    Dixons Retail plc Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14 Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14 www.dixonsretail.com @DixonsRetail Dixons Retail plc Maylands Avenue Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire HP2 7TG United Kingdom Tel: 0344 800 2030 www.dixonsretail.com “This has been a great year for the Group with some excellent performances across our multi-channel businesses, together with the achievement of a number of important strategic objectives. Our profits are up 76% from those we reported a year ago and up 10% on a restated basis. This not only reflects the fact we have now exited all of our non-core markets, meaning we are now a leader in all our core markets, but is also a testament to the creativity and hard work of our teams. The Group is in robust financial health with further cash generation resulting in a strong net cash position even after the costs incurred in exiting the non-core businesses. Best of all, our customer service metrics have again reached new records. All of this all means that the Group is stronger – both commercially and financially – than it has been for a number of years and we are well positioned to set sail into new waters. I am very excited about the opportunities that the proposed merger with Carphone Warehouse offers for the Group. We will build what I hope will be the first and best truly multi-channel proposition that allows customers not only to buy and experience the explosion of new connected products that are emerging, but to also get the advice, connectivity and services that will allow them to use technology as it should be used – to make their lives better.

  • Pre-Close Trading Update
    28 April 2021 Pre-close Trading Update Trading update Since January, trading has remained strong. Group Electricals sales growth continued the positive performance seen over the Peak trading period, despite the extended closure of most stores in UK&I and increased restrictions on trading in the Nordics. Like-for-like revenue growth 25 weeks to 24 April 51 Weeks to 24 April UK & Ireland Electricals +11% +13% International +14% +16% - Nordics +15% +17% - Greece +7% +9% Group Electricals +12% +14% Very strong online growth has continued in all markets with Group Electricals online sales more than doubling to over £4.5bn for the year. Given the strong financial position, the Group has reimbursed all government support for the £73m of furlough paid to UK&I colleagues during the year. After the cost of repaying government support, we expect full year adjusted PBT to be broadly in line with current consensus of £151m1. Business update • Dixons Travel – We do not expect passenger numbers to recover sufficiently to compensate for the removal of airside tax-free shopping by the UK Government from 1 January. This has led to the difficult decision to close this business, which historically made an annual profit contribution of over £20m. • Carphone Warehouse Ireland – As announced earlier this month, and as part of our Mobile transformation, the Carphone Warehouse stores in Republic of Ireland have closed. Balance sheet update • Network debtor receivable – EE has paid the outstanding network receivable of £189m. The majority of this payment was previously expected over the course of 2021/22 and 2022/23.

We are seeing the upside of these efforts now as we declare record headline profits before tax of over half a billion pounds – up 10%. More importantly, the improvement in our cost base, the strong leadership position that we have built, the investment that we have made in our digital business and, above all, the enormous shift in customer satisfaction and price competitiveness that we have driven leave us well positioned to flourish in the years ahead. While the UK consumer environment seems to be holding up for us, there will undoubtedly continue to be changes in the way people buy all of the products that we sell from phones to washing machines. Change always represents opportunity, and our job is to find the propositions that keep us compelling to our customers forever. We are excited about our plans in services and about the myriad of initiatives that will drive long- term relationships with our customers. In short, it has been a good year for Dixons Carphone and it gives me great pleasure once again to thank my 43,000 colleagues for the work that they have done to deliver so well and so energetically for our customers.” Sebastian James Group Chief Executive 27 June 2017 Cautionary statement Designed and printed by Black&Callow Certain statements made in this Annual Report and Accounts are forward looking.
