Wolseley reports 22.9% hike in total Q1 revenue
Wolseley reports in an interim management statement that its total Q1 revenue rose 22.9% to £4.4m, from £3.6m. Its trading profit in the period rose 21.2% to £303,000, from £250,000.
Revenue from the US was up 30.5% to £2.9m, and other regions’ revenue was up 9.5% to £1.4m.
“US like-for-like revenue growth was 4.2% with commercial and residential markets continuing to grow well and industrial markets steadying,” said CEO John Martin in a statement.
“Good volume growth was partly offset by the ongoing impact of commodity price deflation which reduced the US revenue growth rate by 2.4%.
“Our other markets were more challenging as the UK heating market was weak and Nordic construction markets deteriorated.
“While revenue growth trends have improved slightly we continue to manage costs and productivity very carefully while continuing to drive customer service and strong cash conversion.”
