However, Space NK warned of the effects of the pandemic – which began to kick in at the very end of the period.
It said the future outlook is expected to see “a migration of sales towards the online retail channel, while physical stores are expected to see subdued sales and profitability”.
Space NK’s stores were forced to close due to government regulations towards the end of the period due to a national lockdown.
The retailer said the store closures impacted its retail sales into its new financial year.
Despite this, online sales have offset the decline in retail store turnover, while its wholesale division has been less affected by Covid-19.
