Sales in the UK were up 5.4% versus last year, lower than the 7.6% growth achieved in the first half, but ahead of guidance of 1.9%.

Overseas sales were up 38.8% versus last year, ahead of the 28.1% growth achieved in the first half, and materially better than guidance of 19.4%.

NEXT said it is increasing its guidance for full-price sales in the fourth quarter from 4.5% to 7%. This adds a further £36m of full price sales to its forecast.

It is increasing its full-year guidance for profit before tax by £30m to £1.135 billion.
