Here are the key takeaways from Tate & Lyle’s conference call:

• Tate & Lyle said the CP Kelco integration is complete and has been delivered without disruption to customers, with management now focused on volume-led top-line growth.
• Full-year results were in line with revised guidance, but still reflected a tough demand backdrop: adjusted EBITDA fell 3% to GBP 415 million and revenue declined 3% on a pro forma basis.
• Management highlighted weaker performance in Europe and Latin America, especially from bulk sweeteners and lower sweetener volumes, while tariffs and softer market demand continued to weigh on growth.
• The company reported strong progress on its strategic actions, including GBP 24 million of CP Kelco cost synergies, GBP 53 million of productivity savings, and a new revenue-synergy pipeline that has more than doubled to over $100 million.
• Management sees early signs that the combined business is creating customer wins, citing traction in mouthfeel, clean label, and fiber fortification; for FY2027 it expects modest revenue growth and broadly flat EBITDA before the bio-gums timing impact.
