JD Wetherspoon plc (‘JD Wetherspoon’ or the ‘Company’) announces its Interim Management Statement for the period up to 1 May 2012, as required by the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Current trading
For the 13 weeks to 22 April 2012, like-for-like sales increased by 2.0%. Total Company sales, over the same period, increased by 8.4%. In the year to date (39 weeks to 22 April 2012), like-for-like sales increased by 2.0%, and overall Company sales increased by 8.4%.
The operating margin before exceptionals, in the 13 weeks to 22 April 2012, was 8.1%, compared with 9.3% in the first half of the current financial year, and the year-to-date (39 weeks to 22 April 2012) operating margin before exceptionals was 8.9%. We expect to see the operating margin before exceptionals improve in the final quarter as compared with the third quarter, although we continue to expect the operating margin before exceptionals for the second half of this financial year as a whole to decline, compared with that achieved in the first half.
