Printing.com plc (the "Company")
Trading update
Post the Company's last update on 10 November 2009, trading continued at anticipated levels throughout November and December 2009, albeit trading conditions remained challenging and monthly offers and the like continued to be a greater part of the sales mix than in previous years.
The severe weather at the beginning of January caused the greatest disruption to the Printing.com network since the inception of the Company. Throughout the network, most outlets encountered some periods where they were unable to open for normal trade. February trading has returned to anticipated levels.
Notwithstanding the disruption, assuming sales continue in line with the Company's internal budgets, the results for the fiscal year are expected to be broadly in line with market expectations.
The Company intends to provide a "pre-close" trading statement at 7.00 am on Monday 5 April 2010.
