MBPFF, trading on the OTC exchange, recently reported its earnings, achieving an EPS of $0.1655, slightly above the estimated $0.1653. The company's revenue was approximately $1.69 billion, surpassing the estimated figure. This performance reflects a positive financial standing, as indicated by its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.29, suggesting a low valuation relative to its earnings.
Mitchells & Butlers PLC (LSE:MAB), experienced an 11% increase in its share price, reaching 284p, after releasing its full-year results. The company, known for brands like All Bar One and Toby Carvery, reported a 6% increase in adjusted EBIT to £330 million, slightly above consensus estimates. This robust performance was highlighted by Jefferies, especially during a typically uncertain Budget period.
The company also reported a 17% rise in adjusted profit before tax to £246 million, exceeding expectations by about 4%. Revenue grew by 4% to £2.7 billion. In the first eight weeks of the new financial year, like-for-like sales increased by 3.8%, compared to a 3.1% rise in the final quarter of 2025. This positive start, along with favorable broker commentary, alleviated concerns about consumer resilience as winter approaches.
Mitchells & Butlers' operating profit reached £330 million, surpassing expectations by £5 million. Earnings per share rose by approximately 17% to 31p, slightly exceeding forecasts. Despite challenges from last year's budget-driven cost increases, the company maintained a steady performance. The cost outlook remains stable, with an estimated £130 million in additional cost inflation for the year, equating to around 6%.
MBPFF's financial metrics, such as a price-to-sales ratio of 0.58 and an enterprise value to sales ratio of 1.08, suggest modest market valuation. The enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio of 7.37 indicates efficient conversion of operating cash flow into enterprise value. However, a current ratio of 0.51 may suggest potential liquidity concerns, as it is below the standard threshold of 1.
