During the previous period, 5,127,959 shares (4.1% of the share capital) were purchased by the company for cancellation, at a cost of £39.5 million, including stamp duty and fees, representing an average cost per share of 770p.

It does look like the average cost will be significantly lower this time.

It is a sign of confidence that JDW is buying back shares at this time. Especially just after the recent news from our esteemed chancellor. I also wholeheartedly agree with other posters that JDW will be least impacted within the segment of the sector given its pricing structure and room to adjust prices upwards. February is usually the month for any re-pricing. Though given the popularity of the venues (especially in the capital) and as they are rammed at evening times then perhaps a tap on the pricing tiller might be in order soon....

I am still of the view that Tim and his board will with all new costs from April 25 aim for an 8% margin this year and next. As to the SP, well I am in for the long run and happy for buybacks to continue at these levels.

Reckon we just saw 2 x 250K trades at 630 as part of the JDW buyback. If memory serves me right JDW spent just over £30 Mil last year so if this is matched this year then some way to go. My guess is JDW will have purchased some 5 Mil shares for cancellation this time round. RNS 7am Monday ?

Seems good value at £6.10, sold FSTA before budget, made good 1 yr gain, not as busy as JDW. Agree with others should raise prices to reduce overcrowding. Added today £6.10 fall seems overdone, reaction to budget. End of the day, in the 2020's people like to eat out & not likely to give up one of their rewards, as long as affordable. In many locations JDW only affordable option. We'll that's my theory!.

MAB is almost definitely in the same Boat as JDW the only businesses exempt are the smallest. Even Hairdressers are complaining about find the extra costs.
Seems the shorts are targeting JDW.

I remember when Public Sector jobs were way behind Private Sector pay but they got the Golden Pensions. Now pay is above the Private Sector and Nuke Proof Golden Pensions!
This all changed with Blair, TT Kier seems determined to send into the Orbit!

isis, yes the entire sector faces extra headwinds.

I was not intentionally singling out JDW,
but as this is the JDW board..etc

All kicks in from new tax year (including business rate and draft beer changes). JDW puts the slide rule over all the changes and will probably publish new prices before the spring.... as will the competition. Suspect the analysts will maintain their target price on JDW (some 40% more than the current price). Could not resist picking up some more late on yesterday. The main issue for the hospitality sector as I see it is that many more small pubs will shut up shop before then.

It's been quite a while since Spoons has rewarded JDW shareholders with a dividend.
Will it continue paying dividends in the future ?? Possibly not.

It's worth remembering that Spoons is closing more pubs than it is opening, and then blaming it on a lack of profitability on those establishments being closed or put up for sale.

Tim Martin would do far better sending out 25% OFF discount vouchers with the Spoons Annual Report & Accounts, that way shareholders would be incentivised to use the discount vouchers and spend money in Spoons establishments.

It works, because Mitchells & Butler already do this very successfully

Dividends and return of capital

As a result of the improved trading and financial position of the company, the board is recommending the payment of a final dividend, equivalent to the 2019 annual dividend, of 12 pence (2023: nil) per share.

During the period, 5,127,959 shares (4.1% of the share capital) were purchased by the company for cancellation, at a cost of £39.5 million, including stamp duty and fees, representing an average cost per share of 770p.

...

The board proposes, subject to shareholders' consent, to pay a final dividend of 12.0p (2023: nil) per share, on 28 November 2024, to those shareholders on the register on 25 October 2024, giving a total dividend for the year of 12.0p per share.

I would like to vouch for EssentialInvestor.
EI & I have discussed the pub sector on several threads for a couple of years.
However, I am not convinced Ryanair and Whitbread indicate consumer spending is under pressure".
Ryanair and Whitbread are both seen as low cost, good value businesses and operate dynamic pricing policies. Strong demand post covid allowed both to increase prices and margins.
As demand returns to normal levels, prices have softened. Both companies have also been increasing their capacity.

JDW are in a sector where competition has been closing. JDW have kept prices very competitive during the cost of living crisis at the expense of profits. JDW has the capacity to increase margins and still offer very good value as sentiment improves.

I also currently hold no position in JDW

EI, I've not had a chance to look at the JDW results with a clear mind after the shock of ACRL this morning.
I would say Tim and his friends run JDW to their own tune. JDW have kept a lid on the price rises and have room to increase prices, almost at will, as they are the cheapest by far in the industry

"A 2% price increase at the till has a 40% drop through to profits"
Time 16:40

I do not know how accurate that 2% number is but IMO JDW have room to push prices up as inflation drops, boosting margins to historical levels.
I don't hold JDW at the moment but may jump back in if JDW start the share buyback again. NLW increase is a negative headwind across the whole service sector so JDW may drift lower still in the short term.
Euro 24 in the summer should also boost interest.
