Lewis Group Limited announced sales results for the third quarter and nine months ended Dec. 31, 2017. Merchandise sales for the quarter were 9.8% higher than the corresponding period. Comparable stores sales grew by 13.3% for the quarter. Revenue increased by 0.7% for the quarter, showing an improvement on the decline of 3.2% recorded for the six months ended September 2017. Revenue for the nine months declined by 1.7%, mainly as a result of the 9.6% reduction in Other Revenue. This decline in Other Revenue annuity streams is largely due to lower credit sales in prior years, compounded by the implementation of the prescribed maximum credit life insurance rates in August 2017. Merchandise sales growth was 7.0% for the nine months ended 31 December 2017. Comparable stores sales grew by 9.8% for the nine months.
