LJ Williams Ltd says it ex­pects im­proved per­for­mance in fis­cal 2027, af­ter a chal­leng­ing year in which group sales and prof­its de­clined, large­ly due to weak­er re­sults at its sub­sidiary, The Home Store.

Ac­cord­ing to the com­pa­ny’s au­dit­ed fi­nan­cial state­ments for the year end­ed March 31, 2026, the group re­port­ed a loss of $2.27 mil­lion for the 12-month pe­ri­od, com­pared to a loss of $2.86 mil­lion for the pre­vi­ous year. Group sales fell eight per cent to $147.7 mil­lion from the pre­vi­ous year.

Chair­man Law­ford Dupres said the low­er per­for­mance was pri­mar­i­ly at­trib­ut­able to re­duced sales and prof­itabil­i­ty at The Home Store.
