Associated British Foods PLC on Tuesday reported higher profits
for the fiscal year ended Sept. 18, as Primark earnings rose, and
declared a special dividend alongside the ordinary payment.
The British conglomerate, which owns the Primark fashion
retailer, made a pretax profit of 725 million pounds ($983.4
million) in fiscal 2021, up from GBP686 million a year earlier.
Adjusted operating profit rose 1% to GBP1.01 billion. Primark's
adjusted operating profit was up 15% at GBP415 million.
Revenue was broadly flat at GBP13.88 billion.
AB Foods said that it expects Primark trading to continue to
improve, with sales recovering at least the GBP2 billion lost due
to store closures in the last fiscal year, which should lead to
Primark's adjusted operating margin rising above 10%.
The company declared a final dividend of 20.5 pence a share and
a special dividend of 13.8 pence, bringing combined full-year
payments to 40.5 pence.
