Gusbourne PLC - Ashford, Kent-based sparkling wine maker - Total net revenue for 2023 is estimated about £7.1 million, up about 13% from £6.2 million in 2022. This is driven by UK wine sales of £5.0 million, up about 17% from £4.2 million. Gusbourne says international sales rise by about 7% to £1.5 million, accounting for 23% of total net wine sales, up from 22% in 2022. Gusbourne also makes revenue from winery tours. Adjusted loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation is expected to have narrowed from £1.1 million in 2022, as gross margin increases to about 68% from 59%, thanks to ‘improved price and sales mix dynamics’. Net debt on December 31 is about £17.8 million, with refinancing of debt completed last year.

‘These results have been achieved against a difficult macroeconomic environment, which ultimately resulted in more challenging trading conditions for the luxury goods sector in the second half of the year,’ comments Chief Executive Officer Jonathan White.
