Update on Timing of Full Year Results Announcement

Halfords Group plc today announces an update regarding the timing of the publication of its preliminary financial results for the 52 weeks to 31 March 2023 (“FY23”).

The audit of the Group's Annual Report & Accounts is well advanced, however, the Group’s auditor, BDO LLP, have requested more time to complete their standard audit procedures.

We now expect to report our preliminary results for FY23 on 21 June 2023, a delay to the previously planned date of 15 June 2023.

The Board continues to expect to report FY23 underlying Profit Before Tax within its previously guided range.
