In a statement ahead of its annual meeting, the company said the start of 2019 has seen further “encouraging” operational progress across its key international regions as it continues to invest in widening and deepening its distribution networks.
“Whilst we are mindful of last year's exceptional summer trading performance in the UK, we remain confident in achieving board expectations for the full year ending 31 December 2019," it said.
The company pointed out that 2018 was a year of “significant” progress during which it reinforced its market leading position in the UK, established its own operations in the US and made “real” progress across Europe.
