The formalwear retailer said that it made a pre-tax loss of £3 million in the six months to August 1st.
This is an increase on the £2.2 million loss it made during the same period in 2008, but the firm said it still expects to meet its full-year targets, something that may be welcomed by those trading Moss Bros shares on the stock market.
Chief executive officer Brian Brick noted that the company will achieve its aims for the 12-month period thanks to a number of changes, including new management initiatives.
"This is predicated on the fiscal state of the economy remaining broadly in line with the current situation and not materially worsening," he was quoted by ShareCast as saying.
Shares in the business were up following the announcement, climbing 1.72 per cent to 29.5p at 13:11 BST.
