Supreme’s spree of acquisitions is far from over, the company has promised, as the publicly traded fmcg group’s diversification strategy boosted revenues 17.3% in the first half of 2025.
Boasting of a “robust M&A pipeline” to follow its acquisitions of 1001 carpet care in September 2025 and Slimfast UK & Europe in October, the company remained “ideally placed” to expand its drinks and wellness business, it said in H1 results published this morning.
While acquisitions made up most of the group’s £19.6m growth in the six months ending 30 September, underlying growth made up £4.2m of the total – representing 3.7% like-for-like growth. Total revenues in the half came to £132.6m.
Gross profit increased 13% thanks to higher volumes, up to £38.4m from £34.1m, though profit before tax fell 5% to £12.2m.
Typhoo has now been “fully integrated”, with a financial and operational turnaround underway at the brand, including the opening of a new UK manufacturing facility and rebrand. Typhoo was picked up from administration by Supreme in December 2024. It owed creditors nearly £100m at the time of collapse.
“I’m delighted to report another period of sales growth supported by organic growth coupled with the positive impact from acquisitions,” said Supreme chief executive Sandy Chadha.
“Supreme is now home to over 40 brands and licenses, including Typhoo, SlimFast and 1001, with access to an extensive retail footprint. This unique market reach will continue to enable the business to further leverage our growing product portfolio, alongside developing new products to further expand our market share.
“We remain confident about the business and look forward to updating investors as we continue to evolve.”
While the company had experienced “ongoing weakness” in its household and electrical category – which it blamed on overall market decline – it managed to achieve 13% growth in vaping revenues to £76.9m, after successfully navigating the ban on disposable vapes.
