Pets At Home backs annual profit forecast, third-quarter revenue jumps on demand surge By Reuters

(Reuters) – Pets at Home Group (LON:PETSP) maintained its annual Pets at Home Group PLC (LON:PETSP) forecast on Thursday, as it posted an 18% jump in third-quarter revenue, driven by higher demand for its accessories and veterinary services as more people adopted pets during lockdowns.

The company that owns brands, including Vets4Pets and The Groom Room, said revenue rose to 302 million pounds ($413.65 million) for the three months ended Dec. 31, and reaffirmed its annual underlying pretax profit forecast of 77 million pounds.
