AG Barr, the firm behind Irn Bru, is expecting its full-year revenue to shoot up 5% to reach £420million.

The drinks giant, which also makes Rubicon and Boost, announced the uplift in revenue forecast following strong sales of its key brands.

As a result, The Times reports, AG Barr predicts its turnover for the 12 months up to January 25 will be around £420million - up £20million on the previous 12 months.

Analysts also raised their pre-tax profit predictions by around £1million - to £58million - with margins improving from 12.3% to 13.5%

Chief executive Euan Sutherland said the figures represent “excellent progress" towards its "long-term financial goals”.

He added: “We have sustained brand momentum despite the well-trailed wider market pressures, and continue to make good progress towards our margin target.”
