Churchill China plc (LSE:CHH) has issued a trading update reflecting ongoing difficulties in global hospitality markets, particularly in export-driven regions. While sales remain solid in the UK and the United States, demand in Europe—especially Germany—has softened considerably. In response, the company has scaled back production to align with current demand levels, a move that has negatively impacted factory efficiency and profit margins.
To counter these headwinds, Churchill is investing in capital projects aimed at enhancing operational flexibility and reducing costs. The company is also fast-tracking new product launches in a bid to stimulate growth and better adapt to evolving market needs. Despite these efforts, full-year revenue and profit are expected to fall well short of last year’s performance. Nonetheless, Churchill remains confident in the medium-term recovery of its core markets and continues to see strong long-term potential in its business model.
