The retailer said its growth came “despite external factors” impacting trading across some of its global markets, such as the downturn of the British economy since the Brexit referendum.
“This continued good performance across all of our distribution channels is a reflection of the strength and appeal of Ted Baker as a global lifestyle brand,” chief executive Ray Kelvin said.
“The continued expansion of the brand remains underpinned by an unwavering focus on quality and attention to detail as well as the passion, skill and ‘Tedication’ of our team.
“We are very pleased with the customer response during the period and, despite an uncertain macro environment, we remain positioned to deliver further progress and our expectations for the full year.”
