Lucky that Deutsche bank note was positive. Hate to think what the share price would have done if negative. All retailers being tarred with the same brush. Dc. are not Next !

DC. won't be alone in having to pass on the effects of sterling weakness.

Terrific start to the two day boxing day this year. Have fun today and thank you for all the hard work...

Other reports say overall retail traffic down.

Can you imagine what would have happened if the results had been poor or even average!

In fairness he has prepared the market for the possibility of more challenging times ahead.

If correct next time he could then say something like "as we mentioned in our last update we were concerned about the outlook and this proved correct...."

He knows that nothing hits shares like an update that is below expectations and this may cause the city to be cautious about their profit forecasts.

All they said was things might get tougher and they are preparing for that eventuality. Hardly a revelation in the current environment.

Just topped up, under the circumstances it seems like a good move, regardless of the results they always were good value around this price.

apparently the forward looking statement is what spooked the market but really what else are they going to say!
I am not in but tempted by the large fall this morning.

Might be this line they don't like.

"we have been planning for the possibility of more uncertain times ahead"

Me too, but Dc. has a habit of doing this on results day. Not sure if its traders trying to shake weak hands and will recover later or they feel the good news is over and now to price in the uncertain future...

Excellent interim results.

LONDON (Alliance News) - Dixons Carphone PLC on Wednesday reported growth in profit in the first half of its financial year, as revenue grew across all divisions and it reiterated that it has not seen any lack in consumer demand following the UK's vote to leave the European Union.

The mobile phone and electronics retailer said pretax profit in the 26 weeks ended October 29 grew to GBP104 million from GBP78 million the year before, as revenue rose to GBP4.87 billion from GBP4.39 billion and like-for-like sales increased by 4%.

Geographically, revenue rose by 4% in the UK & Ireland, by 23% in the Nordics and by 20% in Southern Europe.

Dixons Carphone said its sterling results were boosted by the weakening of the pound against the euro and Norwegian krone following the UK's vote to leave the EU, with a strong performance from mobile phones, white goods and consumer electronics, offsetting decreased revenue in computing.

Dixons Carphone will pay an interim dividend of 3.5 pence, which is an 8% increase year-on-year.

"Looking forward, we remain optimistic about our ability to continue to gain market share in all our key markets, and, while we have still not seen any effect on consumer demand as a consequence of Brexit, we have been planning for the possibility of more uncertain times ahead," Chief Executive Seb James said in a statement.

"We are also planning our offer so that potential currency impacts are minimised for the customer, and are ensuring that next year, as always, everybody can be absolutely sure that they won't get a better deal anywhere else," he added.

“But when these expire it will have to make tricky decisions about whether to pass on rising import costs to customers in the shape of higher prices.”

They really do come out with some rubbish these people.

Dixons operate in an incredibly competitive environment the price they charge is dictated by the market.

When people buy a tv/laptop/white goods they check the "major players" prices first this is really simple now thanks to the net.

They can not simply pass on more expensive price to customers without a major impact on sales.

Put simply they charge as much as they can without losing sales.Its a little more complex because they will always have an amount of promoted products and non promoted products (which are often non competitive or on price establishment) which they do not expect or get anything like as many sales from.

If margins reduce because of currency they either have to accept lower margins or find other ways (cost cutting better deals from manufacturers more add on sales ect) or take the hit.They can not simply pass on the cost to customers with higher prices unless others do the same.

Having said all that I hear sales have been good particularly around the black Friday promotions.

From The Express.The electrical retailer, which publishes its interim results on Wednesday, imports the majority of its electrical goods from overseas, and a lower pound has made these items more expensive.George Salmon, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said this has hit hard: "Its shares are down around 15 per cent since the EU referendum, against gains of more than 10 per cent across the FTSE 100." Dixons Carphone is currently protected by currency hedges, he added: "But when these expire it will have to make tricky decisions about whether to pass on rising import costs to customers in the shape of higher prices."The firm has reported "no detectable" Brexit impact on electrical sales.It is expanding overseas so the weaker pound may boost revenues from its Nordic, southern European and US operations.Salmon said investors are looking for a strong Black Friday performance: "Healthy sales of products like the iPhone 7 and Fitbit would provide welcome momentum going into the all-important Christmas period."
