Ted Baker Plc
("Ted Baker" or the "Group")
Trading Update
For the 19 week period from 31 January 2016 to 11 June 2016
The Group remains on track to meet the Board's expectations for
the Full Year
Ted Baker, the global lifestyle brand, is pleased to announce an
11.3% increase in Group revenue for the 19 week period from 31
January 2016 to 11 June 2016 (the "period"), compared to the same
period last year.
Retail sales for the period increased by 12.7% (10.3% in
constant currency) and average retail square footage rose by 9.7%
to 379,254 sq.ft. (2015: 345,839 sq.ft.). This good performance was
achieved in the context of challenging external trading conditions,
and is a reflection of the strength of the brand and the Group's
business model. Our international expansion has continued with
successful store openings in Beijing, Ottawa and Seattle, and
further concession openings in premium department stores in China,
France, Germany, Japan and Spain.
Our e-commerce business has continued to perform well with sales
increasing 32.3%, reflecting continued growth across our e-commerce
sites. During the period, we launched our first language specific
website in Germany and have been very pleased with its performance
at this early stage.
Wholesale sales for the period increased by 7.3% (5.6% in
constant currency). Our North American wholesale business enjoyed a
strong start to the season and continues to perform well. The
performance of the UK wholesale business was impacted by the timing
of some deliveries, as previously indicated, but we continue to
anticipate achieving low double digit growth in the wholesale
business for the full year.
Both retail and wholesale gross margins were in line with our
expectations.
Our product and territorial licences continue to perform well
with new licensed store openings in Azerbaijan, Egypt, Mexico and
Taiwan.
We continue to invest in our people and infrastructure to
support the long term development of the Ted Baker brand globally.
The on-going implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX business
systems across the Group has continued in line with our plans and
the development of our new state-of-the-art European Distribution
Centre is progressing well.
The Group remains on track to meet the Board's expectations for
the full year and we intend to announce our interim results for the
28 weeks ending 13 August 2016 on 11 October 2016.
Commenting on trading, Ray Kelvin CBE, Founder and Chief
Executive said:
"These results demonstrate the strengths of the brand.
Underpinned by our unwavering focus and passion across all of our
products and distribution channels, the talent and dedication of
our global teams continue to execute our multi-channel growth
strategy. We are very pleased with the response from our customers
over this period and remain well positioned to deliver our
expectations for the full year."
