CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
The business traded in line with our plans during the first half of the year. Total sales for the 26 weeks to 1 July 2017 grew by 7.3 per cent to GBP453 million, with like-for-like sales in company-managed shops up by 3.4 per cent. As expected the business experienced pressure from cost inflation, but despite this operating profit before property gains and exceptional items grew by 1.8 per cent to GBP27.6 million (2016: GBP27.2 million).
Operational review
Our freshly prepared food offer at great prices continues to set us apart from the competition and prove popular with consumers. In the first half of 2017 we developed further our product offering and delivered growth across multiple categories:
- we extended our Balanced Choice range, launching new salads and drinks; - the popularity of our hot sandwiches continued to increase; - demand for coffee and breakfast remained strong; and - we continued to see good growth in traditional products, such as fresh-baked savouries.
Recognition of our progress in the food-on-the-go market saw Greggs win several awards including 'Food to Go Retailer of the Year' at both the 2017 British Sandwich Industry Awards and the Grocer Gold Awards.
We continue to see exciting potential for growth in our shop estate and opened 61 new shops in the first half of 2017 (including 24 franchised units) and closed 19 shops, giving a total of 1,806 shops (of which 181 are franchise units) trading at 1 July 2017. We opened our first 'Drive-Thru' shop at Irlam, Greater Manchester, in June and have been encouraged by its popularity, indicating a demand for further Drive-Thru locations. We also continued to expand the estate in the south-west of England and in Northern Ireland whilst adapting our formats to suit locations such as garage forecourts. Our pipeline of new shop opportunities remains strong and we continue to expect around 100 net openings in the year as a whole.
We have made great progress in the transformation of our shop estate with most shops trading in a food-on-the-go format. We updated 107 shops in the first half of 2017 as part of our shop refurbishment programme. In line with our normal shop refurbishment cycle, over the next couple of years we are entering a period where a lower number of refurbishments will fall due. In order to maintain a steadier number per year we now plan to refurbish 130 shops in 2017 and a similar number in the following two years, before returning to the more recent run rate of 200+ shops from 2020.
We have successfully deployed our new central forecasting and replenishment system to all of our shops ahead of plan. This has been the most significant process change that the business has ever embarked upon and I am delighted with the way that our project team and retail colleagues have prepared for and managed the new ways of working. Already we are seeing benefits in terms of product availability and the administrative tasks required of our shop colleagues have been simplified. Inevitably there has been some increase in costs in the transition but there is a clear net benefit already and we will build on this as we learn to harness the benefits of this new technology.
We made further progress with the plans to invest in the transformation and development of our supply chain in the first half. Our Edinburgh bakery was closed in May, with production and logistics activities transferring to our Glasgow site where we have invested to absorb the additional work. This investment has included the first of our new consolidated manufacturing platforms, in this case for the production of Yum-Yums. The commissioning has gone well and we are already delivering improved product quality, consistency and efficiency. We are now placing orders for the next phase of investment, the first of which will be the consolidation of cake and muffin production at our Leeds site. Once again I must give credit to the teams working in our supply chain operations to implement these strategic changes whilst maintaining service levels to our shops and customers.
Financial performance
As expected, input cost inflation had a modest impact on margins in the first half of the year. Despite this, operating profit excluding property gains and exceptional charges grew by 1.8 per cent to GBP27.6m (2016: GBP27.2m), giving an underlying margin of 6.1 per cent (2016: 6.4 per cent). Operational costs were well controlled and we continued to deliver benefits from our programme of business efficiency, which has helped to mitigate some of the impact of cost inflation.
Non-exceptional freehold property disposals realised profits of GBP0.3 million in the period (2016: GBP2.2 million) and we incurred a net exceptional charge of GBP8.3 million (2016: GBP4.0 million) as described below. Pre-tax profit including all property profits and exceptional charges was GBP19.4 million (2016: GBP25.4 million). Excluding the exceptional items, but including the lower property gains in 2017, diluted earnings per share were 21.4 pence (2016: 22.3 pence), with reported diluted earnings per share (including exceptional items) of 14.9 pence (2016: 19.3 pence).
Exceptional items
At the start of this year we communicated proposals for the next phase of our GBP100 million investment programme to reshape our manufacturing and distribution operations for future growth. We expect to recognise one-off costs in the range GBP9-10 million in 2017 as a result of the changes required to consolidate our manufacturing operations across the country. GBP8.7 million of exceptional costs have been recognised in the first half of the year and this, combined with a GBP0.4 million exceptional credit related to the gain on disposal of related properties, resulted in a net exceptional charge of GBP8.3 million in the period. The overall cost and exceptional charges expected to arise from the plan remain in line with previous guidance.
Dividend
In setting the interim ordinary dividend the Board applies a formula so that the interim payment is the equivalent of approximately one third of the total ordinary dividend for the previous year. On this basis the Board has declared an interim dividend of 10.3 pence per share (2016: 9.5 pence). The overall ordinary dividend for the year will be declared in line with our progressive dividend policy, which targets a full year ordinary dividend that is two times covered by underlying earnings. The interim dividend will be paid on 6 October 2017 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on 8 September 2017.
Financial position
Capital expenditure during the first half was GBP36.4 million (2016: GBP31.2 million) as we progressed the investment in our supply chain alongside new shop growth and estate refurbishment. In the second half of the year the rate of shop refurbishment will reduce and we will continue to invest in new shop openings and the transformation of our manufacturing and logistics capacity. As a result we now expect total capital expenditure in 2017 to be approximately GBP80 million (2016: GBP80.4 million).
The Group continues to generate strong cash flows and remains in a robust financial position. Net cash inflow from operating activities in the period was GBP34.0 million (2016: GBP44.7 million) and we ended the period with a cash balance of GBP19.9 million (2 July 2016: GBP35.0 million).
Outlook
We have made a good start to the second half of the year and are confident that the strategic investments we are making will enable the business to continue delivering further profitable growth. In the short term we remain alert to pressures building on consumers' disposable income and the continuing economic uncertainty. Over the year as a whole we expect to deliver results in line with our previous expectations as well as further progress against our strategic plan.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The condensed accounts have been prepared for the 26 weeks ended 1 July 2017. Comparative figures are presented for the 26 weeks ended 2 July 2016. These condensed accounts have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. They do not include all the information required for full annual accounts, and should be read in conjunction with the Group accounts for the 52 weeks ended 31 December 2016.
These condensed accounts are unaudited and were approved by the Board of Directors on 1 August 2017.
The comparative figures for the 52 weeks ended 31 December 2016 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report; and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Group continues to have strong operational cashflows and the Directors are of the view that the Group has sufficient funds available to meet its foreseeable working capital requirements. The Directors have concluded therefore that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed accounts are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated accounts for the 52 weeks ended 31 December 2016.
2. Changes in accounting policies
Accounting policies
There are no accounting standards, amendments or interpretations that have been adopted by the Group since 1 January 2017.
3. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Directors consider that the principal risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Group's performance in the remaining 26 weeks of the financial year remain substantially the same as those stated on page 40 of our Annual Report and Accounts for the 52 weeks ended 31 December 2016, which is available on our website corporate.greggs.co.uk.
4. Operating segment
The Board has considered the requirements of IFRS 8: Operating Segments, and concluded that as there is still only one reportable segment whose revenue, profits, assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a consistent basis with the Group accounts, no additional numerical disclosures are necessary.

Supply chain restructuring
This charge arises from the decisions, announced in March 2016 and 2017, to invest in and reshape the Company's supply chain in order to support future growth. In 2017 the costs relate to the sale of one bakery site, including the gain on disposal, redundancy costs relating to the consolidation of production processes, accelerated depreciation and other contractual obligations that arise as a result of this consolidation. In 2016 the costs related to the closure of three bakery sites and included redundancy and other employment-related costs, asset write offs, impairment and transfer, and other contractual obligations that arose as a result of the closure of the sites.
Restructuring of support functions
This charge related to redundancy costs arising from the restructuring of bakery administration and payroll functions.
Prior year items
These related to the movement on costs treated as exceptional in prior years and arose from the settlement of various property and redundancy transactions.
6. Defined benefit pension scheme
The valuation of the defined benefit pension scheme for the purposes of IAS 19 (Revised) as at 31 December 2016 has been updated as at 1 July 2017 and the movements have been reflected in these condensed accounts.
7. Taxation
