Trading Update

Shoe Zone is pleased to announce that since the publication of its trading update on 29 June 2022, trading has been stronger than expected due to higher than expected demand for summer products, particularly in the last two weeks. The Company has also continued to experience margin improvements as a result of good supply chain and cost management.

As a result, the Company now expects adjusted 1   profit before tax for FY 2022 to be not less than £9.5m.

1 Adjusted to exclude the profit on the sale of freehold property and foreign exchange revaluations
