Jacobs coffee maker JDE Peet's unveils brand-led strategy, sets mid-term targets
The group, which sells coffee, tea and hot chocolate under more than 50 brands globally, targets 500 million euros ($589 million) of net productivity savings, with more than a half of them to be achieved by end of 2027.
"Our 'Reignite the Amazing' strategy is brand-led and is centred around three Big Bets: Peet's, L'OR and a strategically selected set of ten iconic brands, led by Jacobs," CEO Rafael Oliveira, who took the role in late 2024, said in a statement ahead of the company's investor day.
JDE Peet's said the "big bets" were selected because of their ability to meet both current and emerging consumer needs, driving long-term growth and market relevance.
Jefferies analysts wrote ahead of the strategy announcement that the company under its former management team between 2022 and 2024 had made costly strategic decisions, exposing it to poor capital discipline, most notably on U.S. machine expansion which lacked scale and strategic fit.
The group has also been affected by a rise in coffee bean prices that has bit into its margins. It said in February it was not expecting the green coffee prices to come down in the near future.
It set financial targets for 2030-2032 and beyond, expecting its gross profit to grow between 4% and 7% and adjusted operating profit to rise by 5% to 8%, with a cumulative free cash flow of at least 3.5 billion euros during the period.

Fancy coffee shop swamped with protests after fed-up customer reveals she was charged for having croissant cut in half
A FANCY coffee shop in northern Italy has been swamped with protests after a fed-up customer revealed she was charged extra for having her croissant cut in half. The woman, who has not been named in local media, visited Audrey Patisserie in Oderzo on Sunday for breakfast, ordering two coffees and a pastry. 4 4 4 But when she asked staff to slice the croissant so she could share it with her mother, she later discovered an extra €0.10 (around 9p) charge on the bill. Fuming, she shared the receipt online, writing: 'It's not about the cost, it's the principle.' Her post spread like wildfire, sparking an avalanche of fury from social media users. One user blasted: 'You have to hate your customers to charge them €0.10 to cut a croissant in half. 'A total lack of elegance, refinement, and empathy. 'They should bring hotel management students to your restaurant to show them how not to treat your customers. Pathetic.' Another piled on: 'Disgusting cappuccino and they ask 10 cents to cut a croissant in half, never again, how squalid.' A third raged: '€0.10 what a disgrace… just to cut a croissant!!!' The backlash left café owner Massimiliano Viotto under siege, as his shop was bombarded with negative reviews. He said: 'We were flooded with one-star reviews from people who have never even visited our shop. Customer Charged Surprise $5 'Bitching Fee' at Pizzeria After Speaking Up 'Our Google rating dropped from 4.5 to 3.5, but we're confident it will recover with time and dedication.' Viotto denied the charge was a rip-off, even though it doesn't appear on the menu, claiming it covers the use of an extra plate and napkin and the 'skill' needed to cut a pastry. Bafflingly, a photo from the café shows a staff member simply snipping through a croissant with a pair of scissors while steadying it with a fork. He insisted: 'It's not a scam. It is a conscious choice that we defend with pride.' The row adds to Italy's growing reputation for bizarre summer surcharges. Last year, a woman in Arezzo revealed she was slapped with a £50 fee to cut her own birthday cake in a restaurant. And it's not the only baffling bill making headlines. A man has told how he was left scratching his head after a local restaurant added a mysterious 'S Charge' to his tab. The 2.75% extra fee — around 70 cents — appeared despite him paying in cash, meaning it couldn't be a card surcharge. Posting the receipt online, he wrote: 'After eating at a local restaurant I noticed a charge on the receipt I did not recognize and have never seen before. 'I emailed the contact listed on their website a week ago but never received a response. 'Can someone tell me what is the S Charge (2.75%)? Can't be a credit card up charge since I paid cash.' The post sparked heated debate, with most guessing it was some form of service charge. 4

Fast-growing motor insurer Cuvva enlists bankers to explore sale
Why you can trust Sky News Cuvva, a fast-growing provider of short-term motor insurance, has drafted in advisers to explore a sale a decade after it was founded. Sky News has learnt that Cuvva has hired Perella Weinberg Partners to field interest from potential buyers following a series of unsolicited approaches. Sources said a sale process was expected to kick off in the coming months. Cuvva has sold more than 13m policies since launching in 2015, and has signed up in the region of 1.4m customers. The company is chaired by the City grandee Bruce Carnegie-Brown, who recently stepped down as chairman of Lloyd's of London. Roughly 7% of total UK monthly motor policies are now sold through the Cuvva app, according to the company. Based in London, it employs about 100 people. Responding to an enquiry from Sky News, Cuvva said: "Following Cuvva's recently published 2024 financial results - highlighting a record year of growth and tripling profit - we have since received a significant amount of inbound interest. "As such, in the best interests of our business and shareholders, we will be exploring these to see if we can find the right fit for our future ambitions and next stage of growth as Cuvva matures. "As a high-growth business that continues to experience tremendous success and profitability. "We will always consider all our options from interested parties - the priority is to ensure we deliver the best value for our shareholders and Cuvva." The company has raised more than £20m from investors including LocalGlobe, the prominent backer of early-stage companies. Last year, it tripled adjusted profit to £12.8m on turnover of £27.4m, driven by customer retention and high demand for short-term car insurance. Cuvva claims that roughly one in three 21-29 year old drivers in Britain have downloaded its app.
