H&M sales development in April 2016

The Swedish clothier H&M Group’s sales including VAT increased by 5 % in local currencies in April 2016 compared to the same month the previous year

The cold spring which continued into April in several of H&M’s large markets has had an unfavourable impact on sales of transitional garments.

The total number of stores amounted to 4035 on April 30, 2016 compared to 3610 on April 30, 2015.
