Applied Nutrition gives upbeat revenue update
UK sports-nutrition firm Applied Nutrition has said the company expects its revenue for its 2025 and 2026 fiscal years to be 'ahead of market expectations'. In a trading update yesterday (19 August), the maker of protein powders, bars and nutrition drinks provided a provisional estimate of its earnings for its financial year that recently closed on 31 July. Applied Nutrition anticipates revenue to have increased by 24% to £107m ($144.4m). The figure exceeds market forecasts of £100m. The company attributed the growth to 'strong' trading in the second half of the year, which contributed around £60m to its revenue. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) are projected to rise by 19% from £26m in the prior year. Additionally, net cash is expected to reach £18.5m, surpassing the market consensus of £16.6m. The company, which went public in October, credited its performance to the continued execution of its 'multi-pillar, global growth strategy'. Looking ahead, Applied Nutrition expects revenue for the financial year ending 31 July 2026 to also surpass market expectations. The board expressed confidence in the company's B2B-focused business model, stating that its core strengths will 'continue to drive sustained revenue growth and strong profitability over the long-term'. Applied Nutrition plans to release its audited results for the year ended 31 July on or around 10 November. Thomas Ryder, the CEO of Applied Nutrition, said: "We are proud to report that we have exceeded the guidance we gave at our IPO, with our first full-year results expected to come in ahead of market expectations." Applied Nutrition offers four product ranges – Applied Nutrition, ABE, BodyFuel and Endurance – with over 100 products sold in more than 85 countries. The company operates a US division to support sales through retailer Walmart. It has marketing tie-ups with English and Scottish football clubs, professional boxers and MMA athletes.

Where inflation jumped in July – and where it eased
A steep jump in the cost of air travel, along with increases in the price of many everyday items from tea and coffee to potatoes and eggs, helped push the UK's overall rate of inflation in July to an 18-month high. The average cost of air tickets was 15.5% higher last month than it was a year earlier, compared with an annual rise of just 0.5% in June, according to data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). When comparing figures month on month, air fares jumped 30.2% between June and July: more than double the rise of 13.3% between the same months in 2024, and the largest July increase since monthly inflation data for air travel began in 2021. Prices accelerated for a range of household groceries last month, which further pushed up the cost of living. The average cost of coffee was up 18.0% year on year in July compared with 12.3% in June; tea was up 4.9% compared with 0.5%; fruit juices were up 8.6% compared with 3.6%; and whole milk was up 11.3% compared with 8.4%. Inflation also picked up pace for margarine, eggs, potatoes, crisps, breakfast cereals, chocolate and bread. Energy bills edged higher, with electricity costs up 8.0% year on year in July, greater than the 4.5% jump in June, while gas was up 13.0% compared with 12.3% the previous month. Both petrol and diesel recorded a negative annual rate of inflation in July, but by a smaller margin than in June, indicating a rise in the cost of filling up at the pumps. The average price of petrol in July was down 7.3% year on year, compared with a fall of 9.5% the previous month, while diesel was down 6.0% compared with a previous drop of 8.6%. Not everything saw a jump in price last month, however. Items where prices fell faster year on year in July than in June included pasta and couscous, fish, olive oil and sugar. Inflation eased for cheese, which stood at 3.4% in July compared with 5.2% in June, while children's shoes swung from positive annual inflation (1.9%) to negative (down 1.9%). Below are some examples of how the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rate has eased or accelerated. Two figures are listed for each item: the average rise in price in the 12 months to June, followed by the average rise in price in the 12 months to July. – Examples where annual inflation has accelerated, ranked by the size of change: Passenger air travel: June up 0.5%, July up 15.5%Coffee: June up 12.3%, July up 18.0%Cinemas/theatres/concerts: June up 0.4%, July up 5.7%Fruit & vegetable juices: June up 3.6%, July up 8.6%Tea: June up 0.5%, July up 4.9%Electricity: June up 4.5%, July up 8.0%Hotels/motels: June down 2.7%, July up 0.3%Whole milk: June up 8.4%, July up 11.3%Breakfast cereals: June up 2.2%, July up 5.1%Eggs: June up 3.4%, July up 4.9%Ready-made meals: June up 4.5%, July up 5.7%Potatoes: June up 0.7%, July up 1.9%Crisps: June up 4.2%, July up 5.1%Chocolate: June up 16.3%, July up 17.2%Women's clothes: June up 2.3%, July up 2.9%Soft drinks: June up 5.6%, July up 6.1% – Examples where annual inflation has eased: Children's footwear: June up 1.9%, July down 1.9%Passenger train travel: June up 8.4%, July up 6.1%Fridges/freezers: June up 1.7%, July down 0.5%Dried fruit/nuts: June up 7.4%, July up 5.4%Cheese/curd: June up 5.2%, July up 3.4%Yoghurt: June up 3.0%, July up 1.2%Children's clothes: June down 2.1%, July down 3.8%Pasta/couscous: June down 0.7%, July down 2.1%Fish: June down 0.4%, July down 1.8%Washing machines/dryers: June down 2.0%, July down 3.4%

Morecambe embargo lifted and first game to go ahead
Morecambe have confirmed their National League game against Altrincham will go ahead on Saturday and that they are now able to sign players. The Shrimps were forced to postpone their opening three games of the campaign after being suspended by the league for failing to comply with its rules. The future looked uncertain for the Lancashire club but their protracted takeover by the Panjab Warriors consortium was finally completed on Sunday. Derek Adams was sacked as manager on Monday and replaced with Ashvir Singh Johal, the first Sikh to manage professionally in England, on Tuesday. The club then confirmed on Wednesday that the National League had officially lifted their transfer embargo. The league had previously said the embargo would remain in place until all football creditors, including players, staff and HM Revenue & Customs, had been paid. "With new ownership steering the club into a new era, optimism is building both on and off the pitch," Morecambe said in a statement. "Fans can expect an electric atmosphere as the Shrimps look to make an early statement and set the tone for the season ahead. "This is more than just the first game of the season, it's the start of something special. We want to build a team and a club the town can be proud of, and we're calling on our supporters to come out in force and be part of this journey from day one." On Monday, the BBC understood Morecambe had just five players under contract. Saturday's opponents Altrincham have won one and lost two of their three league games so far this campaign.
