Cambria Automobiles plc announced sales results for the first four months of the fiscal year 2016. Trading in the first four months of the financial year has been substantially ahead of the corresponding period in 2014/15 on both a total and a like-for-like basis. New vehicle unit sales were up 4.0% (like-for-like down 1.2%), with gross profit per retail unit improving. Used vehicle sales also performed well, with unit sales 4.7% (like-for-like 2.9%) ahead of the same period in the prior year and gross profit per unit continuing to increase. This performance has significantly enhanced the profit derived from the used car segment of the business. Growth in the Group's aftersales operations has also continued, with profitability up by 3.1% (like-for-like in line) year-on-year.

The Board expects Cambria's Interim Results for the six months to 28 February 2016 to be significantly ahead of the corresponding period of 2014/15 and views the outlook for the remainder of the financial year with confidence.
