In its interim management statement, Homebase owner Home Retail Group plc said sales for the DIY retailer were £422m, up by 0.2% on a year ago.
Like-for-like sales were up 1.4%, with net closed space reducing sales by 1.2% during the period. The store portfolio remained at 336.
Big ticket product sales drove like-for-like sales but this was partially offset by reduced sales of seasonal products, such as fencing and decking due to poor weather conditions. Sales for other categories were broadly flat.
The company expects consumer spending to remain subdued.
