AB Foods backs FY 2023 view as revenue rises on better-than-expected consumer spending

Associated British Foods PLC
ABF,
-1.02%

said Tuesday that revenue for the first 16 weeks of fiscal 2023 rose on year after better-than-anticipated consumer spending despite increasing cost pressures, and backed its full-year expectations amid lower inflation volatility.

The FTSE 100 company said revenue for the 16 weeks ended Jan. 7 increased at constant currency by 16% to 6.70 billion pounds ($8.29 billion) compared with the same period a year earlier.

Revenue for the period for AB Foods’ retail arm Primark rose 15% to GBP3.14 billion.

Primark’s performance to date has been positive across all its markets and ahead of expectations, but macroeconomic pressures are expected to weigh on consumer spending in the next months, AB Foods said.

The company said Primark’s adjusted operating profit margin–which strips out exceptional and other one-off items– for the period was better than expected as a consequence of the sales performance, while margin was somewhat lower due to higher costs.

Food business rose 17% to GBP3.55 billion, driven mainly by price increases to recover significant input cost inflation.

“For the full year, our expectation for the group result overall is unchanged with a significant growth in sales, and adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings per share to be lower than the previous financial year,” it said.

AB Foods added that inflation has become less volatile and recently some commodity costs have declined.
