Cranswick plc, a leading UK food producer, announces its audited preliminary results for the 52 weeks ended March 29, 2025. The company reports strong financial performance with record revenue of £2.72 billion and adjusted profit before tax of £197.9 million. Cranswick has made significant investments in its asset base, farming operations, and acquisitions to support long-term growth. The company has also secured long-term supply agreements with strategic retail partners. The board proposes a final dividend of 76.0 pence per share, reflecting a 12.2% increase. Cranswicks successful performance is attributed to its strong customer relationships, talented workforce, and well-invested asset base.

The Groups viability and Going Concern are assessed over a 16-month period, and the Board expects Cranswick to have adequate resources to continue operations during this time.
