Business Index 2018 Q1 results

158 member branches are included in the HAI Business Index. In Quarter 1 2018, on average, member firms were up 6% year-on-year for the quarter (despite the weather impact on March 2018). The positive year-on-year performance for Quarter 1 peaks among Dublin members. 83% of members indicated that the poor weather conditions had a ‘very negative impact’ on their sales turnover for March.

From a quarterly perspective, the strong revenue bounce in January compensated for the dip in March 2018. The monthly moving average for Q1 peaks in Dublin and Leinster.

18% of member firms offer agricultural supplies (all located outside Dublin).
