Finsbury Food Group Ltd ("Finsbury")

Business description

For the year ended 29 June 2024 (being the latest audited period), Finsbury generated £452.4 million of revenue from its specialty bakery business, producing and selling high-quality bread and cakes to food retailers and food service clients across the UK and Europe. Its product portfolio consists largely of either essential bakery products (e.g. organic & artisan bread, buns and rolls) or highly emotional event purchases (e.g. brand-licensed celebration cakes for parties, especially for children).

Its largest retail bakery clients include supermarkets (e.g. Tesco, Co-op, Waitrose, Sainsbury's) and its largest food service clients include restaurants and coffee shops (e.g. KFC, Costa Coffee, Bidfood, Brakes). The company has longstanding relationships with many licensed brands, manufacturing quality bread and cakes for some of the biggest names in the market (e.g. Disney, Thorntons).

Finsbury operates in Europe via its Lightbody Europe subsidiary in France and Ultrapharm business in Poland. The company was incorporated in 1925, is based in Cardiff and has 3,500 employees.

Q1 Highlights

· In the third quarter of FY25 (year ending June 2025), Finsbury reported revenue of £111m, representing a £4m or 4% decline compared to the prior year. The drop was primarily due to the Easter holiday falling in the fourth quarter this year. Profitability benefited from price recovery net of cost inflation and continued efficiencies from the Operating Brilliance Programme.

· Full-year revenue is expected to decline modestly by 1% due to portfolio optimisation and softer volume growth, adjusting for these strategic changes reveals an underlying 1% year-on-year increase. This improvement supports further margin expansion.

· Finsbury continues to evaluate targeted acquisition opportunities within the sector as part of its broader value creation strategy.
