Trading Update

Finsbury Food Group Plc (AIM: FIF), a leading UK speciality bakery manufacturer of cake, bread and morning goods for both the retail and foodservice channels, is pleased to announce that trading for the first four months of the new financial year is in line with expectations.

Total Group sales revenues grew by 4% to GBP105.5 million during the first four months of the 2017/2018 financial year. This is a pleasing performance which shows resilience and recognises that the UK retail food market has recently transitioned from a deflationary to an inflationary environment.

Additionally, Finsbury continues to benefit from the geographically diverse nature of its operations. The UK Bakery division's sales increased by 5% in comparison to the corresponding 2016/2017 period, while the Overseas division, the Group's 50% owned European business, declined by 3.8% when compared to the corresponding 2016/2017 period.

The multi-channel Group has a strong track record of successfully navigating the previously reported head-winds which continue to face the entire industry. This resilience has been achieved by investing in initiatives which drive efficiency and productivity and therefore offset increases in the Group's cost base to ensure that Finsbury is well positioned to maintain value for consumers and to remain a competitive, low cost producer for customers.

Having delivered strong cashflow during the period, the Group is ideally positioned to maintain this focus, and the Board is therefore confident that Finsbury is well-equipped to deliver growth and shareholder value going forward.
