I see GNK has sent a letter to all its pubs stating a pint will increase by 10p in 2 weeks.

2009, a year of glorious opportunity for those that can see further than their nose?

Unlike you to be around on an 'up' day, hot! Nicely edited version of the IMS, though. Anyone interested is probably safer reading the unabridged version on the RNS.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT





Greene King announces its Interim Management Statement for the 38 weeks to 25 January 2009.



As highlighted at our Interim Results in December, Christmas trading generally improved, particularly in our Retail division.



After 38 weeks, Greene King Retail LFL sales are -1.1% and over the last 8 weeks, LFL sales have been +2.4%, as we continue to maintain a fine balance between delivering better value to our customers and withstanding the continued cost pressures that the business is having to absorb. Key drivers of our improved LFL sales performance include strong Christmas bookings, further improvement in Hungry Horse and targeted investment in sports-led satellite TV, particularly within Local Pubs.



Underlying profit performance in our tenanted business, Pub Partners, has softened in the last two months as we anticipated. Underlying LFL profits for the year-to-date are -5.3%, driven in the main by a decline in beer volumes and increased levels of licensee support. However, licensee 'health measures' remain largely unchanged. Our re-organisation of the division into Core and Independent pubs will play an important role in adapting our business to face the most extreme trading conditions we and our licensees have seen.

Enterprise Inns LFL sales down 8%.

Hotfinance - I wish I was as good as you are at predicting the future. And you seem to know what the actual sales levels are at JDW.

What would threads like this do without such fantastic insider knowledge and insightful comments? You are a star.

[hotfinance14] 09/1/2009 13:25

It will be going down soon...you heard it here.

[jeffian] 09/1/2009 11:59

Good boy. Just like to know you're still there on the up-days even if you can't bring yourself to say anything!
