Trading Update
Strong trading performance continues and results for the year
ending 31 December 2022 now expected to be ahead of market
expectations
Warpaint London plc (AIM: W7L), the specialist supplier of
colour cosmetics and owner of the W7 and Technic brands, is pleased
to announce an update on current trading ahead of the release of
the Company's interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2022
on 21 September 2022.
As outlined in the Company's 'AGM Statement', announced on 27
June 2022, the Group experienced strong trading in the first half
of 2022. The Company is pleased to report that this positive
momentum has continued since the end of the first half and
consequently the results for the year ending 31 December 2022 are
now expected to be ahead of market expectations.
Group sales for the year ending 31 December 2022 are now
expected to be at least GBP61 million, with the key pre-Christmas
sales period for the Group still to come. The Group's gross product
margin remains robust and continues to be at a level in excess of
that achieved in 2021. Adjusted profit before tax* for the year
ending 31 December 2022 is now expected to be in excess of GBP9
million.
In addition to the strong operating performance referred to
above, the Group expects to potentially further benefit from
favourable foreign exchange gains, through its existing hedging
arrangements, although the exact quantum will depend on the
prevailing exchange rates for the remainder of the year.
An update on the outlook for the remainder of 2022 will be
provided with the release of the interim results for the six months
ended 30 June 2022.
* Adjusted for exceptional costs, amortisation of intangible
assets and share based payments. Adjusted numbers are close to the
underlying performance of the business which is regularly monitored
and measured by management.
