McBride plc reported revenue results for the six months ended 31 December 2019. The Group's first half Household revenues at constant currency were 1.4% lower compared to the prior year. UK revenues were 8.0% lower year on year, reflecting weaker Private Label activity in the period. The company's South, East and Asian geographies performed well in the half year, reporting growth versus the prior year of 15.7%, 1.6% and 10.7% respectively. France and North continued to see declines versus the prior year (6.8% and 3.7% respectively), consistent with the second half of the last financial year.

Reflecting the first half performance, the company's expectations for the rest of the year are reduced and now expect full year Household revenues to decline by approximately 2% year on year.
