Three months to 31 August 2014 highlights
-- Retail sales +15% (UK +33%, International +6%) -- International retail sales 59% of total (64% last year) -- Retail gross margin down c.640 bps on prior year -- 8.8 million active customers(1) at 31 August 2014 (+25% year on year)
Year to 31 August 2014 highlights
-- Retail sales +27% (UK +35%, International +22%) -- International retail sales 61% of total (63% last year) -- Retail gross margin down c.230 bps on prior year -- Strong balance sheet and cash position
Nick Robertson, CEO, commented:
"Our UK performance remained strong over the final quarter, with sales increasing 33%. Our International business grew 6% or 14% in constant currency. However, due to the fire at our Barnsley distribution centre, we lost sales during the quarter of between GBP25m and GBP30m with a retail gross margin impact of c.200 basis points. After adjusting for insurance proceeds, we expect profit before tax for the year to be in line with market expectations.
Engagement with our customers remains positive with a 25% growth in active customers and increases in order frequency, conversion rate and average basket value. Sales for the year as a whole increased by 27%.
In the new financial year we'll make significant investments in our international pricing and proposition, as well as in our logistical infrastructure and technology platform. As a result, we expect profit before tax for the year to 31 August 2015 to be at a similar level to 2013/14.
We remain focussed on the long term opportunity for ASOS, with GBP2.5bn of sales as our next staging post".
