Boots’ Irish revenue nears €300m mark for first time

The Irish arm of Boots last year delivered a “strong performance” as revenues approached the €300m mark for the first time.

New accounts from Boots Retail (Ireland) Ltd show that in spite of the revenue increase, the firm last year recorded a slight drop in pre-tax profits of €20m - down from the €20.43m pre-tax profit in fiscal 2013.

The new figures show that last March 31, the company increased revenues by 4.7% from €285m to €298.35m.
