Trading update
International Greetings PLC ('International Greetings' or the 'Company'), the
designer, manufacturer and distributor of greetings, stationery and licensed
published products, today announces an update on current trading.
As indicated in the previous trading statement issued by the Company on
23 August 2007, the UK retail climate remains extremely tough. Following a
preliminary assessment of trading in the key September to October period for
the Company, the Board of International Greetings now believes that the results
for the year to 31 March 2008 for the Company as a whole will fall materially
short of current market expectations. This is mainly due to continuing
difficulties with revenues and margins in the Company's UK greetings division.
The growing overseas operations, however, are continuing to perform in line
with our expectations.
The Company will be announcing its interim results for the six month period to
30 September 2007 on 13 December 2007, which will include a further update on
current trading, future prospects and other initiatives.
