In an update for the quarter ended 28 February, Cussons said positive trading momentum seen in the first half has continued, with group like-for-like revenue growth of 6.3%. On a reported basis, revenue growth was 5%.

"Reflecting the performance to date, with further stability in the Nigerian Naira and careful cost management, the group now expects to report adjusted operating profit towards the upper end of the previously updated £53-57 million guidance range," it said.

"While this guidance remains subject to movements in the Nigerian Naira in the remaining weeks of the financial year, the actions management have taken to mitigate against future volatility have continued to reduce the group's sensitivity to such fluctuations."

The company - which also owns Carex, Childs Farm, St Tropez and Original Source, among others - is due to report full-year results on 6 August.

At 0915 GMT, the shares were up 5.6% at 77.28p.
