4 APRIL 2023 - TATE & LYLE PLC

 

RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR ADOPTION OF SIMPLIFIED
OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

 

Introduction

 

On 8 February 2023, Tate & Lyle PLC ('Tate & Lyle' or the 'Group')
announced it would be simplifying its disclosure framework, with the Group's
core operations moving to three operating segments: Food & Beverage
Solutions; Sucralose; and Primary Products Europe. These segments reflect the
new shape of the Group.

 

There are three areas of disclosure simplification: firstly, the
disaggregation of Food & Beverage Solutions and Primary Products Europe,
making each a separate operating segment to improve transparency and clearly
highlight the performance of each.  Secondly, that Central costs will no
longer be reported separately and finally, the Group's primary profit measure
will now become adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation ('Adjusted EBITDA').

 

In advance of the publication on 25 May 2023 of Tate & Lyle's results for
the year ended 31 March 2023, this announcement is being made to provide
details of the framework under which the future results of Tate & Lyle
will be reported and also set out the restated comparative information for the
year ended 31 March 2022 and the six months to 30 September 2022.

 

 

Outline of the restated financial information

 

Set out in the financial information below are details of the restatement for
the year ended 31 March 2022 and the six months ended 30 September 2022,
including a reconciliation from the results originally disclosed for the year
ended 31 March 2022.  The operations of the Group now comprise the following:

 

·    Food & Beverage Solutions operating segment

·    Sucralose operating segment

·    Primary Products Europe operating segment.

 

The financial information has been restated as follows:

 

·    The transfer of Primary Products Europe activities from within the
Food & Beverage Solutions segment to a stand-alone operating segment

·    The allocation of Central costs to the other operating segments,
which has included the re-allocation of total selling and general
administrative costs, firstly attributed by the support provided to each
segment directly, then with non-directly attributed costs allocated on the
basis of segment share of Group gross profit

·    Adoption of Adjusted EBITDA as the Group's primary profit metric.
Accordingly, previously reported adjusted operating profits have been restated
to add-back segment depreciation and amortisation.

 

The adjustments made reflect the reclassification and allocation of previously
disclosed items, with no change in totals for the Group.  All other Group
profit metrics and earnings per share remain unchanged.

 

On 1 April 2022, Tate & Lyle announced that it had completed the sale of a
controlling stake in Primient and its subsidiaries which holds Tate &
Lyle's former Primary Products business in North America and Latin America and
its interests in the Almidones Mexicanos S.A de C.V and DuPont Tate & Lyle
Bio-Products Company, LLC joint ventures (the 'Transaction').  Tate &
Lyle continues to hold a 49.7% interest in Primient.  Details of this
Transaction are provided in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 March
2022.  Tate & Lyle equity accounts for Primient, and it also constitutes
an operating segment.

 

Also set out in the financial information, is a further adjustment to Adjusted
EBITDA to illustrate the pro-forma impact of the Transaction for the year
ended 31 March 2022.  Such adjustment reflects the impact of long-term
agreements that exist between the Group and Primient from completion of the
Transaction, including, inter alia, for the cost of certain services provided
by Primient for procurement of net raw materials and the manufacture of
finished goods products.  The adjustment, a pro-forma charge of £7 million
for the year ended 31 March 2022, is unchanged from that previously reported
in the Annual Report for that year (see page 43 - "Unaudited pro-forma
financial results for the year ended 31 March 2022").

 

Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is designed to show the illustrative impact of the
Transaction on continuing operations as if it had completed on 1 April 2021,
being the start of the earliest period presented in this document.
Accordingly, no pro-forma adjustment is provided for the six months to 30
September 2022 as that period is wholly after the completion of the
Transaction.

 

There is no impact on the restatements set out below from the corresponding
change to the pro-forma adjustment of the Group's equity accounted share of
profits of Primient from completion, which can be seen in the above-mentioned
section of the 2022 Annual Report.  This adjustment is not shown in this
document.

1.     Adjusted results and a number of other terms and performance
measures used in this document are not directly defined within IFRS. We have
provided descriptions of the various metrics and their reconciliation to the
most directly comparable measures reported in accordance with IFRS and the
calculation (where relevant) of any ratios in Note 4 to the Notes to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

2.     Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of exceptional items of £93
million.

3.     Adjusted amortisation excludes amortisation of acquired intangible
assets of £10 million (costs associated with amounts recognised through
acquisition accounting that impact earnings compared to organic investments).

4.     Share of profit after tax of joint ventures is zero, as in the year
presented the Group's interest in its former joint ventures of Almidones
Mexicanos S.A de C.V and DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio-Products Company, LLC were
part of the disposal Group and are included in 'Profit for the period -
discontinued operations'.  This summary income statement is prepared on a
reported basis, and accordingly the pro-forma adjustment to show the Group's
share of profit in Primient is not shown as that interest was created on 1
April 2022, after the period shown.
