French Connection Group plc provided earnings guidance for the six months to July 31, 2012. The company expects group revenue for the six months to July 31, 2012 of 7% below the level achieved last year while gross margin was also lower as a result of additional discounting. The operating result from continuing operations for the half-year will therefore be below last year by approximately £7 million.

Net cash at the end of the period was in the region of £20 million.
