Pre Close Trading Update
Stock Spirits Group ("the Company"), a leading owner and
producer of premium branded spirits and liqueurs that are
principally sold in Central and Eastern Europe, today provides a
pre-close trading update for the full-year ended 31 December
2016.
Overall trading in the second half of 2016, and therefore for
the full-year ended 31 December 2016, was in line with
expectations.
The Polish vodka market continued to show growth in both volume
and value terms (source: Nielsen YTD Nov 2016). Our Polish business
has performed well in highly competitive trading conditions and
continues to make progress on the root and branch initiatives.
Group cash flow for the year was strong, resulting in net debt
at the 31st December 2016 of circa EUR60m (2015: EUR57.2m).
The Company will announce its full-year results for the year
ended 31 December 2016 on Wednesday 8 March 2017, when it will
provide a more detailed update on trading and the Company's
performance during the year across all its key markets, including a
briefing on progress against the key initiatives previously
announced in 2016.
