Ted Baker's e-commerce business continued to perform well while its move into Asia, with the opening of its first store in Beijing, was 'encouraging'.
It added that momentum in the US was disrupted by the effects of Hurricane Sandy towards the end of the period.
Wholesale sales rose 14.2% for the period after a good performance from its US and UK wholesale businesses. It expects group wholesale sales for the full year to be some 12% ahead of last year.
Gross margins were, as anticipated, in line with last year.
Founder and Chief Executive Ray Kelvin said: "We are very encouraged by the reaction to the brand and collections in our new markets where we are investing for the longer term development of the brand and further new store openings are planned for the coming months, including our first store in Toronto, Canada, further stores in Shanghai, China as well as a new store in Heathrow Terminal 3."
"Whilst we are pleased with our performance to date, full year results will as always be dependent on trading over the key Christmas period."
