Annual General Meeting Statement and Update on Trading
Focusrite plc (AIM: TUNE), the global music and audio products
company supplying hardware and software used by professional and
amateur musicians and the entertainment industry, will today hold
its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at the offices of Stephenson
Harwood LLP, 1 Finsbury Circus, London EC2M 7SH at 12 noon.
As previously advised, in light of the continuing
unpredictability of the COVID-19 pandemic and the spread of the
Omicron variant, shareholders have been strongly encouraged to not
attend the AGM in person.
At the AGM, Phil Dudderidge, Executive Chairman, will make the
following statement regarding current trading:
"During the first quarter of the current financial year, demand
has remained strong overall and revenues have been in-line with
management expectations, which take account of the strong
comparators in the first half of the prior year. Recent
acquisitions continue to settle in well, benefitting from being
part of the Group, and our numerous cross-business initiatives are
expected to have a positive effect in the latter part of FY22 and
into FY23.
"We are still experiencing supply constraints due to the global
shortage of components and tightness in supply chains. In addition,
freight and shipping costs remain significantly higher than normal.
Although these challenges remain unpredictable, not least because
of the Omicron variant, we are currently managing them in line with
our expectations. "
