Fishing tackle and equipment retailer Angling Direct warned on profit in its new fiscal year amid coronavirus-led 'enforced' store closures.
As a result of enforced store closures, the company said it now expected a material reduction in fiscal 2021 revenue and profitability.
The downgraded outlook came as the company reported wider losses as adverse post-Christmas trading owing to exceptional flooding and wider margin pressure weighed on performance.
For the 12 months ended 31 January 2020, pre-tax losses widened to £1.48m from £392K on-year, while revenue was up 27% to £53.2m.
Online sales of £25.3m up by 14% with international sales up by 8%.
Store sales rose by 42% to £27.9m despite the impact of Covid-19 leading to the closure of 36 stores.
