Equity Bottom-Up

Britvic’s recovery continued in H2, with continued growth in at-home channels while out-of-home rebounded. GB and Brazil both posted revenue growth, while Other International was affected by weaker performance in France, caused – among other things – by poor summer weather. Organic revenue growth was 6.6%, while adjusted EBIT was up 10% on the same basis. Adjusted EPS was up 2.5% to 44.3p, as it was adversely affected by a one-off deferred tax charge. The dividend per share is 24.2p, up 12%. Current trading is encouraging, with volumes in the first six weeks of the year ahead of both FY21 and FY20. Management remains confident in making further progress with revenue, profit and margin growth in 2022 despite inflationary cost pressures.

Britvic - Actively addressing sustainability challenges

As expected, Britvic witnessed strong growth during H1 in at-home channels and gained share in GB and Brazil, though restrictions continued to affect performance in the hospitality and on-the-go consumption segments. H1 revenue declined 6.3% on a like-for-like and constant currency basis, while adjusted EBIT was down 15.4% on this basis, and adjusted EPS was down 20%. The interim dividend has been reinstated at 6.5p per share. Management continued to focus on cash and cost efficiency to mitigate the impact of the pandemic as much as possible. Trading has been encouraging in the first weeks of H2 as lockdown measures have been eased in the UK. Planned investment will increase in H2 to capitalize on market opportunities and drive long-term growth. The mix is expected to improve as on-the-go consumption recovers and at-home growth moderates.
