Ian Pollard – Gear4Music #GFM rocking to the tune
Gear4music G4M Enjoyed strong growth during the four months to the 31st December with total sales up by 41%. Further sales growth in excess of expectations was constrained by the York distribution centre reaching maximum capacity during the peak trading period between Black Friday and Christmas. As a result full year EBITDA for 2019 is expected to be slightly below 2018 levels. UK sales during the four month rose by 36% and Europe and the Rest of The World by 47%. The total 41% sales rise shows a further gain over the 36% rise shown in the first half

Walker Greenbank Hikes Interim Dividend by 25.5%
Walker Greenbank WGB benefited from three factors which helped sales to increase by 29% in the half year to the 31st July, enabling the interim dividend to be increased by 25.5%. The first was a strong contribution from Clarke & Clarke, acquired in October 2016 and which produced sales of £10.3m out of a total of £54 million. The second was a 17.9% increase in licensing income and the third was a strong export performance which helped to offset a weaker UK. Despite this, statutory operating profit fell by some 10% due to acquisition costs but underlying operating profit rose by 52.8% and adjusted earnings per share by 39.4%.
