Associated British Foods PLC said Thursday that its fiscal 2022
adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings per share are
expected to surpass the previous year's on strong sales growth, and
that it anticipates rising sales, but declining profit, in fiscal
2023.
The U.K. conglomerate said fiscal 2022 group revenue is expected
to be well above the 13.88 billion pounds ($16.01 billion) in the
prior year.
ABF's Primark business's total sales for the year ending Sept.
17 are expected to be around 40% above the previous year's, at
about GBP7.7 billion with a full-year operating margin of 9.6%,
reflecting the end of coronavirus-related restrictions and
normalization of consumer behavior, the company said.
The company reported higher food-business revenue, reflecting
price actions and some volume increases, particularly in
ingredients.
For fiscal 2023, ABF expects significant growth in sales, though
it foresees declines in adjusted operating profit and adjusted
earnings per share. Food-business profit is expected to rise,
though declining consumer disposable income and a commercial
decision to limit further pricing actions will hit the operating
profit margin for Primark, the company said.
The board will consider in November whether it has surplus cash
and capital to return to shareholders, it said.
