The earnings call highlighted strong performance in priority markets like the UK and Indonesia, strategic cost savings, and brand-building successes. However, these positives were offset by revenue declines, particularly impacted by currency issues and challenges in the St. Tropez brand, leading to balanced highlights and lowlights.
Company Guidance
In the recent call, PZ Cussons provided comprehensive guidance for the fiscal year 2026. The company expects group adjusted operating profit to range between GBP 48 million and GBP 53 million, excluding contributions from the Wilmar joint venture, which is now classified as an asset held for sale. Revenue is anticipated to grow, with group like-for-like revenue projected to increase around 10% by the end of September. Notably, strong performance is expected in Asia Pacific, driven by Indonesia's sixth consecutive quarter of growth, and ANZ also posting positive results. Europe and Americas could see a 2% revenue decline, with St. Tropez excluded, but the region is expected to strengthen in the coming months. Cost savings of GBP 5 million to GBP 10 million are planned, with some reinvestment into the business. Furthermore, net debt is forecasted to decrease significantly to less than 1x EBITDA, aided by proceeds from asset disposals, including the expected GBP 47 million from the Wilmar sale.
Strong Performance in Priority Markets
The UK delivered a strong improvement in profitability with revenue growth and gross margin expansion. Indonesia ended the year with its fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth with high single-digit revenue and volume growth. Market share gains were noted in Australia for top 3 brands.
Cost Savings and Strategic Portfolio Simplification
Announced the sale of a 50% stake in PZ Wilmar for $70 million, expected to simplify the portfolio and strengthen the balance sheet. GBP 5-10 million in cost savings expected in FY '26.
Brand Building Success
Successful brand-building activities with campaigns like Nature Hits Different for Original Source, reaching over 15 million people, and Cussons Baby achieving 10% household penetration in urban Indonesia.
Progress in Nigeria
Nigerian business showed resilience in a high inflation environment with strategic improvements and a new campaign for Carex reaching 125 million people.
