Hotel Chocolat Group plc provided group earnings guidance for the 52-week period ended 26 June 2022. While the Board anticipates underlying fiscal year 2022 profit before tax will be in line with market consensus, statutory reported profit for fiscal year 2022 is expected to be a loss, being affected by the outcomes of an internal business review, predominantly as a result of non-cash impairment provisions and costs arising from discontinued activities including the closure of retail stores in the USA.
