AGM Statement
John Lewis of Hungerford plc (AIM: JLH), the manufacturer,
designer and retailer of fitted kitchens, kitchen furniture and
bedroom furniture, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 2 pm
today at the Company's Head Office in Grove Technology Park,
Downsview Road, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12 9FA.
The Chairman, Gary O'Brien, will provide shareholders with the
following update:
"We are pleased to report that sales in the 5 months to date
have been in line with expectations. Sales for the half year, again
as expected, will be slightly behind the corresponding period last
year but that is with the closure of two underperforming stores.
Excluding the closed stores our continuing stores are showing a LFL
(like for like) sales growth of 2.3%.
With the reduced store base and the cost reduction activities
that we announced in our Annual Report and Accounts there will be
an improvement in the first half performance over last year,
although we are still anticipating a loss in line with our
expectations due to the seasonality of the business."
As the Company recently had a Shareholders Meeting, today's
meeting will be for the sole purpose of transacting the business
set out in the notice of the AGM.
