TRADING UPDATE

 

Fever-Tree, the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers,
announces a trading update ahead of its Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), which
is being held today at 11am BST.

The brand has continued to drive market share gains across its regions and
deliver topline growth in the year to date. We look forward to our key summer
trading period, which will include a range of marketing initiatives and
activations, and remain comfortable with full year expectations.

·    In the UK, Fever-Tree has strengthened its category leading
position( 1  (#_ftn1) ), driven by the performance of our broad portfolio,
including our innovation which caters to the growth of Rum, Vodka and other
spirit categories, as well as our cocktail mixers, which are gaining
popularity, led by our Mojito and Margarita serves.

·    In the US, Fever-Tree continues to be the biggest contributor to
growth within the carbonated mixer category at retail and we have extended our
number one position in the Tonic and Ginger Beer categories( 2  (#_ftn2) ).

·    In Europe, we are seeing good underlying momentum, notably in Italy,
France and Denmark. The brand continues to grow ahead of the mixer category,
with Ginger Beer performing well and Pink Grapefruit gaining good traction as
we expand the portfolio to cater to popular serves, such as the Paloma.

·    In the ROW region, the Group expects to deliver strong growth in FY24
following the set-up of our new subsidiary model in Australia.
