Jessops reported a solid first half performance with total sales up 10.4% and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rising 15.2%.

The company said total sales were 178m, up from 161m in the same period last year, while like-for-like sales rose 2.3%. Direct like-for-like sales from the internet and mail order jumped 51.9%.

Jessops said EBIT rose to 6.5m while pretax profit excluding one-off costs were up 52% at 5.1m from 3.3m last year. The company proposed an interim dividend of 0.75p per share, up 7.1% on last time.

The company said current trading is in line with expectations and despite an expected tough retail environment, it believes Jessops is on track to meet its expectations for the year.

They had better close their high st retail operation if they want to see more growth.

Wrong thread.
