Associated British Foods (AB Foods) warned of a larger adjusted operating loss of £25-60 million in its sugar division due to lower European sugar prices, higher gas costs from Middle East conflicts, and uncertainty in Africa. Primark's like-for-like sales fell 2.2% in the 16 weeks to June 20, with declines in continental Europe but growth in the US and flat sales in the UK. Despite challenges, total group revenue rose 3% to £5.3 billion, and the company confirmed the planned demerger of Primark from its food business remains on track for completion before the end of 2027. CEO George Weston described Primark's performance as resilient amid a tough retail environment, supported by new product launches, pricing focus, and marketing investments.
