Compass Group profits surge as working from home wanes

The world's biggest caterer has proposed a final dividend of 39.1 cents per share

Compass saw its underlying operating profits jump by 16.4% to $3bn last year

Compass Group is rewarding shareholders with a major dividend boost after revealing bumper profit growth for the last year.

Compass' underlying operating profits jumped by 16.4 per cent at constant currency levels to $3billion in the year ending September, with the firm citing a sustained recovery in workers returning to offices as a key market trend,

The world's biggest catering business has proposed a final dividend of 39.1 cents per share, giving it a full-year dividend of 59.1 cents per share, a 13.7 per cent increase on the previous year.

Compass achieved growth across all regions, especially its largest territory by sales, North America, where underlying revenues rose by 10.9 per cent to $28.6billion.

The London-based firm also told shareholders on Tuesday that it had benefited from higher attendance and consumer spending within its education and sports-focused operations.

European sales expanded significantly, surging by 15 per cent to nearly $10billion on an underlying basis thanks to double-digit percentage growth from industries such as education, and defence, offshore and remote.

Bumper result: Catering giant Compass Group saw its underlying operating profits jump by 16.4 per cent at constant currency levels to $3billion in the year ending September

Compass has this year bolstered its presence across the continent with two big acquisitions: Hoffmann in Germany, and Reading-based CH&CO, whose clients include Kew Gardens and the Royal Opera House.

It pulled out of five countries 0 Argentina, Angola, Brazil, China and the United Arab Emirates - and agreed to leave another four, mostly in Latin America.





Dominic Blakemore, chief executive of Compass, said: '2024 has been a year of strong operational and financial performance, with net new business growth accelerating in the second half as expected.

'The business continues to successfully capitalise on the dynamic market trends, using its proven competitive advantages to drive higher revenue and profit growth.'

However, Compass expects underlying operating profits to increase by only a 'high single-digit' percentage figure in 2025, driven by 'ongoing margin progression' and organic revenue rising by over 7.5 per cent.

Compass Group shares declined by 2.5 per cent to £25.88 on Tuesday morning, making them one of the FTSE 100 Index's top five fallers.

Adam Vettese, a market analyst at eToro, said the company's outlook was 'perhaps simply getting ahead of the narrative due to the high bar set'.

'The shares have dipped this morning but still sit at almost 20 per cent up for the year and might well represent a buying opportunity if they are to continue their longer-term trajectory.'

Compass operates many corporate workplace canteens and provides hospitality services to prominent sporting venues like Wimbledon and Chelsea Football Club.

It experienced a significant downturn in trade during the early part of the Covid-19 pandemic when employers encouraged their staff to work from home if possible, and sports teams often played matches behind closed doors.

Vettese added: 'Hybrid or remote workers being asked to come back to the office is clearly a hot topic at the moment with many not wanting to relinquish their flexibility.

'Compass Group, however, is a beneficiary of this movement - as the world's largest caterer, they operate many workplace canteens and welcome the volume back through the doors.'

Compass lifts dividend as profits and revenues grow strongly

The company highlighted "excellent" net new business of 7.5%, while client retention rates improved to a record 96.4%, up 100 basis points on 2021


Catering company Compass Group PLC (LSE:CPG) rewarded shareholders with a 125% increase in its full-year dividend and launched a further £250mln share buy-back as it reported strong growth in profits and revenues.

In the year to 30 September 2022, underlying operating profit grew 87.5% to £1.59bn, on revenue of £25.8bn, up 37.5% on the previous year.

The company highlighted "excellent" net new business of 7.5%, while client retention rates improved to a record 96.4%, up 100 basis points (bps) on 2021.

Underlying operating margins improved by 170bps in the year to 6.2% and are expected to rise in full-year 2023 to 6.5%.

For 2023, Compass forecast constant-currency underlying operating profit growth of over 20%, delivered through organic revenue growth of around 15%, weighted towards the first half of the year.

The group, which has completed an initial £500mln share buyback, also announced a further £250mln buyback, to be completed in the first half of 2023.

Chief executive Dominic Blakemore said: "The group's performance surpassed our expectations both in terms of net new business growth and base volume recovery, with Business & Industry now operating above its pre-pandemic revenues.”

"Looking further ahead, we remain excited about the significant structural growth opportunities globally, leading to the potential for revenue and profit growth above historical rates, returning margin to pre-pandemic levels and rewarding shareholders with further returns."
