The Convenience Foods division recorded revenue of GBP353.8m, an
increase of 57.2% on the prior year. The legacy Greencore
businesses recorded revenue growth of 13.0%, with strong volume led
growth across our key category businesses. The continuing Uniq
activities also exhibited strong growth with revenues up 8.2% year
on year. As anticipated, there was a decline in revenues in the
parts of the Uniq business which we are exiting of 18.1% as some
activities have now ceased with the balance anticipated to be
exited by June 2012.
The integration of the Uniq business continues to progress in
line with our plans. The Northampton sandwiches business is
operating as a separate category business within the UK convenience
business. The Spalding salads business has been fully integrated in
to the Greencore Food to Go category business where we have a
common customer set. The chilled desserts activity is being
operated as a single category business whilst we undertake the
downsizing of Minsterley and product transfers to Evercreech.
Synergy delivery is in line with our expectations.
The Ingredients and Property division is performing in line with
expectations with revenue ahead by 3.2%.
Financial Position
Consideration for the Uniq acquisition was settled as
anticipated in early October using the proceeds of the rights issue
and the new bilateral loan facility arranged in September 2011. The
balance sheet remains strong with sufficient headroom in our
committed facilities to meet the needs of the business and an
average maturity of around 4 years.
Listing transfer
As previously announced, the Group cancelled its listing on the
Irish Stock Exchange with effect from the close of business on 20
January 2012 and now has a sole listing quoted in Sterling on the
London Stock Exchange. Greencore anticipates it should become
eligible for the FTSE UK Index Series from the start of trading on
19 March 2012.
Outlook
The Group has made a strong start to the financial year across
its portfolio of businesses. We are particularly pleased with the
performance of the Uniq businesses during a period of change and
with the progress made to date on the integration.
We expect the general economic and trading environment to remain
challenging for the foreseeable future, however we remain confident
in our ability to deliver good results for the year in line with
our expectations.
