The company’s underlying EBITDA was GBP31.7m for the financial year, up 34% on the same period last year, despite “turbulent economic conditions”. Poundland did not disclose its net profit.
Chief executive Jim McCarthy said: “It is clear that the challenging economic climate is set to continue for some time yet and that an increasing number of consumers will continue to seek exceptional value for money.
“Poundland is perfectly positioned to serve the needs of consumers who place value for money at the heart of their purchasing decisions.”
