53% : Group underlying profit before tax totalled £36.2m over the six months to 9 October, down 33.5% on last year, with earnings in the retail division sinking 84.1% to £3.5m due to lower sales and weaker margins, partially offset by an 8.3% improvement in vets profits to £44.9m. Group consumer revenues rose just 0.7% to £1.06bn, as a 6.7% improvement in vet sales to £375.9m was met with a 2.3% slip in turnover at the larger retail arm to £679.9m. In retail, momentum was said to improved over the second quarter as a strong online performance partially offset weaker in-store sales.
