Nichols plc Pre-Close Trading Statement
Nichols plc ("the Group"), today issues the following pre-close trading update.
Trading The Group has maintained the excellent momentum reported at the half year, with sales for the year to the 31 December 2011 increasing by 18% compared to 2010. This performance is ahead of our internal expectations, has been achieved against strong prior year comparatives (16% uplift on 2009) and despite the continued downturn affecting the UK economy.
Once again our brands have outperformed the soft drinks market in the UK and our strong and well established international business continues to deliver significant year on year growth.
In our UK business, gross margins remain under pressure due to a combination of raw material cost inflation and the exceptionally high level of promotional activity in 2011. It is therefore pleasing to report that our Operating Profit margin will be maintained as a result of ongoing productivity improvements and tight control of costs.
The Group's balance sheet remains strong, with underlying cash generation also ahead of internal expectations.
In summary, we expect Group profit to be significantly ahead of last year and ahead of current market expectations for the year ended 31 December 2011.
New Brand Launch In January 2012, we are launching a new and innovative range of Weight Watchers branded, low calorie soft drinks into the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Our category expertise, combined with the well established, global, Weight Watchers brand provides further growth opportunities for the Group in 2012 and beyond, as well as meeting the increasingly important health and wellbeing needs of consumers.
John Nichols Non-Executive Chairman

Traders linked the interest to news on Wednesday that Coca-Cola would invest $5bn in the Middle East and North Africa over the next 10 years and had agreed to buy around half of the shares in Aujan Industries, one of the largest beverage companies in the Middle East. Aujun owns rights to produce and sell Vimto. Shore Capital took the view that the deal provided a significant opportunity to grow Vimto in the long run. Even if it did not look to acquire the Vimto brand, we expect the deal to provide further distribution opportunities. . .as a result of Coca-Colas investment, it said. |
