British retailer WH Smith's sales rise 2 pct in 15 weeks to June 10

Reuters - UK Focus

June 14 (Reuters) - British books and stationery retailer WH Smith Plc said its sales rose 2 percent in the 15 weeks to June 10 as a strong performance at outlets at transport hubs outshone weakness in its high street operations.

WH Smith (LSE: SMWH.L - news) has more than 750 outlets at transport hubs, mainly in airports, railway stations and motorway service areas, and sales across these locations rose 8 percent during the period.

However, sales were down 4 percent at its UK-focused high street business which operates more than 600 stores.

"We remain confident in the outcome for the full year," WH Smith said in a statement, without elaborating. (Reporting by Rahul B in Bengaluru; Editing by Susan Fenton)
