Commenting on the results, Mark McQuater, Chief Executive, said:

"We are delighted to have delivered excellent growth in revenue, margin and profit in our first full year as a listed company. As a result adjusted Earnings per share were 14.1% higher.  We have achieved this through continually improving the performance of our existing estate and through successfully opening five new bar restaurants.

The Group is benefitting from its growth in scale and the establishment of its second brand Revolucion de Cuba brand which expanded from five to nine branches. We also opened a Revolution in the year.  The new sites are performing well.

Reflecting our confidence in our strong operating model and overall debt free balance sheet we will open another 5 bars in our current year building on the success in 2015. Three new Revolucion de Cuba bars in Harrogate, Reading and Aberdeen are expected to open before Christmas 2016.

This financial year has begun well with recent trading robust with like for like sales of 1.8% in the first 12 weeks of the current financial year."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Our business

The strategy of the Group is to provide high-quality growth retail brands in the bar and food sector.  We plan to grow our two brands Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba both organically and by expansion in terms of the number of operating units.  To this end, we opened five new sites and it is particularly pleasing to note that our Revolucion de Cuba estate has grown to nine units, reflecting the fact that it was the focus of our growth plans this year. 

 

In total we now operate from 62 units, 53 Revolution bars and 9 Revolucion de Cuba bars.  We believe there remains significant scope for expansion with our two brands and, in order to achieve this, we need to continue to delight all of our customers with market-leading premium products in attractive environments.

 

Our results

The financial results in this report reflect continued progress on our growth strategy that we set out when we listed in March 2015.  Our total sales have risen in the year by 6.9% and our like-for-like sales are up by 2.3%.  Profits have followed and with adjusted EBITDA* at £15.6m, we are progressing in line with the Board's longer term expectations. 

 

Our board

Our executive Board is led by Mark McQuater, who has significant experience of the sector.  We are pleased to welcome Chris Chambers to our Board, having joined as CFO on 31 August 2016.  Sean Curran, who was CFO throughout the year, left the business after 13 years of service on 31 August 2016.  We would like to thank him for his valued contribution over that time and wish him well for the future. 

 

At present there are two non-executive directors; Michael Shallow and myself.  It is our intention to add a third non-executive director in 2016 and we have a formal exercise underway to attract a candidate with the appropriate skills and experience.   

 

As far as possible, we move the venues for our Board meetings across our estate.  This brings valuable insight into the business operations as well as providing opportunity for the non-executive directors to have access to senior management. 

 

Our dividend

The board adopts a progressive dividend policy which reflects the cash flow generation and the long term earnings potential of the Group whilst retaining sufficient capital to fund investment to grow the business.  The Board paid an interim dividend this year of 1.5p per share (2015: Nil) and subject

to approval at the Company's AGM, will pay a final dividend of 3.3p per share (2015: 1.7p per share) on 9 December 2016. 

 

Our people

Revolution Bars Group has a skilled workforce as well as experienced senior and regional management teams with proven credentials in the industry.  The Group has built strong cohesive teams across our businesses with a focus on training and effective people development and retention to improve our capability and performance.  I would like to recognise the commitment and the substantial effort of all our employees and thank them for their contribution to the Group's performance.  It is their continued dedication and commitment to the business, together with a clear strategic plan, which is central to our success.

 

Our future

The right brands can succeed in this market and we believe we have the right brands.  Our continued progress on our growth strategy is delivering positive results. Our recent trading has seen positive like-for-like sales of +1.8% in the first twelve weeks of the new financial year.  

 

Our performance in FY16 continues to provide a solid platform on which to grow.  Our current pipeline of new bars gives us the confidence that we can achieve our targets for the growth of both of our brands.  We are obviously operating in an uncertain economic environment but with a clear and focused strategy and our depth of management experience, we remain confident that the business is well positioned for future growth, and we expect to make further progress in 2017.

CEO'S STATEMENT

 

In this, our first full year since Listing, I am delighted that we have taken the opportunity to implement our strategic plan to grow our proven successful brands.  The company has a well-established track record in both creating and growing stand-out national brands in the drink and food retail sector and this forms the basis of our plan.  

 

•   Clear strategic plan for growth

•   Strong results for FY16 with positive like-for-like performance

•   Confirmed development pipeline with attractive sites across the UK

 

Our results for FY16 confirmed our progress.  Like-for-like sales* were +2.3% overall.  Revenue rose by 6.9% in the year to £119.5 million (2015: £111.8 million).   

 

The underlying result, as measured by adjusted EBITDA** of £15.6 million (2015: £14.6 million), benefitted not only from the positive like-for-like sales in the core estate but also from the contributions from the five new bars that we opened during the year.

 

Revolucion de Cuba has been the focus of our growth this year. Of the five sites we opened, four of these were Revolucion de Cuba sites.  Before Christmas, we opened Revolución de Cuba sites at Milton Keynes, Leeds and Nottingham and followed these with a large Revolucion de Cuba site in Liverpool's Albert Docks in the second half.  There is significant growth opportunity for Revolution too.  We opened a new Revolution in Stafford in May 2016. 

 

We now trade from 62 bars across the UK and we have a strong pipeline for future growth. 

 

Summary

•      Positive set of results for the financial year ended 30 June 2016

•      Existing site portfolio achieving positive like-for-like sales of +2.3%

•      Five new bars opened in FY16 and trading well

•      Zero net debt platform at 30 June 2016

 

* Like-for-like sales are defined as total retail sales from bars that have been trading continuously for at least twelve months.

**  Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of exceptional items and non-recurring costs of openings new sites. 

 

Our strategy continues to focus on:

•      providing our customers with exceptional and premium drinks and food experience

•      continued profit improvement from existing sites; and

•      estate expansion through growth for both brands.

 

Existing site profit improvement

It is important that the existing estate continues to deliver in line with its historic returns profile.   In order for this to happen, we have to target improvements in the existing estate each year.  Clearly like-for-like sales growth is always key but efficiency improvements can also be useful in improving profits.  We have underway a programme of targeted efficiencies, focusing on key costs lines, principally payroll.   

 

Growth

The primary driver for growth continues to be organic site acquisition for our two brands.  The sites opened in the year and the current pipeline have been developed wholly on that basis. 

 

From time to time, the market presents opportunities for further expansion.  During FY16, we identified a premium operation which we considered a good fit for our business and we deployed our resources to make an acquisition.  In the wake of the Brexit vote, we concluded that, despite the attractiveness of the target to our business, the timing was not right.  We continue to monitor the market and to examine appropriate opportunities as they arise. 

 

Product

We continue to innovate our product in order to improve the appeal of our brands and to increase our profits.  During the year, we installed commercial blenders in all of our bars, enabling us to deliver a new range of frozen cocktails, in some cases using our bespoke flavours.  Our food business, in addition to seasonal menu changes, saw a stratification of the estate, enabling our offering to be tailored to the local market.  Product innovation through specials, started at the end of last year, was a feature of our food offering throughout FY16. 

 

Estate expansion

Our pipeline of new sites for FY17 looks strong.  We will open a new Revolucion de Cuba site in Harrogate and we will follow this with sites in Aberdeen and Reading in the first half year.  All of these locations are known to us and are capable of trading strongly and in line with our returns expectations. 

 

I would like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work demonstrated by our employees along with our management teams.  Our people are key to the success of the Group and I would like to thank them all for their support during the year and for their contribution to our success.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue for the year was £119.5 million (FY15: £111.8 million), a +6.9% increase compared with the prior year.  This revenue increase was comprised of sales contributions from the five new sites opened during the year, as well as an increased revenue contribution from established sites.  On a like-for-like* basis, sales rose by +2.3%. 

 

*Like-for-like sales are defined as total retail sales from bars that have been trading continuously for at least twelve months.

 

The underlying result, as measured by adjusted EBITDA **, was £15.6 million (FY15: £14.6 million), equivalent to 13.1% of revenue, consistent with the prior year. The result also represents a 6.8% increase over the prior year, as the Group continued to benefit from capital investment in the bars as well as amended product line-ups and enhanced commercial arrangements. 

 

**Adjusted EBITDA excludes exceptional items and non-recurring opening costs. 

 

The Group's reported pre-tax profit rose to £7.1million (FY15: £2.9 million) although both of these measures have been affected by exceptional items or non-recurring items.  The Board's preferred profit measure is adjusted pre-tax profit, which excludes exceptional items and the non-recurring opening costs relating to the opening of new sites.  On this basis, adjusted pre-tax profit rose to £9.2 million (FY15: £8.3 million), an increase of 10.8%. 

 

 

Exceptional items and non-recurring opening costs

Exceptional items, by virtue of their size, incidence or nature, are disclosed separately in order to allow a better understanding of the underlying trading performance of the Group.  These totalled £1.4 million (FY15: £5.4 million), principally relating to professional fees associated with an aborted acquisition.  Non-recurring opening costs refer to costs incurred between the site being acquired and the site opening and include property costs such as rent and rates and staff costs.  Such costs are expensed in full on the day of opening and do not recur.  In the prior year, there were no new openings. 

 

The Board believes that the performance measures, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating profit and adjusted pre-tax profit, give a clearer indication of the underlying performance of the business. 

 

Finance revenue and cost

Finance costs of £0.1m in the year (FY15: £0.1 million) reflect the Group's use of its committed Revolving Credit Facility during the year and non-utilisation costs at other times. 

 

Taxation

The net income tax charge of £1.1 million (FY15: £0.6 million) consists of current income tax expense arising from the standard rate of UK corporation tax, as adjusted for brought forward corporation tax losses and permanent and temporary timing differences and the effect of changes in tax rate. 

 

Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share for the year were 12.1 pence (FY15: 4.6 pence).  Adjusting for exceptional items and non-recurring opening costs means that the adjusted EPS for the year was 14.6 pence (FY15: 12.8 pence), an increase of 1.8 pence per share. 

 

Dividend

The Board has recommended a final dividend of 3.3 pence per share (FY15: 1.7 pence) and this will be proposed at the Company's AGM on 1 December 2016.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. They are presented in pounds sterling, with values rounded to the nearest hundred thousand, except where otherwise indicated. References to 2016 relate to the 53 week period ended 2 July 2016 and references to 2015 relate to the 52 week period ended 27 June 2015 unless otherwise stated

 

The financial information, which comprise the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated cash flow statement and notes, set out in the preliminary statement of annual results has been extracted from the Group's financial statements which have been approved by a resolution of the Board of directors on 4 October 2016 and agreed with the Company's auditor.

 

The financial information set out in this preliminary statement does not constitute the company's statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2016 as defined in section 434(1) and (2) of the Companies Act 2006 (the 'Act').

 

The Group's auditor has reported on the FY15 and F16 financial statements. Its reports were unqualified and did not contain statements under section 498 of the Act. The F15 statutory accounts have been delivered to Registrar of Companies and the statutory accounts for F16 will be delivered in due course.

Going concern basis

Based on the Group's cash flow forecasts and projections, the Board is satisfied that the Group will be able to operate within the level of its bank facilities for the foreseeable future. For this reason the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements

Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to accounting under IFRS which have affected the Group's results. The only changes to the IFRS, IFRS IC interpretations and amendments that are effective for the first time in this financial year are the Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 cycle. These have not had a material impact on the Group. The following IFRS have been issued but are not yet effective:

-       IFRS 16 'Leases' was issued on 13 January 2016 and is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted if IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' has also been applied. The standard is yet to be endorsed by the EU. The standard represents a significant change in the accounting and reporting of leases for lessees as it provides a single lessee accounting model, and as such, requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the underlying asset has a low value or the lease term is 12 months or less. The impact of the standard on the Group is currently being assessed and it is not yet practicable to quantify the effect of IFRS 16 on these consolidated financial statements;

-       IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' replaces all phases of the financial instruments project and IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. The standard is effective from 1 January 2018 and introduces: new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities; a new model based on expected credit losses for recognising provisions; and provides for simplified hedge accounting by aligning hedge accounting more closely with an entities risk management methodology. There is no expected impact of adoption to the Group; and

-       - IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted. It has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The standard establishes a principles based approach for revenue recognition and is based on the concept of recognising revenue for obligations only when they are satisfied and the control of goods or services is transferred. There is no expected impact of adoption to the Group.

 

Segmental information

The Group's continuing operating businesses are organised and managed as reportable business segments according to the information used by the Group's CODM in making decisions about reporting matters.

The Group focuses its internal management reporting predominantly on revenue and operating profit, as the products' potential to generate revenue and operating profit is the chief driver of the Group's business and the allocation of resources. Within the ongoing business, assets and liabilities cannot be allocated to individual operating segments and are not used by the CODM for making operating and resource allocation decisions.

The Group performs all of its activities in the United Kingdom. All of the Group's non-current assets are located in the United Kingdom.

Reductions in the UK corporation tax rate from 23% to 21% (effective from 1 April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April 2015) were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013. In the Budget on 8 July 2015, the Chancellor announced additional planned reductions to 18% by 2020. This will reduce the Company's future current tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax liability at 30 June 2016 has been calculated based on the rate of 18% substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

The Group paid £100,000 to acquire non-trade relationship deficits totalling £5,508,423 from Caspian Holdco Limited as per section 99 of the Corporation Tax Act 20110 as provided for in section 183 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.
