Book2Book Thursday 15 Oct 2015

WH Smith PLC on Thursday reported a rise in pretax profit in its recently-ended financial year, boosted by strong sales in its travel division, and it said its struggling high street business also picked up in the second half.
The books and stationery retailer reported an 8% rise in pretax profit in the year ended August 31 to GBP121 million from GBP112 million the year before, as revenue grew 1% to GBP1.18 billion from GBP1.16 billion but like-for-like sales remained flat.
