting and undermining sustainable profit visibility.
