CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report continued progress for the Hotel Chocolat brand during the 26 weeks to 25 December 2016. Revenue in the period grew by 14% (12% on a proforma basis) and profit before tax for the period increased by 28%. Hotel Chocolat delivered growth across all channels, benefitting from improved seasonal ranges including new gift hampers, which encouraged customers to "trade up" to higher price points.  The business remains focused on the three key pillars of its growth strategy:

 

1) Open stores including new Shop+Cafe format

We opened 10 new stores in the period and completed one relocation. Of the new stores, seven included variations of our Hot Chocolat-led cafe offer. The modular design of the cafe allows us to tailor the offer to the site and the catchment; for example our new store at Euston station includes a takeaway-only cafe, whereas our new store in Worcester includes 50 seats and a separate space for tasting experiences. The Group also signed a further lease on a 1,500 sq ft unit in a prime location on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, which will open later in 2017.

 

2) Increase capacity and capture efficiencies from the vertically integrated supply chain

Significant capital investments at our factory were completed in September, on time and on budget, this increased manufacturing capacity by 20%. This increase enabled the Group to produce more stock and thus maintain strong availability right up to the end of the Christmas season. Improved efficiency supported a gross margin increase of 0.6 percentage points.

 

3) New digital proposition to grow customer base and improve gifting proposition 

Digital revenues, comprising website plus subscription club, grew 11% overall.

The website delivered a 23% year-on-year growth driven by a strong increase in customer numbers and increased average transaction value. A new website launched in January 2017 and initial indications are encouraging with mobile conversion increasing significantly, the new site is faster and dwell time has also increased.

Subscription club sales declined 6%, while operating profit increased. New customer recruitment activities into the club have been scaled back whilst the model is being improved and reformed around the new website, which launched in January 2017. The next phase of the Tasting Club evolution will improve the online customer experience and integrate product despatch into the central distribution centre, rather than outsource. A new subscription clubs team is now in place to add focus and drive behind this important channel, with good growth opportunities ahead.

 

Other developments

This is the first reporting period for which Hotel Chocolat Estates Limited, Saint Lucia (HCESL) was part of the Group for the full period. Development of a new visitor attraction is progressing well and expected to open in 2018.

 

The Group has a Cocoa Spa in Saint Lucia and also sells a range of Cocoa Beauty products. Currently these products represent less than 1% of total sales. The Group has entered into a joint venture with its Chairman Andrew Gerrie to further develop and grow this category. The Group owns 30% of the venture "Rabot 1745 Limited" and Andrew Gerrie holds 49%, with the balance held by other parties. It is envisaged that the venture will operate as a low cost start-up, with the goal of developing an enhanced beauty product range with a view to growth in the medium to long term.

 

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

10 new stores opened during the period, contributing 4% to the Group's year-on-year growth in revenue. Retail, digital and corporate wholesale all delivered like for like sales growth.

 

Gross margin, operating expense and underlying EBITDA

Gross margin increased 60 basis points to 68.0%, supported by the efficiency investments at the factory.  A tight focus on operating expenses meant that expenditure of £28.8m represented an improved ratio of 46.1% of sales (H1 FY16: 47.7%). The combined effect of increased sales, improved gross margins and a reduction in operating costs as a percent of sales, was a 27% increase in underlying EBITDA to £13.7m (H1 FY16 £10.8m).

 

Share based payments

Share-based payment expense of £0.3m (H1 FY16: £ nil) related to a new share-based Long-Term Incentive Plan and an all-employee Save As You Earn Plan. Both these schemes were detailed in the admission document.

 

Foreign currency

The business manufactures the majority of its products in the UK, however it does purchase some ingredients in foreign currencies, predominantly in Euros. The Group hedges its forecast Euro purchases 18 months ahead.

 

Finance income and expense

Finance income of £3k in H1 FY17 represents interest on bank deposits, in the prior period income of £96k represented related-party loan interest receivable from Hotel Chocolat Estates Limited, Saint Lucia (HCESL). Following the acquisition of HCESL in April 2016 the outstanding loans were capitalised.

 

Earnings per share

Earnings per share in the period were 7.8p. To facilitate a meaningful comparison dividing the profit in the prior period by the number of shares in issue at the time of IPO in May 2016 gives an adjusted prior period EPS of 6.2p.

 

Dividend

The Board does not propose an interim dividend. The Board's objective is to pay a maiden final dividend, subject to the continued performance of the business in the balance of the year.

 

Cash flow and closing cash position

Net cash inflow from operating activities was £22.1m (H1 FY16: £16.2m).

 

Net cash at the end of the period was £16.2m, an improvement of £17.2m on the prior period. The Group has access to an £18m revolving credit facility with Lloyds Bank plc to fund seasonal working capital requirements. The facility matures in April 2018.

 

Major capital projects in the period included 10 new shops, one re-location, the Group's new website and upgrades to the manufacturing facility in Huntingdon.

 

OUTLOOK

Since the end of the period, trading has continued in line with expectations. The plans for the key Mother's Day and Easter seasons build upon the successes of Christmas, including improved gifts and children's ranges. The pipeline for new stores is encouraging with the new formats providing increased flexibility to adapt to different locations. We are in the process of finalising our next set of capacity and capability investments for our production facility in order to ensure we can both meet our growth aspirations and improve efficiency in the years ahead. The transition to the new website happened on time and now provides us with exciting growth potential.

 

The headwinds facing all retailers in the UK are widely projected to drive input cost inflation, however the Group seeks to mitigate these headwinds through a combination of vertical integration, UK-based manufacturing, and currency hedging. A strong differentiated brand that offers great products and customer service, priced as an affordable luxury also provides further mitigation, giving the Board confidence in the Group's continued progress.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.             Basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs), as adopted by the European Union.

 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the period ended 26 June 2016 and that are expected to be applied in the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the period ended 2 July 2017. There are new or revised standards that apply to the period beginning 27 June 2016 but they do not have a material effect on the financial statements for the period ended 25 December 2016.

 

The comparative financial information for the period ended 26 June 2016 in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts for that period under 435 of the Companies Act 2006.


Statutory accounts for the period ended 26 June 2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.


The auditors' report on the accounts for 26 June 2016 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The results for the period ended 26 June 2016 have been adjusted to reflect a restatement of fair value of foreign currency forward contracts. The impact of this restatement has been to increase net assets by £935,026 (impacting the derivative financial instruments and deferred tax balances) and increase total comprehensive income by £935,026. Profit after tax and earnings per share are unchanged.

Chocolate bonds pay a return either in boxes of luxury chocolates or by way of a Hotel Chocolat gift card. For those bonds with a return in the form of chocolate, the coupon is fixed by number of boxes. For bonds where there is a return paid by way of a Hotel Chocolat gift card, there is a fixed rate of interest. The interest as stated on issue of the bonds ranged between 6.7% and 7.3%.    

 

Chocolate bonds are repayable subject to formal notice given six months prior to a redemption note. In order to redeem the bond, notice must be given by January and payment is made in July of the same year. For all chocolate bonds, where notice has been given, the amount repayable is shown within current liabilities. The remaining bonds for which notice has not yet been given are shown within non-current liabilities. Both bonds are unsecured.

 

On 27 April 2016, the Group negotiated a two-year, bilateral revolving credit facility (RCF). Interest is charged at 1.9% over base rate and a commitment fee of 0.8% is due on the available commitment, not yet drawn down.

 

The existing hire purchase and finance leases are secured by a charge over the related fixed assets and have incurred interest at an effective annual rate of 2.0%. A new finance lease was signed during the period.
