Impressive Revenue Gains
•
Group revenue up 96% growth YoY driven by EXL’s expanded
House of Brands following TSN and Ananda Food acquisitions, and
strong at HFA
Margin Dynamics- Sales Mix Effect
•
The average H1 margin fell from 45% to 35%, largely due to a shift
in the sales mix and weaker performance from high-margin US
sales
•
Supply chain pressures also impacted margins but should ease
in H2 as rebates and raw material substitutes come into play
•
Completion of US transition to an e-commerce business model
will boost high-margin US sales in H2
Operating Expenses
•
Down 9% YoY, reduced significantly to 60% of H1 FY24 revenue
from 128% a year ago, showcasing a 53% improvement
