Chairman's statement

 

Introduction

 

2023 traded ahead of 2022 for the corresponding period with like-for-like
sales up 1.4% against the first half of 2022. The first quarter performed
strongly, with like-for-like sales up 3.1% against the previous year which was
impacted by Omicron, which unfortunately was not matched by the second quarter
which disappointed with like for like sales down 0.3%. However, summer trading
exceeded the Board's expectations.

 

Nonetheless, the casual dining market continues to face inflationary pressures
on food, labour and utility costs.  The cost-of-living crisis and interest
rates are at their worst for many years, directly reducing the discretionary
spend of our customers.  We continue to navigate through challenging times
and although this is expected to continue through H2 2023 we are continuing to
adapt the business to mitigate the cost increases and reduced trading
performance.

 

We have focused on optimising the current estate by selling or surrendering
leases in the tail of the estate and seeking to turn around the
underperforming sites.  One under-performing restaurant was returned to the
landlord after the period end in August 2023.

 

The Board was pleased to welcome Gordon Browne as Finance Director (currently
a non-Board appointment) in May 2023. Gordon formerly held senior finance
roles at Oakman Group plc, Chopstix Group and Park Chinois.

 

People

Labour costs have continued to increase; however, staff shortages have been
alleviated to a certain extent as the hospitality sector has shrunk and our
recruitment, training and people engagement has significantly improved. As a
result, staff retention and labour shortages are not as challenging as
previously experienced.  However, with a competitive labour market, we
continue to motivate and develop our teams and ensure that we are competitive
through regular training, progression and pay reviews.

 

Inflationary costs

Despite food inflation continuing to rise we have improved our food margin by
1.5% compared to H2 2022 by constantly refreshing our offer and menu choice,
whilst still delivering good value through close analysis of market trends and
competitive pricing including, a set price two and three course lunch offer.

 

Environmental, social and governance

The wellbeing and safety of our employees and customers is at the centre of
everything we do. We have also retained our focus on sustainability and the
environmental impact of the business, and we remain an equal opportunity
employer.

 

Results

Revenue increased by 0.9% to £21.7m (H1 2022: £21.5m). Q1 performed ahead of
the Board's expectations, however, the second quarter slowed and was flat
against 2022.  Delivery sales continue to decline as expected, in line with
the market as customer habits swing back to dine-in.

 

The adjusted EBITDA for the period was £1.1m (H1 2022: £2.7m).

 

The main reasons for the reduction in EBITDA are due to Covid related support
falling away in terms of VAT reductions, rent and rate concessions as well as
utility price increases.

 

Operating loss before highlighted items was £1.0m (H1 2022: profit £0.4m).

 

We have reviewed the impairment provision across the right-of-use-assets and
fixed assets and have made a net provision of £4.0m allowing for a number of
poorly performing sites (H1 2022: £1.6m).

 

After taking into account of all non-trade adjustments, the Group reports a
loss after tax for the period of £6.2m (H1 2022: loss £2.7m).

 

Cash flows and financing

 

Cash outflow from operations was £1.5m (H1 2022: inflow £0.9m). Our bank
loan of £1.25m was fully repaid in H1 2022 and the Company remains debt free.

 

Overall, the net cash outflow for the period was £4.2m (H1 2022: outflow
£3m). As at 25 June 2023, the Group had net cash of £2.8m (H1 2022: net cash
of £8.0m).

 

Going concern

 

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has sufficient
resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching
this conclusion the Directors have considered the financial position of the
Group, together with its forecasts for the coming 12 months and taking into
account possible changes in its trading performance. The going concern basis
of accounting has, therefore, been adopted in preparing this interim financial
report.

Outlook

In these uncertain times we continue to remain cautious in our approach.
Retention of staff and cost control is a key priority, and the Board remains
cautiously confident of managing current challenges.

Finally, and most importantly, we would like to thank all our people,
shareholders, suppliers and other stakeholders for their continued support
throughout these difficult times.

Change of Name of Nominated Adviser and Broker

 

The Company also announces that its nominated adviser and broker has changed
its name to Cavendish Securities plc (formerly Cenkos Securities plc)
following completion of its own corporate merger.

Notes to the condensed financial statements
for the 26 weeks ended 25 June 2023 (unaudited)

1    General information

Tasty plc is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom under
the Companies Act (registration number 05826464). The Company is domiciled in
the United Kingdom and its registered address is 32 Charlotte Street, London,
W1T 2NQ. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on the AIM Market of the
London Stock Exchange ("AIM"). Copies of this Interim Report and the Annual
Report and Financial Statements may be obtained from the above address or on
the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.dimt.co.uk
(http://www.dimt.co.uk) .

2    Basis of accounting

The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial
report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial
Reporting', as adopted by the United Kingdom and accounting policies
consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
interpretations as endorsed by the United Kingdom. The same accounting
policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in the
preparation of these results as were applied in the Company's latest annual
audited financial statements.

 

The financial information for the 26 weeks ended 25 June 2023 has not been
subject to an audit nor a review in accordance with International Standard on
Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by
the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Financial Reporting
Council.

The financial information for the period ended 25 December 2022 does not
constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The Annual Report and
Financial Statements for 2022 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements
for 2022 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 condensed financial statements are presented in sterling and all values
are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (£'000).

Except when otherwise indicated, the consolidated accounts incorporate the
financial statements of Tasty plc and its subsidiary, Took Us A Long Time
Limited, made up to the relevant period end.

Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements management has made judgements
and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and
measurement of assets and liabilities, income and expense provisions. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.

Going concern

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In
reaching this conclusion the Directors have considered the financial position
of the Group, together with its forecasts for the next 12 months from the date
of approval of these interim accounts and taking into account possible changes
in trading performance. The Group monitors cash balances and the impact of
inflation closely to ensure there is sufficient liquidity. Accordingly, the
Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial
statements on a going concern basis.

IFRS 16 'Leases'

Group's accounting policies for leases are as follows:

Lessee accounting

IFRS 16 distinguishes between leases and service contracts on the basis of
whether the use of an identified asset is controlled by the customer. Control
is considered to exist if the customer has:

•     The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits
from the use of an identified asset; and

•     The right to direct the use of that asset in exchange for
consideration.

 

 

All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease
liability except for:

•     Leases of low value assets, and

•     Leases with a duration of 12 months or less.

 

Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of
interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced
for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line
basis over the remaining term of the lease.

Lessor accounting

Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases
or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently.

Based on an analysis of the Group's operating leases as at 25 June 2023 on the
basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the Directors of
the Group have assessed that the impact of this change has not had any impact
on the amounts recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less
and leases of low value assets. The Group recognises these payments as an
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Currently the Group has
no low value assets or short-term leases.

 

Covid-19 related rent concessions

IFRS 16 defines a lease modification as a change in the scope of a lease, or
the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and
conditions of the lease. The Group has considered the Covid-19 related rent
concessions and applied the lease modifications accounting.

 

Impairments

 

All assets (ROU and fixed assets) are reviewed for impairment in accordance
with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, when there are indications that the carrying
value may not be recoverable.

Assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Where the carrying value of an asset or a cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds
its recoverable amount, i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less
costs to dispose of the asset, the asset is written down accordingly.

The Group views each restaurant as a separate CGU.   Value in use is
calculated using cash flows excluding outflows from financing costs over the
remaining life of the lease for the CGU discounted at 9% (2022: 8%), being the
rate considered to reflect the risks associated with the CGUs. A growth rate
of 1.0% has been applied (2022: 2%).

An impairment review was undertaken across the ROU assets and fixed assets
which resulted in a net impairment charge of £4.0m (2022: £1.6m).  Where an
impairment reversal is recognised, the carrying amount of the asset will be
increased to its recoverable amount with the increase being recognised in the
income statement. This increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years.

The assumptions will be reviewed at year-end to ensure that the cashflow
expectations are in line with the latest outlook.

3    Revenue, other income and segmental analysis

 

The Group's activities, comprehensive income, assets and liabilities are
wholly attributable to one operating segment (operating restaurants) and
arises solely in the one geographical segment (United Kingdom) that the Group
is located and operates in. All the Group's revenue is recognised at a point
in time being when control of the goods has transferred to the customer.

 

 

An analysis of the Group's total revenue is as follows:

                                                    26 weeks to      26 weeks to  52 weeks ended 25 December

The basic and diluted Loss per share figures are calculated by dividing the
net loss for the period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The diluted earnings per
share figure allows for the dilutive effect of the conversion into ordinary
shares of the weighted average number of options outstanding during the
period. Options are only taken into account when their effect is to reduce
basic earnings per share.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease
payments, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate of 4.5% and
the Bank of England (BoE) base rate at the time of any lease modification or a
new lease.  The average rate used for modification in 2023 was 8.0% (2022:
5.1%).

 

The lease liabilities as at 25 June 2023 were £49.0m (2022: £52.5m).

 

The right-of-use assets all relate to property leases. The right-of-use assets
as at 25 June 2023 were £29.2m (2022: £34.6m). During the period ended 25
June 2023 the Group made a provision for impairment of the right-of-use assets
against a number of sites totalling £2.6m (2022: £1.3m).

 

Included in profit and loss for the period is £1.2m depreciation of
right-of-use assets and £1.2m financial expenses on lease liabilities.
