Lewis Group's June revenue up 4.7% y/y

The Lewis Group says trading for the quarter ended June had remained challenging‚ with continued uncertainty in the labour market and rising unemployment, fuelling a cautious outlook among consumers in the group's target market.
Lewis Group's June revenue up 4.7% y/y

Addressing the group's annual general meeting‚ chief executive Johan Enslin told shareholders that sales growth for the period was in line with 2012‚ while revenue was 4.7% higher because of increased financial services income from higher levels of credit sales and longer-dated contracts.

"The credit collection environment has become increasingly tough and the productivity of credit staff at stores remains a key focus‚" he said.

"Debtor costs for the period totalled R156.6m‚ which amounts to 2.7% of net debtors. This percentage is in line with the corresponding period last year‚" he said.

Management expects current trading conditions to continue for the remainder of the financial year.
