Alex Whitehouse, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We’ve delivered another quarter of strong branded revenue growth, up 4.0% and our largest brand, Mr Kipling, was one of our fastest growing brands, with sales up 9% in the quarter. This performance was driven by the continued strength of our innovation programme, including the launch of birthday cake slices, building on the success of our US trend-inspired birthday cake tarts. In Grocery, the new OXO bone broth and Angel Delight bubble jelly ranges both performed very well. We again outperformed our categories, leading to further market share increases, building on previous gains and we also gained further retailer distribution points, as we continue to land more product ranges in store.”
“Our acquired brands, The Spice Tailor, FUEL10K and Merchant Gourmet all delivered double-digit revenue growth, continuing the great momentum we’ve built since acquiring them and they remain on track to generate approximately £100m revenue this year. Overseas, we launched FUEL10K into Europe and continued the rollout of Mr Kipling in North America. Following this good start to the year, and with further progress expected across all our strategic priorities in FY26/27, we remain on track to deliver Trading profit expectations for this year.”
