Sports nutrition business Applied Nutrition is reporting a 24% rise in annual sales to £107m and predicts revenues ahead of expectations for the next 12 months.
On Tuesday the Liverpool city region venture, which sells its range of products both in the UK and across the world, offered a trading update on its performance in the 12 months to July 31, 2025.
Driven by strong second-half trading (approximately £60m of revenue), group revenue has shown a big improvement on the £86m reported for the previous year. Applied Nutrition says trading for the year to July 31, 2026, is also set to come in ahead of expectations.
Founded in 2014 by Kirkby-born Tom Ryder, in late October 2024 Applied Nutrition entered the London Stock Exchange in a £350m flotation. On late Tueaday afternoon the business was valued at more than £366m.
“We are proud to report that we have exceeded the guidance we gave at our IPO, with our first full-year results expected to come in ahead of market expectations,” said Tom.
“Our focus and ambition remain as strong as ever – in delivering for our shareholders, customers and team – and we are excited about the opportunities we have in the pipeline for the year ahead.”
