SEGMENT description<br />
Our International businesses predominantly<br />
supply private label products to major grocery<br />
retailers and global foodservice operators.<br />
Facilities<br />

3,950 people.<br />

Sales performance<br />
Revenue derived from the International<br />
business segment represented £287.2 million<br />
or 17% of Group revenue, equating to a<br />
1% decrease on statutory revenues on the<br />
previous year and a 5.1% increase in likefor-like<br />
revenues. This increase was primarily<br />
driven by <strong>our</strong> North American and Asian<br />
businesses as these regions continued to<br />
build strong customer relationships. Our Italian<br />
pizza business also achieved strong sales<br />
growth driven by business wins.<br />
Adjusted EBITDA performance<br />
Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment<br />
was £10.9 million, compared with £7.1 million<br />
in 2011, an increase of £3.8 million or 53.5%.<br />
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 140<br />
basis points to 3.8% in 2012. Our International<br />
segment continues to benefit from investment<br />
in relationships and growing sales. Our Italian<br />
business continues to win new contracts<br />
and <strong>our</strong> Asian business is benefiting from a<br />
continuing capital investment programme<br />
that has enabled it to grow capacity to meet<br />
customer demand and deliver efficiencies.<br />
Key innovations and achievements in 2012<br />
Our focus on innovation in 2012 continued in<br />
<strong>our</strong> International businesses as we worked with<br />
<strong>our</strong> key retailers and foodservice operators to<br />
support their extensive growth plans.<br />
We launched a range of breakfast products<br />
with a key foodservice customer in Asia as<br />
well as a number of bakery and desserts lines<br />
in North America.<br />
Our continuous commitment to customer<br />
service was recognised through two supplier<br />
awards in the USA and China.<br />
