Tony Carter, Chairman of My Food Bag, says: "Despite the deteriorating economic environment, the first half of FY24 has been a successful period of transition as we stabilised demand and began to steadily grow active customer numbers. "We remain a profitable business with a strong brand and customer offer, and continue to proactively reduce costs, while also growing our offering to New Zealanders. "We continue to focus on debt reduction, capital management and rightsizing the business through the rest of the financial year. Against this backdrop, the board has decided not to declare an interim dividend. While the board intends to resume dividend payments with a final FY24 dividend, this is subject to both net debt position and financial performance across the remainder of FY24. "While we anticipate the current economic climate will remain for the foreseeable future, we are focused on driving our portfolio of brands, growing choice and flexibility, and increasing operational efficiencies to deliver value to shareholders," says Carter. During the first half of the year, My Food Bag strengthened its core meal kit offering and expanded its non-meal kit offerings, with the launch of one-off products such as The Butcher and Summer BBQ Box. This expansion was supported by new pick technology driving more choice and flexibility for customers, without increasing costs. My Food Bag CEO, Mark Winter, says: "During the first half of the year, we completed the roll out of Pick to Light in our Christchurch distribution centre, as well as consolidated our Auckland operation into one facility to further reduce overheads and deliver value for customers through improved quality performance and expansion of choice. "We also invested in a large-scale brand reset for the My Food Bag brand and launched a six-month price freeze for all Bargain Box products, backed by an integrated marketing campaign. "By leveraging Bargain Box's position as New Zealand's most affordable meal kit, we've increased delivery volumes for this brand by 12% year-on-year across H1. "Beyond this, we continue to execute our disciplined plan to keep driving the sustainable active customer growth we've experienced during the first half of the year and continue to innovate our offering beyond meal kit subscription services to focus on all meal solutions we can add value to," says Winter.
