Supreme PLC - Manchester, England-based manufacturer and distributor of fast-moving consumer products - Pretax profit rises 4.9% to £12.9 million in first half of financial year 2025 from £12.3 million a year before, as revenue grows by 7.5% to £113.0 million from £105.1 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation is £18.5 million in the half-year, the six months that ended September 30, up 22% from £15.2 million a year before. Supreme lifts its interim dividend by 20% in response to 1.8 pence per share from 1.5p. Supreme credits the higher revenue to growth in its core business, supplemented by its acquisition of Clearly Drinks Ltd, which it bought for £15.6 million back in June.
Supreme says the second half of financial 2025 has started strongly, and it expects full-year results to be ahead of expectations. It guides adjusted Ebitda of at least £40 million on revenue of around £240 million. This would be up from £38.1 million and £221.2 million, respectively, in financial 2024.
