Chief Executive’s Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Kevin Toland: «FY-2019 established foundations on our path towards stability, performance and growth and Q1 FY-2020 revenue has performed in line with our expectations. The negative Q1/2020 organic revenue performance in our North American business was indicated at the time of our FY-2019 results. Whilst we expect Q2/2020 revenue in North America to remain negative, we expect to see positive evolution emerge in H2-2020 as new contract volumes are realised. We expect further underlying Ebitda growth at a Group level for FY-2020 as the benefits of the second year of Project Renew are being realised.» For additional information please read Aryzta’s PDF file below (91 KB).
