LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Halfords Group plc (HFD.L) reported a decline of 0.1% in group like-for-like sales for the first half of fiscal year 2025. This decline is compared to the strong performance of the prior year, where like-for-like sales increased by 8.3%.
The company said that it is on track to deliver 30 million pounds in targeted full-year savings. The savings aim to mitigate approximately 35 million pounds in expected inflation.
