Applied Nutrition has posted a trading update following the release of its half-year results last month, which saw revenue increase by 57 per cent to £74.5m.

The Group’s outlook remains unchanged despite the disruption to shipping routes and purchasing activities within the Middle East.

Applied Nutrition maintained its expectation for full-year revenue of approximately £140m in line with the trading update released on 17 February.

However, the business expects a decrease in volumes into the region during the second half due to current disruptions.

Additionally, the group experienced a better-than-expected peak trading period and increased demand for a number of H1 FY26 product launches, which are anticipated to bring in a more first-half weighted revenue profile.

Thomas Ryder, CEO of Applied Nutrition, said: “The performance and momentum across the business reflects a consumer environment that continues to shift decisively towards health, fitness and wellbeing.

“We have continued to execute against our strategic priorities in the period, with deeper engagement and expanded shelf space with existing customers; new customer wins and entry into new channels; and continued international rollout into new geographies, while further progressing the build-out of our D2C offering.

“Since our IPO, we have seen an uplift in our profile, awareness, trust and credibility – exactly as we had envisaged, but even more impactful than we could have anticipated.”
