Gear4Music (Holdings) Plc provided earnings guidance for the full year of 2017. As previously outlined, the current financial year is expected to follow a more typical seasonal trading pattern, with a higher proportion of sales and profits being generated during the second half of the year than was the case in the previous year. Also, as previously notified, the first half of the current financial year will include the costs of embedding new European distribution centres and setting up recently acquired Head Office in York. Based on the overall performance of the business during the financial year to date, the Board is confident of another year of good progress.
