Pre-Close Trading Update
Headlam Group plc (LSE: HEAD), Europe's largest distributor of floorcoverings, is pleased to provide a pre-close trading update ahead of announcing its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 on Monday, 21 August 2017.
Total revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2017 increased by 4.0% to GBP341.9 million compared with the same period in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, total revenue increased by 2.6% to GBP337.2 million with both the UK and Continental Europe delivering growth, and total revenue for each of the residential and commercial sectors also showing a positive performance.
The UK accounted for 85.9% of total revenue (87.0% in constant currency) with like-for-like revenue* growth of 2.1% reflecting a positive performance from both the residential and commercial sectors, up 2.8% and 0.5% respectively.
Continental Europe, which accounted for 14.1% of total revenue (13.0% in constant currency), showed like-for-like revenue* growth of 3.0%. The residential sector delivered strong growth of 6.7% whilst the commercial sector declined by 0.5% as the positive performance from both the Dutch and French businesses was offset by the Swiss business.
Gross margin across the Company improved by 103 basis points to 31.06% compared with the same period in the prior year predominately as a consequence of the focus on more effective organisation and streamlining of the Company's businesses' practices.
The Company continues to trade in-line with the Board's expectations for the full year.
Further to the Company's announcement of 11 May 2017, the Company is pleased to confirm that Chris Payne will join the Company as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director on 13 September 2017.
