Alex Baldock, Group Chief Executive

"I'm so grateful to my colleagues. Thanks to their dedication and adaptability in such a testing time, we've kept safely providing vital technology to the public, keeping millions of people connected, healthy, productive and entertained. And so we've continued to trade strongly, both in the UK and Internationally, while ensuring colleague and customer safety is paramount.

We're winning online, where we're the biggest and fastest-growing specialist technology retailer in all our markets. And even where stores have been closed, our work to bring the best of digital and physical shopping to every customer has borne fruit in such innovations as our 1-hour drive-thru Order & Collect and ShopLive. Our flexible infrastructure and accelerating transformation mean we've been able to react ever-faster to changing trading restrictions, while building more lasting and valuable customer relationships.

The outlook remains uncertain, and we're still far from our full potential. But this strong performance makes us more confident than ever that we're on the right path to create a world class business for colleagues, customers, shareholders and society. "

Outlook

At present there are enforced closures of large parts of our operations across the UK, Ireland and Denmark and there is no certainty on when these will end. The business has proven that it can deliver a strong trading performance irrespective of these restrictions, and despite current store closures we expect to deliver full year profits in line with market expectations. All medium-term guidance remains as previously announced.
