Trading Statement
CVS, the UK's leading provider of integrated veterinary services, is pleased to provide the following update on headline trading in respect of the financial half-year ended 31 December 2017 ("H1 2018").
In H1 2018, the Group's like-for-like sales(1) grew by 5.6% compared to the same period last year (after adjusting for one less trading day compared to the half year ended 31 December 2016).
The strong growth in sales of Animed Direct has continued. Excluding Animed Direct, like-for-like sales for the Group grew by 3.0%. This figure is a marked improvement on the figure observed at the time of the Group's November update for the 4 months to 31 October 2017, which reflected a particularly strong performance in the comparative period in 2016. The recovery primarily reflects stronger like-for-like trading in November and December.
Since the start of the current financial year on 1 July 2017, up to the date of this statement, the Group has made a total of 29 acquisitions of 30 surgeries bringing the total number of surgeries to 453. The total consideration for the above acquisitions was approximately GBP28m.
Acquisitions since the AGM update on 30 November 2017 are:
