Chairman's statement

 

Introduction

 

The start of 2021 like 2020 has been a very challenging time but thanks to our dedicated teams, who have worked tirelessly to sustain the business, Tasty has been able to navigate its way through the issues caused by the pandemic. This included lockdowns, re-opening with restrictions and staff shortages.  Tasty has managed to adapt to the changing environment, the different UK Government guidelines whilst at the same time responding to customer preferences and feedback.

 

Our new bank facility and support from our creditors and landlords, as well as Government support, has seen us through this difficult period, and we now have a viable platform on which to build a successful business.

 

Since re-opening for dine-in in May 2021, sales have been encouraging. However, we remain cautious in our approach as we are mindful that performance has been assisted by VAT and rate support, staycations, pent-up demand and a higher level of disposable income.

 

Tasty is now in a good position to take advantage of the opportunities in the sector due to reduced competition and vacant restaurant and retail space.

 

Rent negotiations

The Group has been successful in achieving rent reductions and lease concessions across most of the estate. Landlords have, in the main, been extremely understanding and supportive.

The Group will continue to review its existing estate to consider further sales of underperforming restaurants. It is likely that certain underperforming sites will not re-open and may be sold or surrendered back to the landlord in future.

 

With the support of the majority of our landlords we have managed to avoid a Creditors Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) within the Group.  However, with the potential of rising infections as we head into the colder months, we will continue to monitor the situation closely in the coming months.

 

People

As we have re-opened for dine-in we have been delighted to be creating new jobs. However, like many in the hospitality industry, recruitment and retention has proved to be very difficult, and this continues to be the case.  With the increased sales volume and recruitment not keeping up with the needs of the business, our teams have played a huge part in ensuring that we continue to operate as "normal" as possible. We have been overwhelmed by the dedication and diligence of our teams.

 

Sam Kaye stepped down from the Board on 14 May 2021 to allow him to focus on his other commercial interests. The Board would once again like to thank Sam for the enormous support and invaluable experience that he has provided to the Group from inception. 

Harald Samúelsson was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in May 2021.   Harald has over 20 years of experience in the UK restaurant industry, including as joint managing Director of Côte Restaurants, and we are delighted to have him on our Board.

We currently have plans to strengthen our senior team to establish a structure that will allow us to expand the business.

Environmental, social and governance

From the onset of the pandemic the Board acted quickly to secure the survival of the business and the long-term financial position of the Group, whilst protecting the health of our employees and customers.  We have also retained our focus on sustainability and the environmental impact of the business, and we are an equal opportunities employer.

Results

Revenue increased by 33% to £11.6m (2020: £8.7m); several factors contributed to this. In H1 2021 even though the lockdown restrictions unexpectedly lasted longer than H1 2020, we were better positioned to take greater advantage of the takeaway and delivery market which has grown significantly throughout the pandemic and continues to remain strong after the re-opening of dine-in. The adjusted EBITDA for the period was £0.8m (2020: loss £0.1m).

 

Operating loss before highlighted items (as detailed below) was £1.4m (2020: loss £2.7m).

 

IFRS16 has resulted in depreciation on right-of-use (ROU) assets and the interest charge on lease liabilities being greater than the charge for rent that would have been reported pre-IFRS16; the net impact on reported loss is £0.8m. The interest charge on the lease liabilities is higher in the earlier years of a lease.

 

We have reviewed the impairment provision across the ROU assets, fixed assets and goodwill and have not made any provision for the period under review (2020: £7.6m). 

 

After taking into account all non-trade adjustments, the Group has a stated loss after tax for the period of £2.7m (2020: loss £11m).

 

Cash flows and financing

 

Cash inflow from operations was £2.4m (2020: £0.8m). During the period, the net proceeds from the sale of property were £nil (2020: £1.9m).  A bank loan of £1.25m was drawn down in January 2021 (2020: repayment of £1.7m).

 

Overall, the net cash inflow for the period was £1.8m (2020: outflow £1.4m).  As at 27 June 2021, the Group had net cash after bank loan of £8.6m (28 June 2020: net cash of £3.2m).  After allowing for aged creditors net cash was £4.2m (28 June 2020: net debt of £0.4m).

 

Going concern

Covid-19 and Government restrictions have had a significant impact on trading.  Since the onset of the pandemic the Group has minimised costs and cash outflows. This included negotiating rent reductions and lease concessions across most of the estate.  The Government Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) was used to support furloughed staff.  To improve liquidity, a £1.25m four year term loan was fully drawn down in January 2021.

 

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 going concern basis of accounting has, therefore, been adopted in preparing the interim financial report.

Outlook

Trading since re-opening for dine-in in May 2021 has been encouraging and exceeded the Board's expectations. We are hopeful that this will continue to remain positive as schools go back and more people return to the office.  However, we expect that the pent-up demand for eating out will naturally diminish in the winter months and any new Government restrictions on dealing with the pandemic may negatively impact the Group's performance. Despite these uncertainties the Board remains optimistic as to the outlook for the Group and expects to keep under review future opportunities for growth.

Finally thank you once again to all our people, shareholders, suppliers, landlords and other stakeholders who have helped our business in these very difficult times.

Notes to the condensed financial statements
for the 26 weeks ended 28 June 2021 (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.

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 European Union and accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations as endorsed by the European Union. 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 27 June 2021 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 27 December 2020 does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2020 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2020 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

Covid-19 and Government restrictions have had a significant impact on trading.  Since the onset of the pandemic the Group has minimised costs and cash outflows. This includes negotiating rent reductions and lease concessions across most of the estate.  The Government Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) was used to support furloughed staff.  To improve liquidity a £1.25m four-year term loan was fully drawn down in January 2021.  The Group has also secured a £0.25m overdraft facility which has not been utilised.

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 should Government restrictions be reintroduced.  The Group monitors cash balances 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'

The Group adopted IFRS 16 for its period starting 30 December 2019 using the modified retrospective approach on transition, recognising leases at the carried forward value had they been treated as such from inception, without restatement of comparative figures.

 

The right-of-use assets all relate to property leases. The right-of-use assets as at 27 June 2021 were £38.3m (28 June 2020: £41.5m). During the period ended 27 June 2021 the Group made a provision for impairment of the right-of-use assets against a number of sites totalling £nil (period ended 28 June 2020: £10.5m). 

 

Lease liabilities are measured at the carried forward present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate of 4.5% plus the Bank of England base rate of 0.1%. The lease liabilities as at 27 June 2021 were £54.9m (28 June 2020: £56.1m).

 

Included in profit and loss for the period is £1.6m depreciation of right-of-use assets and £1.2m financial expenses on lease liabilities.

Impairments

 

All assets (ROU, fixed assets and goodwill) 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 6% (2020: 6%), being the rate considered to reflect the risks associated with the CGUs.  A growth rate of 0.5% has been applied (2020: 0.5%).

An impairment review was undertaken which resulted in an impairment charge of £nil (2020: £7.6m), this is mainly due to trading outside of lockdown being favourable.

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

 

Other income

 

The Group has received Government grants in relation to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) and Covid-19 Business Grants, provided by the Government in response to Covid-19's impact on the business.

In accordance with IAS 20 (Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance) guidelines, the Group has recognised the salary expense as normal and recognised the grant income in profit and loss as the Group becomes entitled to the grant.

Other income includes Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ("CJRS") (£1.9m) and sub-let property income (£0.1m). The Group has also received £1.8m of Government Grants which at the present time have not been recognised in other income while Group assesses when the recognition conditions are met in full.

3     Income tax

The income tax charge has been calculated by reference to the estimated effective corporation tax and deferred tax rates of 19% (2020: 19%).

Tax charge £nil (2020: £0.1m).

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.

Loss per share is calculated using the numbers shown below:
