British baker Greggs warns of ongoing inflation challenge

LONDON, March 7 (Reuters) - Britain's popular baker and fast food chain Greggs (GRG.L) warned that high inflation would continue to be a challenge this year, but said it was confident its value offer of sausage rolls, steak bakes and pizza would help drive growth. For 2022, Greggs posted pretax profit of 148.3 million pounds ($178.6 million), in line with analysts' forecasts, on total sales which rose 23% to 1.51 billion pounds. Profit was held back by rises in the prices of ingredients, energy and labour, with cost inflation totalling about 9% over the year, said Greggs, which trades from over 2,300 shops across Britain. "Although consumer incomes remain under pressure, Greggs continues to offer exceptional value to people looking for great tasting, high-quality food and drink on-the-go," she said in a statement on Tuesday.

SummarySummary Companies Christmas quarter like-for-like sales rise 18.2%Value offers and seasonal favourites appealSticks to full-year profit guidanceLONDON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Greggs (GRG.L) said its Festive Bakes, mince pies and salted caramel lattes, along with breakfast and lunch offers, appealed to cash-strapped Christmas shoppers, helping like-for-like sales rise 18.2% in the final quarter. However it stuck to its forecast of limited profit growth for the year, reflecting higher costs for energy, ingredients and staff. Chief Executive Roisin Currie said cost inflation would continue to be "material" in 2023, but she was confident Greggs would continue to make progress. Greggs has widened its menu to include more vegan options as well as new drinks and hot options. She said Greggs would keep working to mitigate the impact of rising costs this year after a "tough" 2022 for consumers.
