Trading Update

Supreme PLC (AIM: SUP), a leading brand owner, manufacturer and supplier of fast-moving consumer goods, is pleased to provide a trading update for the twelve months ended 31 March 2025 ("FY25" or the "Period"). Final audited results for the Period will be announced on Tuesday, 1 July 2025.

Supreme traded strongly across FY25, delivering a record financial performance which was supported by the positive impact of strategic acquisitions and continued management of the Company's cost base.

Supreme expects to report FY25 revenue of around £235.0 million (FY24: £221.2 million) and Adjusted EBITDA¹ of at least £40.0 million (FY24: £38.1 million), in-line with current market expectations². In addition, the Company expects to trade in-line with market expectations for FY26³.

After investing £25.0 million on strategic acquisitions during the Period, the business remained net-cash positive at year end.

Following the complementary acquisitions of Clearly Drinks and Typhoo Tea during the Period, representing the Group's entry into the soft drinks and hot beverages vertical, sales traction remains strong with management exploring a number of new commercial opportunities with both potential and existing customers, alongside an increased focus on new product development.

Vape sales remain in line with internal estimates ahead of the imminent UK disposable vape ban scheduled for 1 June 2025. The Company's established UK vaping profile and its longstanding, trusted partner status across a diverse UK retail footprint, combined with proactive investment in rechargeable pod system vaping devices, ensures Supreme remains well positioned within the UK market.

The Board remains confident of the Group's future prospects.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA means operating profit before depreciation, amortisation, share-based payments charge, fair value movements on non-hedge accounted derivatives and exceptional items

² Analysts' consensus for the year ending 31 March 2025 was revenue of approximately £240 million and Adjusted EBITDA of £40 million.
