Moss Bros warns on profits

The suit and tailoring retailer has warned that volatile sales patterns will weigh on full-year profits
January 10, 2018

It wasn’t a very Merry Christmas for suit retailer Moss Bros (MOSB). The group said recent “volatile” trading patterns saw in-store like-for-like sales rise 1.2 per cent between August and November, only to crash 8 per cent between December and early January.

This has put more pressure on gross margins than previously expected and will result in worse-than-predicted full-year results when the company reports at the end of March.
