The Aim-listed business, which funds production costs for independent winemakers, said it intended to repurchase ordinary shares at a fixed price of 80p per share through a tender offer, for an approximate aggregate value of between £2m and £5.7m.
The final amount returned to shareholders will be confirmed once Naked’s peak pre-Christmas trading period, which has the greatest significant for full-year results, is taken into account.
The offer – which Naked said was the most effective way of returning surplus capital to shareholders, in line with its capital allocation framework – was announced alongside an update on interim trading. Naked confirmed its first-half performance had been in line with full-year guidance, including progressive growth in underlying earnings and continued cash generation, despite an expected dip in revenues.
It continued: “The first half delivered continued progress on the execution of our strategy to build a better and more profitable business. While customer acquisition volumes remain low, the members we are acquiring are of higher quality.”
The group – which will publish interim results on 11 December – is currently forecasting annual revenues of between £158m and £175m, and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and inventory liquidation of £7.6m to £9m.
As at 1130 GMT, the stock had surged 16% at 72.80p.
