DFS Furniture تؤكد إرشاداتها السنوية للأداء، رغم مواجهتها عوامل سلبية مؤخراً

Investing.com – DFS Furniture plc (LON:DFS) maintains its full-year profit guidance of £43 million to £50 million, despite reporting a slowdown in customer traffic since the end of the half-year due to adverse weather conditions.

The furniture retailer reported revenue of £547.7 million for the first half, an 8.6% increase compared to the same period last year, with pre-tax profit rising 82% to £31 million, in line with its latest update released in January.

Order volumes during the period increased by 2.3%, with gross margin expanding by 110 basis points to 57.8%. Net financial debt stood at £61 million, lower than the £117 million in the first half of fiscal 2025.

The company announced an interim dividend of 1.0 penny per share, compared to zero in the same period last year.

DFS noted that consumer confidence remains in a delicate balance and warned that recent geopolitical events could disrupt supply chains, although no such impact has been observed so far.

The company’s full-year guidance assumes no significant supply chain disruptions.
