"We have delivered another year of excellent financial results,
achieving our targets in a challenging environment. We opened 20
new stores many of which are performing ahead of expectations, and
the performance of our new bakeries in the Republic of Ireland is
encouraging. Our indulgent, affordable treats remain attractive to
customers, and our flexible business model has enabled us to
mitigate inflationary cost pressures. With a highly cash generative
group, strong brands and a focused management team I remain

Chief Executive's Review
Overview
I am pleased to report the results for the year ended 30
September 2017 which has been another strong year for the Group.
The management team delivered record sales and profit, against the
backdrop of a challenging economic and operating environment. We
also achieved our target of opening 20 new stores.
In the year we have tested a number of new markets, including
expansion into the Republic of Ireland, opening our first Philpotts
branded store, trialling our Patisserie Valerie product within
Sainsbury's and the development of a number of new product
lines.
In the prior year we opened our first store in Belfast in
Northern Ireland and the store was fitted with a bakery to support
expansion in this area. Following a strong performance at this
first store in Belfast, in the year we opened our second Northern
Irish store and our first and second international stores in the
Republic of Ireland. All of these stores have been well received by
our new customers and are performing ahead of expectations. These
openings give management confidence that the brand has
international appeal and expansion potential.
In 2014 we acquired the Philpotts brand which is a premium
sandwich and salad retailer. In the year under review we opened our
first store under this brand in Manchester's financial and
professional services hub at Spinningfields. Since opening, this
store has consistently ranked in the top three performers under the
Philpotts offering. The success of this store provides potential
for a roll-out of the Philpotts brand.
We continue to engage with our customers via social medial
platforms. We have run a number of online competitions in the year,
one of which resulted in the customer designed Madame Valerie
gateau. This type of engagement has boosted our Facebook followers
by over 100% to 140,000 followers (2016: 70,000 followers). Cake
Club membership continues to grow and is up 11.9% to 404,000
members (2016: 361,000 members) with pleasing growth on other
platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. All of these online
channels help increase our brand profile, and contributed to an
increase in online sales of 26% to GBP4.8m (2016: GBP3.8m).
We have serviced the Group over the last few years from our main
bakery in Birmingham and from seven satellite bakeries across the
UK. Although we have excess capacity in our bakeries, as our
geographical footprint expands, we have started to review how we
best serve our estate from a production and logistical stand point.
We are currently reviewing options for an additional production
facility in the Manchester area with capacity to serve
approximately 70 stores as well as instore baking of morning goods
from within all of our stores. Both of these initiatives will
provide additional capacity to the Group as well as releasing
savings and efficiency and improving product quality.
We finished the year encouragingly and this momentum has carried
into the first eight weeks of 2018. We have just launched our new
festive range, which includes two new limited edition slices, and
are looking forward to another successful year ahead.
Financials
Revenue for the year is GBP114.2m, an increase of GBP10.1m or
9.7% (2016: GBP104.1m). EBITDA is GBP25.6m, an increase of GBP3.4m
or 15.7% (2016: GBP22.2m) and profit before tax is GBP20.2m, an
increase of GBP3.0m or 17.1% (2016: GBP17.2m).
Basic earnings per share are 16.36 pence per share (2016: 13.74
pence per share) and diluted earnings per share are 16.20 pence per
share (2016: 13.60 pence per share), an increase of 19.1%.
Revenues from our largest brand, Patisserie Valerie, which
trades from 152 stores, are GBP84.3m, up GBP10.4m or 14.1% (2016:
GBP73.9m from 135 stores) and revenues from our other brands are
GBP29.9m, down GBP0.4m or 1.3% due to two store closures (2016
GBP30.2m).
In the first half of the year we experienced rising costs with
prices returning to normalised levels in the second half of the
year. We worked hard with our suppliers to manage costs and also
realised production efficiencies from investment in our bakeries in
the prior year which resulted in a stable gross profit margin of
78.2% (2016: 78.1%). Although the inflationary environment appears
to be easing, we remain alert to any pricing pressures.
Minimum wage increases from 1 October 2016 and National Living
wage increases from April 2017 had an impact during the year of
GBP0.3m.
Other costs have remained relatively stable in the year with
modest rent increases offset by savings made in operating
costs.
Estate Development
The Board's strategy for organic growth targets 20 new store
openings per annum. During the year we successfully achieved this
target, opening 20 stores across counter and full menu offerings.
The openings were predominantly in high-street and retail parks
locations, (11 stores) however we also developed our partnership
with Debenhams. We opened one store at St Pancras train station and
one Philpotts store. During the year, leases on five stores expired
and as these stores were no longer in prime locations they were
closed, taking the total number of trading stores to 199 at the end
of the year (2016: 184).
As discussed above, new markets in which we have opened stores
in the year include our second store in Northern Ireland, our first
and second international stores in the Republic of Ireland and our
first Philpotts branded store. All of these stores are performing
ahead of expectations and give management confidence in these
territories.
Three of the openings this year were in retail outlets: McArthur
Glenn Ashford, Rushden Lakes Northampton and The Lexicon Bracknell,
bringing the total number of stores in retail outlets to seven.
Performance at all of our stores in retail outlets remain
consistently strong.
We continue to target new towns and cities for store openings
and in the year opened in twelve new geographical locations. Many
of these stores are performing ahead of expectations and reinforces
the demand for the Patisserie Valerie brand.
Due to the highly cash generative nature of the business, the
rollout programme is funded entirely from operating cash flows. All
of our new stores were profitable from the first week of trading
and we expect all of these stores to achieve the payback target of
24 months.
Since the year end we have opened four new stores with two store
due to open in the next two weeks, exchanged contracts for two
stores and are in advanced negotiations at a further five
locations. The strong performance of our new stores, especially at
new geographical locations, continues to provide confidence in our
ability to grow our estate across the UK and Ireland.
Cash flow and financing
The group generated operating cash flow of GBP24.4m, up GBP2.4m
or 10.9% (2016: GBP22.0m). Income tax payments of GBP4.0m were made
and GBP9.4m was used for investing activities, leaving free cash
flows of GBP11.0m (2016: GBP9.9m).
In the year GBP5.1m was invested in new stores, GBP1.5m of
capital expenditure on refreshing the existing estate and GBP2.1m
on central infrastructure. We continue to measure the ROI of our
stores against a 24 month payback period and are pleased that the
substantial majority of stores perform within this target.
From free cash flows, dividend payments of GBP3.2m were made to
shareholders. We also generated GBP0.4m, of proceeds from the
exercise of employee share options. Net cash at the end of the year
was GBP21.5m (2016: GBP13.3m). The group remains solely funded from
operating cash flows and is well positioned to make strategic
acquisitions.
Dividends
In the year, we paid GBP2.0m in relation to the final dividend
for FY2016 of 2.0 pence per share and an interim dividend costing
GBP1.2m for FY2017 of 1.20 pence per share. The group is cash
generative and the Board is committed to a progressive dividend
policy for its shareholders. The Board is recommending a final
dividend for FY2017 of 2.40 pence per share which represents a 20%
increase over the final dividend paid in relation to FY2016.
Subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, to
be held on 30(th) January 2018, the final dividend will be paid on
9(th) February 2018 to shareholders on the register at 12(th)
January 2018.
