Fourth Quarter - Retail

In this fourth quarter we expect Primark sales to be around 15% higher than in the same period in the previous financial year, with like-for-like sales growth in the quarter of around 8%.

In the UK sales for the fourth quarter are expected to be up 8% with like-for-like sales expected to be up 7%. In this quarter, we saw unusually variable and unseasonable weather especially in July, then in the first half of August, and again in more recent weeks, all of which impacted transactions and footfall. Despite these conditions, our performance was resilient. Our share of the UK market increased to 6.4% from 6.2%1 for the 12 weeks to 20 August.

In Europe excluding the UK, sales for the fourth quarter are expected to be 18% higher with like-for-like sales expected to be up 9%. Similar to the UK, the business traded well despite challenging weather with especially hot conditions in several regions across Europe.

In the US sales are expected to be 45% higher in the fourth quarter driven by the strong programme of new store openings. We opened four new stores in the quarter.
