EPS has been flat for the last 2 years my feeling is that is because the average weekly sales for the franchisees has been flat for the same time span .
THe dividend increase this year does not change the fundamentals apart from having a negative effect on gearing I feel
Still I thought the results would have been worse given the retail market however as some commentators have said there has been a substituition effect happening with diners changing to lower cost meals which is what RFG outlets specialise in
I would think some franchisees will be concerned with the lack of transparency with the coffee roasting business which franchisees are obliged to purchase coffee from.
RFG does have a well run business plan although there are a few chinks in its armour.
