Marc Bolland, a new chief executive of Martha stores, said: "the company performed well in the second quarter of this year, but I will remain cautious about the market situation in the coming months."

Seymour Pierce analyst George (Freddie George) said: "Martha department store's strong sales growth in the second quarter basically compensated for the increase in costs."

Martha department store said that with the increase of VAT rate and the reduction of public expenditure, the disposable income of consumers will face greater pressure, and the market situation in the future will become more challenging.

Due to the increase in marketing expenditure, it is estimated that the operating cost growth rate of the company in the current fiscal year will exceed 4% of the previous forecast of 5%.
