Berentzen Gruppe - Transforming for growth

Berentzen-Gruppe is undergoing a transformation in order to become more agile and dynamic after years of stagnation, and the results are starting to come through. The focus has shifted to driving profitability through portfolio simplification and encouraging consumers to trade up: product and segment mix are now being carefully managed to help improve gross margin. The balance sheet remains very conservative, with a small net debt figure at end H119. Management guidance for the financial year has been reiterated, and H2 product launches may provide further upside.
