Portmeirion Group PLC
(the "Company" and the "Group")
AGM Statement
At the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held today at 12.00 noon, the Non-Executive
Chairman, Dick Steele, will make the following statement:
"Total Group sales are up 15% for the four months ended 30 April 2018 relative to the same period last year, driven by strong growth in both ceramic and home fragrance product divisions. On a constant currency basis total Group sales are 20% ahead of last year. We are delighted with the start to the year, however due to the seasonal nature of our business and the importance of second half trading we continue to expect full year profit before tax to be in line with market expectations."
