Trading Update for year ended 30 September 2015


Treatt Plc (the 'Group'), the manufacturer and supplier of innovative ingredient solutions for the flavour, fragrance and FMCG industries today publishes a trading update for the year ended 30 September 2015.



The Board is pleased to confirm that the Group has performed well in the second half of the financial year and expects to report revenue and profit before tax for the year ended 30 September 2015 in line with its expectations.



Following a quieter start, momentum grew as the financial year progressed, ending with a stronger fourth quarter. Revenues in the year have been positively impacted by historically high market prices for certain key ingredients, particularly lemon and lime oil, although this has not resulted in higher gross margins.



The cash performance of the Group has been encouraging, with net debt ending the year at its lowest level since 2006. The Board is also pleased to report that the FX strategy in place has prevented movements in FX rates during the year having a material impact on results for the year.



The Group's strategy to innovate and develop relevant and unique ingredient solutions, especially for the beverage market, is gaining further momentum and looking to the financial year ahead, encourages our belief that the Group is on track to build a successful, strong business for the longer term.



Work continues toward facilitating the relocation of the Group's UK site as previously reported, and we anticipate providing an update on progress when we report our full year results for the year ended 30 September 2015 on 8 December 2015.

Trading Update for year ending 30 September 2016 and Conclusion of Earthoil Earn-out Dispute
 
Trading Update
Treatt Plc (the 'Group'), the manufacturer and supplier of innovative ingredient solutions for the flavour, fragrance and FMCG industries today publishes a trading update for the year ending 30 September 2016.
 
The Board is pleased to confirm that the Group has performed well in the second half of the financial year.  As we approach our financial year end, momentum in the business has continued and consequently the Board now expects to report profit before tax and exceptional items for the year ending 30 September 2016 comfortably above its previous expectations.  
 
The performance across the Group has been consistently strong throughout 2016.  The Group's focus on key beverage sectors including innovative citrus and sugar reduction solutions, as well as key markets such as China and North America, is showing encouraging signs of success. The cash performance of the Group has also been encouraging with net debt expected to end the year at its lowest level since 2005.  
 
The Group's strategy to manage foreign exchange risk has prevented currency fluctuations during the year from having a more material impact on the net results. Whilst the underlying impact of the strengthening US dollar is expected to reduce profits by approximately £0.5m in the current financial year, it is expected that these hedging policies will substantially reverse this figure in the first quarter of the next financial year.
 
Plans for the relocation of the Group's UK site are progressing well.  Discussions with landowners are now at an advanced stage and we anticipate providing a further update on progress when we report our full year results in November 2016.
 
Looking to the year ahead, with the continuing momentum being delivered by our Strategic Plan and the beneficial impact should the US Dollar to Sterling remain at its current rates, the Board believes that the business will continue to perform well and management look to the future with confidence.
 
Treatt Plc's results for the year ending 30 September 2016 will be announced on 29 November 2016.


 
Conclusion of Earthoil Earn-out Dispute
Further to the Group's announcement on 19 July 2016 regarding the dispute with the Sellers of the Earthoil Group regarding the Earn-out, the Group announces that it has reached final settlement with the Sellers which concludes all claims and litigation in respect of the dispute.
 
Payment of £0.9m1 will be made to the Sellers in full and final settlement of the remaining claim, which includes the substantive issues (being the alleged breaches of contract), associated legal costs incurred by the Sellers and interest, and brings the matter to a close.

Nice to see the end (finally) of the Earthoil dispute. Market seems to like the TU, for good reason. A very happy long term holder - just wish they would move to AIM to get IHT relief once held for two years.

Press tips seem to have given a boost and hitting all time highs this week. May pause for breath when funding for new factory is finalised and the project undertaken, but long term story remains intact and imo plenty of room to grow. Always dyor.

Very solid results imo and weak sterling should help in 2017, with new year having "Started well". With net debt now almost eliminated, might be possible to consider funding for new factory without issuing new equity, but institutional interest should be strong if they do go down that route. Either way, prospects look sound - risk element in managing the new build/move, but the experienced management should hopefully be up to the job. Mine locked away in ISA. Always dyor.

Trading Update for year ending 30 September 2017
 
Treatt Plc (the 'Group'), the manufacturer and supplier of innovative ingredient solutions for the flavour, fragrance, beverage and consumer product industries today publishes a trading update for its financial year ending 30 September 2017.
 
Following the AGM trading update published on 27 January 2017, the Board is pleased to confirm that momentum has gathered pace, with the results for the six months ending 31 March 2017 ('Half Year') now expected to show substantial progress compared with the prior year.  This has resulted from a combination of strong growth to revenues (currently estimated to be up in excess of 20% over the comparable period last year) driven by both new business wins and growth with existing customers, combined with improved product margins as we continue to add value by moving up the value chain.
 
All of our key product categories have delivered strong revenue growth since the start of the financial year, with citrus and sugar reduction solutions producing particularly strong performances.  Earthoil, the Group's personal care ingredients division, also continues to perform well as recent investments begin to deliver returns.  As we enter the seasonally busiest time of the financial year, it is encouraging to see order books for the remainder of the current financial year, and into next year, across the Group materially up on a year ago.
 
The Group's strategy to manage foreign exchange risk is designed to prevent currency from having a material impact on the net results. During the period, the GB Pound/US Dollar exchange rate has been relatively stable and, therefore, the expected reversal of last year's FX loss of £0.5m should positively impact on the results for the Half Year. This includes the retranslation benefits from the Group's US subsidiary Treatt USA.
 
The strength of the Group's order book and the impact of higher raw material prices, has resulted in an expected increase to net debt which is expected to be approximately £10m-£12m at the Half Year compared with £8.4m at the same time last year.  Nonetheless, with confidence for the usual pattern of strong cash inflow in the second half of the year, it is expected that overall net debt will fall significantly by our financial year end.
 
Plans for the relocation of the Group's UK site continue to progress well. As previously announced, contracts were exchanged in December 2016 (subject to outline planning consent) on a 10 acre plot of land on the new Suffolk Business Park in Bury St. Edmunds.
 
Outlook
With the continuing momentum being delivered by our 2020 Strategic Plan, strong revenue growth, and the beneficial impact from higher product margins, the Board now believes that profit before tax for the financial year ending 30 September 2017 will substantially exceed its previous expectations.
 

Unusually bullish update yesterday - TET normally yends to under promise and over deliver. Expansion in beverages paying off and enciuraging to see "reduced sugar solutions" particularly strong, alongside the more traditional citrus business. With order books into the next financial year looking healthy, little wonder the price leapt yesterday - will they now raise some equity to help with the new factory build? A classic long term ISA share imo, but always dyor.

And a follow up statement today, things even better and expectations for this year revised upwards again.

Trading Update for the half year ending 31 March 2017
 
Treatt Plc ('Treatt' or the 'Group'), the manufacturer and supplier of innovative ingredient solutions for the flavour, fragrance, beverage and consumer product industries today publishes a trading update for the half year ending 31 March 2017.
 
In the latest trading update announced on 23 February 2017 the Board reported that momentum in the business had gathered pace and consequently the results for the six months to 31 March 2017 ('Half Year') were expected to show substantial progress when compared to the prior year. The Board also reported that it believed that profit before tax for the full year ending 30 September 2017 would substantially exceed its previous expectations.
 
Since that announcement, trading has continued to be strong and whilst the Group has benefitted from the effect of a stronger US Dollar, underlying revenue growth continues to gain momentum, with Half Year revenue expected to show an increase in excess of 25% over the prior year period, of which approximately 10% can be attributed to the effects of currency movements.
 
New business wins and a strong performance across all our categories, particularly in Sugar Reduction, Tea and Citrus, which are areas of strategic focus, together with the impact of current foreign exchange rates have combined in an order book which has increased materially compared with the same time last year.
 
As announced on 23 February 2017 the impact of higher raw material prices, increased order book and the strengthening of the US Dollar has resulted in net debt at the Half Year increasing to approximately £12m, being some £3.6m higher than the same time last year. Historically, the Group reports a net trading cash outflow in the first six months of the year and a net trading cash inflow in the second half of the year, and the Board would expect a similar pattern in the current financial year.
 
Outlook
Following a strong performance across the Group in March 2017 and clear signs that the momentum described above, which is being delivered by our 2020 Strategic Plan, is continuing into the second half of the current financial year, the Board now expect to exceed its revised expectations for the full financial year ending 30 September 2017. 
 
The Board expects to announce Treatt's Half Year results on 9 May 2017.

Tuesday 9 March interims

Splendid set of interims already flagged up. This is still quite a small company and whilst recent performance reflected in share price rise, there could be some way to go yet over the next 5/10 years. Been a great performer in my ISA and staying there, but always dyor.

A favourite of John lee who writes in weekend FT

Nice 7.5% rise.

Another one doing well for you DC!

Yes well done - another share I hate :-)
