British electrical retailer Currys booked a double-digit rise in adjusted pretax profit in its fiscal year, and launched a new share buyback program.
The company said adjusted pretax profit, which strips out exceptional and one-off items, rose 18% to 191 million pounds ($253.6 million) for the fiscal year ending May 2.
Analysts had expected adjusted pretax profit of 188 million pounds, according to company-compiled consensus.
The retailer also started a new 50 million pound share buyback, it said.
Currys said group like-for-like sales growth for the U.K. and Ireland, and Nordics regions was positive. The U.K. and Ireland business had good growth despite subdued consumer spending, it said. Meanwhile, the consumer environment improved in the Nordics, supported by easing inflation.
Group revenue grew by 6% on a reported basis to 9.25 billion pounds.
