A G BARR p l c : Annual Report and Accounts FY 2021/22

I am pleased to present A.G. BARR p.l.c.'s Annual Report and Accounts for the 53-week year ended 30 January 2022.

We aim to provide a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Company, including our business model, strategy, performance and prospects in relation to material financial, economic, social, environmental and governance issues.

Our report includes a comprehensive assessment of the principal risks facing the business. It also seeks to identify and evaluate maers that are of common material interest to our stakeholders and to our business, to understand how they may affect our ability to create value over time. These maers are integral to our planning processes and help support the delivery of our strategy.

Our overarching business purpose remains steadfast - to create value, with values - for our shareholders, consumers, customers and for society as a whole. We do this by building great brands.

I am delighted with the resilience that our business has demonstrated over the past 12 months. We have continued to provide excellent customer service, high quality products and strong business support to all of our customers. We have delivered an excellent financial performance against a volatile backdrop, whilst at the same time delivering on our strategic priorities, and I am particularly proud of the progress we have made across our "No Time To Waste" environmental sustainability programme.

I remain confident in both our ability to deliver continued growth in both revenue and profit in the coming year and in our longer-term continued success, delivering on our strategic priorities - connecting with consumers, building brands, driving efficiency and building trust.

Our Business

A.G. Barr is a branded consumer goods business focused on growth.

Our overarching purpose is to create value, with values - for our shareholders, consumers, customers and for society as a whole. We do this by building great brands.

Established over 140 years ago in Scotland and now operating across the UK and with export markets throughout the world, we strive to grow our business both organically and through partnerships and acquisition.

Employing 895 people across nine UK locations, we are proud to be a responsible business that listens to our consumers, builds lasting customer relationships, takes care of our people, values diversity, gives something back to our communities and works to minimise our environmental impact.

At our core is the Barr Soft Drinks business unit, home to some of the UK's most loved soft drinks brands. We make it our business to understand what consumers want and build great tasting and differentiated soft drinks brands that people love.

Whether it's the iconic IRN-BRU, launched in 1901 and still going strong today, our vibrant RUBICON fruit, juice and energy drinks, or our unique range of BARR flavours, our brands offerpeople a choice of great tasting products and bring exciting innovation to the market.

Enhancing our portfolio, we also operate a limited number of brand partnerships, complementing our own range of products with global brands SNAPPLE and BUNDABERG Brewed Drinks in the UK and beyond.

But we're not just about soft drinks - our FUNKIN business unit operates in the exciting and growing cocktail market. The FUNKIN brand's mission is to democratise cocktails, providing innovative and unique purées, syrups and mixers, as well as ready to drink cocktails for behind the bar and at home.

Over recent years we have also entered new markets such as zero proof spirits and plant-based milk, taking equity stakes in small but high potential businesses - initially with the STRYKK brand and most recently through an equity stake in MOMA Foods Limited.
