Kingfisher reports a 1.1% sales drop, citing budget uncertainties, despite Screwfix's 4.6% sales growth.
Kingfisher, parent company of B&Q and Screwfix, reported a 1.1% drop in third-quarter sales, citing weak consumer demand in the UK and France due to budget uncertainties.
The company now expects annual pre-tax profits between £510m and £540m, down from £510m to £550m, due to increased employer national insurance costs and a £14m hit from French tax changes.
Despite these challenges, Screwfix sales grew by 4.6%, and the company remains focused on strategic priorities and cost management.
