Book and convenience retailer WH Smith said its revenue had fallen to 85% of pre-pandemic levels as the Omicron variant disrupted footfall at travel hubs and on the High Street.
For the 20 weeks to 15 January, revenue was 85% of 2019 revenue for the period, including 87% for High Street and 83% for travel.
Revenue had recovered to 90% of 2019 levels in the month of November, but had slipped back again since then.
