Market expectations are �200k net profit.
Distil�s full-year outturn is forecast to be in line with market
expectations, following strong trading across its peak Q3 (Oct � Dec)
period in what remains a highly competitive market. Despite playing
up against the toughest quarterly comparative of last year, when
revenue rose 71%, this Q3 delivered revenue (and volume) growth of
19%. Growth was strong across all trade channels, most notably
online, albeit from a much smaller base than the On Trade and Off
Trade channels. The resultant two-year quarterly growth rate is
therefore the best achieved thus far this year, with Q3 revenue in the
current year more than double that achieved in Oct � Dec 2015. Our
full-year forecasts therefore remain unchanged.
