InterviewsRestaurant Group CEO Andy Hornby: TRG is emerging stronger and leaner
Under normal circumstances, any CEO of a restaurant group posting a half-year loss of over £200m would be gone. But these are not normal circumstances. So despite that huge fall in pre-tax profits, over half of which was down to restructuring costs, The Restaurant Group CEO Andy Hornby believes the 400-site business is in “good shape, all things considered. You have to judge your performance in the context of what’s going on around you.” Has there ever been context as chaotic as this? “It’s such a strange period,” says Hornby, and it’s fair to say that sales and profits have been so wildly skewed by the events of the last few months that judging any operation by the numbers over the last six months feels pointless.

NewsAnalysts Verdict: The Restaurant Group
J.P. Morgan: We expect a positive market reaction to Restaurant Group’s 1H results. The Group shows it is taking decisive action with its restructuring plan exiting underperforming sites and agreeing improved rental terms with landlord and airport partners. Trading performance post-lockdown is encouraging with Wagamama and Pubs seeing solid LFL growth and outperform their markets, while Leisure has traded in line with the market, and Concessions’ sales being ahead of the passenger declines. In response to COVID-19, costs have been reduced and liquidity has been improved with ND of c.£311m being better than management earlier anticipated. We update our model, reducing forecasts and hence lower our Dec-20 DCF based price target to 110p. Remain OW.
