Trading update12 Jan 2025 12:16
So to shift this convo to something that is happening what are folks expecting in the trading update what are folks expecting.
1. Beauty revenue will be interesting as MM did say it should be a great quarter - also looking at margins in the last three 6 month periods margin has gone from 1.9 percent H1 2023 to 5.3 percent in H2 2023 and then 6.1 percent in H1 2024 thanks to pushing own brand sales - do we think this has got any legs still and with revenue growth should be a great result.
2. Myprotein - we know costs have been hurting from
Protein costs , and the Yen still not full recovered although looks good - MM did say September was a turnaround month - has it continued into Q4? I would be happy if revenue is up and growing again, even if margins are still struggling due to the macro!
3. Ingenuity - will we get an update ? If so expecting this to have a decent boost in percentage growth versus beauty and nutrition in revenue and margin . Thoughts ?
Overall I want to be excited for this update , so much negative around MM and everything that’s happened , really want this to be a good update!
Imagine if protein prices weren’t causing us pain we would be seeing some amazing results on EBITDA
