While revenue fell short of expectations due mainly to self-tan weakness, progress on margins, cost synergies and efficiency enabled BAR to deliver a reduction in H1 losses. While growth and profitability in other high margin brands has progressed, Skinny Tan trading is not expected to improve until next year. With synergy benefits having mostly annualised, lower sales forecasts impact the timing of the inflection to profit. We now assume losses both this and next year, albeit net cash is mostly unaffected at £7m and future pension deficit payments have reduced.
