(the "Group")

H1 FY26 Trading Update

Applied Nutrition plc, a leading sports nutrition, health and wellness brand, today announces an update on trading for the six months ended 31 January 2026 ("H1 FY26").

H1 FY26¹ Trading Update

The Group delivered a very strong performance in the first half of the financial year, generating revenue of £74.5 million, an increase of 57% on H1 FY25 (£47.6 million). EBITDA for the period was also ahead of management expectations.

As noted in the December Trading Update, the Group entered the January peak Health, Fitness & Wellbeing period with retail orders and resultant customer stock levels, significantly above expectations. This is a consequence of the success of its channel diversification across UK high street health retailers, grocers and discounters.  Together with accelerated demand for a number of H1 FY26 product launches, this is expected to result in a more H1‑weighted revenue profile than in prior years.

FY26 Outlook²
Reflecting the strong first‑half performance, the Group now anticipates that FY26 results will be ahead of updated market consensus expectations³.  Management currently expects full‑year revenue of approximately £140 million.

The Group will announce its Interim Results for the six months ended 31 January 2026 on 23 March 2026.
