<p>Music and games retailer HMV said its full-year outcome was hanging in the balance after the start of the all-important Christmas trading period was impacted by snow.</p>
<p>HMV said so-called customer footfall in shops had been &#8220;significantly&#8221; affected by the arctic conditions in the past two weeks, coming at the start of its key festive season &#8211; which largely determines its full-year performance.</p>
<p>The group, which also owns the Waterstone&#8217;s book chain, makes 60% of sales throughout Christmas and the final four months of its year and is hoping to make up for difficult conditions in the first half.</p>
<p>Results showed seasonal pre-tax losses widening to £41.3 million in the six months to October 23 from £24.9 million a year earlier after HMV UK and Ireland sales slumped 16.1%.</p>
