A statement signed off by the board said: "The main brand in the 海角视频, Russell Hobbs, continues to lead the market in terms of market share and the Remington brand has also seen good growth.
"Operating profit for the year was £8.2m compared to a profit of £6.3m in the prior year, whilst gross margins are down in comparison to the prior year.
"The company continued to hedge against foreign exchange rate fluctuations using contracts to reduce risk but the movements year on year had an adverse effect which negatively affected margins.
"There is [a] 5% decrease in gross profit over last tear, which is mainly attributable to the changes in the type of products sold."
