10.15am: Joules tumbles with full-year loss expected

Shares in British clothing and homeware retailer Joules Group nosed dived 33% to 29p after warning it expects to report a full-year loss.

The group said trading had softened materially in the five weeks since its 19 July trading update, with the recent heatwaves affecting full-price sales of some of its core categories, such as knitwear and wellies.

As a result of promotions and subdued demand due to the cost-of-living crisis, sales were down 8% year-on-year in the first 11 weeks of its current financial year.

Retail margins were also down 6 percentage points year-on-year, reflecting “the shortfall of full price sales and the level of discounting”, although the company expects margins to partially recover during the release of the autumn/winter collection.
