WH Smith reports lower profits due to accounting errors, leading to CEO resignation and brand changes.
WH Smith will release its delayed annual results on December 19, reporting pre-tax profits of £100 million to £110 million, down from £171 million the previous year, due to accounting errors that overstated North American profits by up to £50 million.
The misstatements led to the CEO’s resignation, a 40% share price drop, and multiple postponements of the results, with auditor PwC needing extra time to complete procedures.
The company, now focused solely on travel stores after selling its UK high street locations to Modella Capital, is phasing out the WH Smith brand in Britain, replacing it with TGJones.
