25/10/2004 20:03 | From The Publican.com Cider-maker merry as results released Published 14th October 2004 Merrydown plc has issued an upbeat trading update for the six months to 30 September with overall group turnover up eight per cent on last year. The company reported a 14 per cent increase in turnover on its Shloer adult soft drinks brand and double digit growth for its Merrydown Vintage cider. The group is predicting that profit for the six months will exceed £0.75m, reflecting the performance of the company's key brands. Marketing spend in the first half was £0.2m below last year but will be boosted by £0.5m higher in the second half of the year. Merrydown chief executive Nigel Freer commented: "Given the poor summer weather this is a very pleasing position to be in." The full interim results will be announced on November 29 2004. | gateside | |
22/10/2004 15:27 | Have been away, so it was nice to come home to see Merrydown back up towards a pound... Upbeat trading update. Half Year Trading Update Merrydown PLC, owner of the market leading Shloer adult soft drink and Merrydown cider brands, today issues an update on trading for the six months to 30 September 2004, in anticipation of its interim results announcement in November. Despite the poor summer weather which has affected the soft drinks market, Shloer has delivered 14% turnover growth and gained further market share from competitors in the adult soft drinks category. Merrydown Vintage has enjoyed double-digit organic growth following distribution gains and is now in its best trading position for many years as the introduction of new packaging and the current polarisation of the market appears to be favouring premium cider offerings. It remains our policy to concentrate on Merrydown branded sales rather than bulk products and overall Group turnover is approximately 8% ahead of the same period last year. It is expected that profit before exceptional costs for the 6 months will be in excess of #0.75m reflecting the strong performance of the Group's key brands. Marketing spend in the first half was approximately #0.2m lower than in the same period last year but is expected to be #0.5m higher in the second half. There were also one-off bonus costs of #0.2m in the first half of last year. As ever, the out-turn for the full year is heavily dependent on Christmas trading. On 15 July 2004 Merrydown announced the closure of its production site at Horam and confirmed its successful strategy to focus on brand management. Shloer bottling will cease in November 2004 and all activities at Horam are expected to have finished by 31 March 2005. The majority of the #2.5m exceptional costs will be reported in the first half. The interim results will be announced on 29 November 2004. Nigel Freer, Chief Executive of Merrydown, commented: "Given the very real issues concerning the poor summer weather affecting some companies, this is a very pleasing position to be in. Our outlook remains positive and we look forward to reporting on further progress in November." | gateside | |
16/10/2004 22:07 | The press is saying that Merrydown is flying with its premium cider becoming the in-drink. Unfortunately it has not moved down at all and is stuck in its trading range but a solid stock with around 25% upside over the next six months. | barnetpeter | |

14/9/2004 21:05 | Interesting new flavours of their 'posh squash'. Strawberry and Black Pepper Blueberry and Rose Hip. Just hope that they start to carry them in other supermarkets, than just Sainsburies and Waitrose soon Generaly consensus of opinion is that Merrydown are fully valued... something tells me that this growth story is far from over... more than happy to continue holding. | gateside | |
29/7/2004 10:27 | Drink and be merry! RNS Number:3612B Merrydown PLC 29 July 2004 For immediate release 29 July 2004 Merrydown PLC AGM Statement and Trading Update The Board of Merrydown PLC are pleased to announce that at the Annual General Meeting held today, all resolutions were duly passed. At the meeting, the Chief Executive, Nigel Freer, made the following statement: "I am pleased to report that Shloer sales continue to grow strongly and we are poised for the main burst of summer promotional activity which this year will take place in the late summer. "The new product programme is progressing well. The Posh Squash and Sorelle trials are encouraging and the new 275ml Shloer bottle is now in production. We are also planning the launch of another completely new drink in the autumn. "Vintage sales have started the year in line with the same period last year. Whilst the underlying rate of sale in supermarkets is growing, the wholesale sector overall continues to under-perform. "This year a greater proportion of our marketing activity will take place in the second half of the financial year. This will benefit the results for the half year to 30 September 2004, whilst not affecting the full year outlook. "Whilst Christmas remains our most important trading period, we are encouraged by the Group's trading and profitability in the year to date and we look forward to making further progress during the rest of the financial year. "Sadly on 15 July 2004 we announced the closure of the Horam factory. It is anticipated that this will give rise to exceptional costs of #2.5m during the year and a gain on disposal of the site substantially in excess of this cost in the following year to 31 March 2006. "Robert Neame is today retiring as a Director of Merrydown PLC and, as planned, is not offering himself for re-election. On behalf of the Board and our shareholders we thank Bobby for his support and excellent contribution to Merrydown over the last 6 years." - ends - For further information, please contact: Merrydown PLC Nigel Freer, Chief Executive 020 7067 0700 Mike Dinnis, Finance Director Weber Shandwick Square Mile Chris Lynch / Katie Hunt / Helen Thomas 020 7067 0700 Print resolution images are available for the media to view and download from www.vismedia.co.uk This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END AGMBBGDRGDDGGSC | wole | |

15/7/2004 09:48 | Merrydown PLC Merrydown's highly successful brand building strategy takes a further important step The Board of Merrydown PLC, which markets the Shloer adult soft drink and Merrydown cider brands, today announces its decision to cease manufacturing and focus on its successful brand management strategy. * After extensive evaluation of the options we have concluded that to make best use of the Group's resources and progress our successful brand management strategy we should close the manufacturing site at Horam. This will very regrettably mean the loss of approximately 35 jobs. During the period to 31 March 2005 production will be moved to a number of well-established sub-contract manufacturers. * Restructuring costs and fixed asset write-offs will amount to #2.5m in the year to 31 March 2005. We are advised that the gain on disposal of the site should be substantially in excess of this cost and is likely to be realised in the year to 31 March 2006. * In the current and next financial years the overall impact on operating profit before exceptional items will be neutral. In subsequent years we will benefit from wider production capability and overhead efficiencies. * The net cash inflow from the exceptional transactions is expected to be at least #3.75m. It remains the Board's long-term intention that cash not required for the development of the Group's core strategy should be returned to shareholders. Nigel Freer, Merrydown's Chief Executive, commented: "This decision is another important step in the strategy of focusing on the management of our core brands which has transformed the Group since it was refinanced and reorganised in 1998. "Given Merrydown's history in Horam this is a painful decision which has not been taken lightly but, in the final analysis, we believe this is the best use of assets and concentrates our resources on the strategy of managing our brands." | gateside | |
10/7/2004 13:56 | No. The eps was 5.5p so at 90p that puts the stock on historic of over 16. Even allowing for another decent increase this year, the shares are just fairly priced. A solid, low risk company for a pension maybe not a must buy. 80p is a good buying price. | barnetpeter | |
10/7/2004 13:01 | Does anyone else agree, that this is starting to look very cheap now???? | daza75 | |
