there was no IMS last year in Oct

[cockneyrebel] 30/9/2014 09:25

The interims are Nov 6th but they have an Interim Management Statement before then - end of this week or the beginning of next week if the same as last year as it usually is.

Warm weather has been hitting the clothing retailers - but good for bike sales I'd have thought.

All imo/dyor etc.

3.7% yield for the year ahead.

Those are the consensus forecasts in the previous posts by the way.

Interims 6th November

[quilarvium] 29/9/2014 08:50

When do halfords announce the next set of results CR?What's your prediction on LFL growth for the quarter just gon.They were really up against some tough figures based on cycling ?I'm hoping for a 3-4% LFL if its good but it needs to be not under 2%, I realise the last quarter has inducted slowdowns in many sectors let's hope halfords have weathered the storm brewing in this current climate.

[cockneyrebel] 24/9/2014 13:02

Artemis goes from 10% to 11%+

CR

[cockneyrebel] 23/9/2014 15:20

Gone positive.

MT I think you have got it wrong about CR.He's a fair guy, and foes not mind if someone disagrees with him from time to time.More right calls than wrong calls from what I can recall

Is the cycling bourgeoisie ready for a new republic? Halfords thinks so



Outlook: Launched in 2008, Cycle Republic was actually Halfords’ second standalone bike brand alongside BikeHut.

[cockneyrebel] 19/9/2014 17:01

Sorry - you're right - meant to put early Nov and trading update as in interims but all a bit manic today and forgot where I was at :-)

Time for a Glenfiddich to toast the Scots :-)

CR

[wynmck] 19/9/2014 16:15

[rathlindri] 19/9/2014 16:05

A damn good week for all holders here, and results to look forward to in early November too

[cockneyrebel] 19/9/2014 15:33

Quite a rally ah Kendo?

More to come imo, t/s early Oct attracting buyers imo.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 19/9/2014 13:49

A 3.6% yield for the yr ahead too Kendo - a lot of divi hunters out there.

All imo/dyor

CR

[cockneyrebel] 19/9/2014 09:26

Take a look at the previous trading update Kendo - there's momentum there imo:

"Key Points For The Quarter
-- Cycling: strong growth in all areas with Premium Bike sales increasing by 35.1%
-- Car Maintenance: a good Workshop performance offset by a tough comparative in parts sales
-- Car Enhancement: Car Cleaning sales up 16.2% mitigating declines in both Sat Nav and Audio
-- Travel Solutions: compelling offers in roof boxes and roof bars resonated well with customers
-- Online Retail: sales up 13.1% driven by a strong performance in Cycling
-- Autocentres: positive momentum continued with new management focusing on the customer experience
Financial Position and Outlook
The Group's financial position remains sound. All guidance for the full year remains unchanged.
Matt Davies, Chief Executive, commented:
"Halfords continued to drive top-line growth in the quarter, with the Cycling category delivering another exceptional performance. Our actions resulted in growth across all elements of Cycling reflecting our continued focus in the category, enhanced by favourable weather and increased interest in the Tour de France. Against a challenging comparative, Car Maintenance sales were satisfactory whilst significant levels of clearance in Car Enhancement in the prior year comparative were negated by our continued success in Car Cleaning. Our customer-centric approach delivered further growth in Travel Solutions.
The acquisition of Boardman Bikes and the launch of Car Parts Direct had a negligible effect on the sales performance but are illustrations of our intent to grow our authority in Cycling and Auto. Getting Into Gear continues to progress within Retail, whilst Autocentres will deliver an improved experience for motorists."
