Christmas Trading update
Crawshaw Group plc ("Crawshaw" or the "Company"), the meat
focussed retailer, provides the following update on current
trading.
Trading for the 9 weeks to 28(th) December was in line with
management expectations. Like for like sales for the period were
down 3%, but the Company had budgeted for this small decrease given
that sales for the comparable period last year were particularly
strong, rising by 21%. Gross margin in the period has showed a
further improvement of 1% over the prior year and therefore the
Company's cash margin has increased year on year.
Year to date like for like sales are up 6%.
We anticipate that the Company's full year profit and cash
generation will be in line with expectations.
Richard Rose, Chairman, commented: "Our customers continue to
appreciate our quality and value and so customer satisfaction
remains high. Our new factory shop has got off to a great start and
is trading above expectation giving us much confidence as we plan
our accelerated store opening program.
