LONDON (ShareCast) - Whitbread's Managing Director, Patrick Dempsey, has sold 12,341 shares in the company after 26,210 shares vested under an incentive scheme.
The shares were sold for 2,616.05p each for a total of £322,847.
The transaction was made in the same week Whitbread recorded a double digit increase in annual revenue, profit and dividend, following a strong performance from its Premier Inn and Costa brands, despite adverse weather conditions.
Underlying pre-tax profit rose 11.4% to £356.5m in the year to February 28th 2013. Total revenue for the year rose 14.2% to £2.03bn.
Group like-for-like (LFL) sales were up 3.7%, below Investec's 4.2% estimate after underperformance in the fourth quarter.
The company also said that trading in the first few weeks of the new financial year has been in line with expectations and Premier Inn has maintained its positive momentum.
