Financial performance 1 April-31 May 2026

Comments on the financial performance 1 April-31 May 2026
- Market conditions have been characterised by geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty as a result of the war in the Middle East, which has had a negative impact on consumer sentiment and led to lower sales than expected.
- During the period, the Company has noted a negative impact from increased freight costs.
- The weakened consumer sentiment, increased freight costs and an uncertain currency situation are expected to continue to affect the Company's financial performance.
