CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
Financial performance
We have continued to trade well through the first half of the year. Our total sales for the 26 weeks to 28 June 2014 grew by 3.1 per cent. Like-for-like sales in our own shops grew by 3.2 per cent over the same period and our franchised estate has grown to 39 shops (29 June 2013: 21). Whilst our year-on-year performance has benefited from comparison with a period of weak trading in 2013, sales growth is also being driven by initiatives that have further improved our products, availability, service and value.
In addition to improved like-for-like sales the first half result benefited from good cost control and low input cost pressure. We also disposed of a number of surplus freehold properties in the year to date realising property profits of £1.4 million (2013: £0.2 million). Including these gains, operating profit before exceptional items was £16.8 million in the first half of the year (2013: £11.5 million).
After net finance income of £0.1 million (2013: £0.1 million charge) pre-tax profit before exceptional items was £16.9 million (2013: £11.4 million). As previously highlighted we are incurring exceptional costs in 2014 relating to the restructuring of our in-store bakeries and support operations. This is progressing to plan and we have recognised the current expected costs of £8.3 million in the first half of the year. Pre-tax profit including exceptional items was £8.7 million (2013: £11.4 million).
Excluding the exceptional items, but including property profits, diluted earnings per share were 12.5 pence (2013: 8.5 pence).
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 6.0 pence per share (2013: 6.0 pence). This is in line with previous guidance that we will aim to maintain the dividend until it is around two times covered by annual earnings, and then resume a progressive dividend policy at this level of cover. The interim dividend will be paid on 3 October 2014 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on 5 September 2014.
Financial position
Capital expenditure during the first half was £20.4 million (2013: £19.1 million). We have been pleased with the results of our shop refurbishment programme and continue to expect capital expenditure in 2014 to be around £50 million as we invest in upgrading our shop estate and commence the programme that will result in improved processes and systems.
The Group is cash generative and financially robust. Net cash inflow from operating activities in the period was £30.5 million (2013: £24.7 million). We ended the period with a cash balance of £16.8 million and £5.0 million invested in a short term deposit (29 June 2013: cash balance of £12.0 million).
Operational highlights
Trading conditions in the first half of 2014 were more favourable than last year; the weather has been more settled and general economic indicators have been positive. In addition low commodity price inflation has been helpful in supporting margin. The food-on-the-go market continues to grow; however we are also seeing ongoing expansion by existing and new operators and so the marketplace remains very competitive.
We are making good progress in delivering our plans in line with the revised strategy outlined last year:
1. Great tasting fresh food
We have continued to see improved sales as a result of the product changes made last year and, in addition, are now starting to see encouraging results from our 2014 initiatives. Our new and improved coffee blend has been well received and sales are continuing to grow strongly. Our reputation for value for money is growing as we extend our popular meal deals to include hot drinks, cakes, pastries and a wider range of sandwiches.
Most recently we have successfully launched our new and improved sandwich range including new 'Balanced Choice' products offering great tasting options with fewer than 400 calories. The new range presentation emphasises that all of our sandwiches are made fresh in shops every day, setting us apart from many competitors including the supermarkets.
2. A great shopping experience
As well as improvements to our product offer we have continued to benefit from the changes we have made to service levels in our shops, including improved availability and extended trading hours. Our new customer loyalty scheme, Greggs Rewards, has been launched successfully and we are now planning to build on this as we develop our capability to engage with customers and better meet their needs.
Our investment programme to improve the quality of our estate is progressing well. During the first 26 weeks we completed 131 shop refurbishments, in line with our plan to refit around 200 shops during 2014.
Our plan to reshape the estate, rebalancing it towards more sustainable long-term locations, is also on track. We opened 26 new shops (including 14 franchise units) and closed 36 shops, giving a total of 1,661 shops (of which 39 are franchise units) trading at 28 June 2014. We expect shop numbers for the year as a whole to be broadly flat. Almost all of our new shops were opened in locations away from high streets.
3. Simple and efficient operations
Alongside our focus on driving like-for-like sales from our existing estate of shops we continue to concentrate on developing simpler and more efficient operations in our supply chain and support areas. We have completed the restructure of our support areas and are making good progress with our plan to consolidate our in-store bakeries into our regional bakery network. We now anticipate that the majority of these in-store bakery transfers will be completed by the end of this year. The combined financial benefits from these changes remain on track to deliver savings of £2.5 million in 2014 and £6.0 million per year from 2015 onwards.
4. Improvement through change
In August 2013 we announced a five year change programme whereby we will invest in process and systems platforms that will enable us to compete more effectively in the fast-moving food-on-the-go market. We are on track to deliver the first two elements of this programme, relating to workforce management and supplier relationship management, in 2014. We have selected SAP as our core ERP software supplier and are moving forward to the next phase of the programme.
Keeping our people, communities and values at the heart of our business
The scale of change involved in our new strategic plan has inevitably had an impact on our people. It is at times like these that our values as a business are put to the test and I am immensely proud of our teams for the professionalism and fortitude they have displayed as we move forward with our plan.
While business pressures have been unrelenting our people have remained committed to making a difference to our local communities. This is evident through their support of the Greggs Foundation which recently celebrated the launch of its 250th Breakfast Club. We are also proud of the public recognition we have received for our 'work inclusion' and 'employee volunteering' programmes.
Outlook
Our first half performance has been good but has benefited from comparison with a period of weak trading last year and earlier phasing of property profits. Sales growth in July has continued to be strong as we have not experienced the widespread heatwave conditions that depressed sales last year, but this is expected to fall back in the months ahead as we compare with better trading in the remainder of the year.
Input cost inflation has been lower than we expected, driven by ingredients and energy and we expect this to continue through the rest of the year.
We have a strong pipeline of activity in the second half including further investment in product changes and improved customer service alongside our programme of investment in new systems and processes.
Overall, we expect to deliver an improved financial result for the year and further progress against our strategic plan.

Notes
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The condensed accounts have been prepared for the 26 weeks ended 28 June 2014. Comparative figures are presented for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2013. These condensed accounts have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. They do not include all the information required for full annual accounts, and should be read in conjunction with the Group accounts for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2013.
These condensed accounts are unaudited and were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2014.
The comparative figures for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2013 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report; and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Group continues to have strong operational cashflows and the Directors are of the view that the Group has sufficient funds available to meet its foreseeable working capital requirements. The Directors have concluded therefore that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed accounts are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated accounts for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2013 other than those disclosed in note 2.
2. Changes in accounting policies
From 29 December 2013 the following standards, amendments and interpretations were adopted by the Group:
· Transition guidance: Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12;
· IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements';
· IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements';
· IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities';
· IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements (2011)';
· IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011)';
· Amendment to IAS 39 'Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting;
· IFRIC 21 'Levies';
· 'Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities' - Amendments to IAS 32; and
· 'Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets' - Amendments to IAS 36.
The adoption of the above has not had a significant impact on the Group's profit for the period or equity.
3. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Directors consider that the principal risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Group's performance in the remaining 26 weeks of the financial year remain substantially the same as those stated on pages 24 and 25 of our Annual Report and Accounts for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2013, which are available on our website www.greggs.co.uk
4. Operating segment
The Board has considered the requirements of IFRS 8: Operating Segments, and concluded that, as there is still only one reportable segment whose revenue, profits, assets and liabilities are measured and reported on a consistent basis with the Group accounts, no additional numerical disclosures are necessary.

Supply sites
The impairment arises following the decision that additional capacity in the supply chain is not required in the medium term.
Shop impairment and onerous leases
The charges for impairment and onerous leases arise from the decision to focus on reshaping the Group's existing estate through closure and re-site of shops and withdrawal from the Greggs moment brand.
Closure of in-store bakeries
The charge arises from the decision to consolidate the Company's in-store bakeries into its regional bakery network and comprise of redundancy costs, asset write-offs and the costs of making good the shops as bakery equipment is removed.
Restructuring of support functions
The charge relates to the redundancy costs incurred in respect of the restructuring.
6. Defined benefit pension scheme
The valuation of the defined benefit pension scheme for the purposes of IAS 19 (Revised) as at 28 December 2013 has been updated as at 28 June 2014 and the movements have been reflected in these condensed accounts.
7. Taxation
The taxation charge for the 26 weeks ended 28 June 2014 and 29 June 2013 is calculated by applying the Directors' best estimate of the annual effective tax rate to the profit for the period.
