Booker's sales rise on demand for non-tobacco products

Reuters - UK Focus

April 3 (Reuters) - Booker Group Plc (LSE: BOK.L - news) , Britain's largest cash-and-carry chain, said full-year total sales rose 17.3 percent as customers bought more of its non-tobacco products and it signed new customers in its wholesale division.

London-listed Booker, which supplies branded and private-label good to caterers, convenience stores, pubs and prisons, said on Thursday profit was in line with expectations for the full year ended March 28.

Total (NYSE: TOT - news) sales, including Makro, rose to 4.7 billion pounds ($7.82 billion), from 4 billion pounds a year earlier.

Booker's year-ago sales did not include Makro, the loss-making business acquired in 2012 from German retailer Metro (Berlin: MEO.BE - news) AG. ($1 = 0.6012 British Pounds) (Reporting by Esha Vaish in Bangalore; Editing by Joyjeet Das)
