Footfall weakened: 41% reported declines, versus 34% reporting increases; only 41% reported higher quarterly revenue year on year.
Profit pressure intensified: 52% reported lower profitability or said operations are loss-making or unviable.
Cost inflation drove concern: employment costs up 10.7% per person over two years; 85% cited higher labor costs.
