Shoe Zone Plc provided earnings guidance for the 52 week period to 29 September 2018. The Group reported that it has traded well in the second half of the year and expects to report revenues for the 52 week period of approximately £161 million (2017: £157.8 million), growth of 1.8%.  This improvement is due to strong performance across the business, with both physical (Big Box and traditional Shoe Zone stores) and digital channels demonstrating growth allied with the completion of the loss-making store rationalisation programme. The Board now expects to report a full year Profit before Tax for the year ahead of market expectations and in excess of £11.0 million. This improvement is driven by a stronger revenue and margin performance from the spring/summer ranges as well as benefiting from progress achieved through the further development of the Group's foreign exchange hedging policy.
