Business review
Performance during the 6 months to 31 August 2015
Revenue for the first half year increased to GBP90.8 million, up 35% (39% CER) on the previous year.
Growth in the UK was 30%, continuing the improved momentum we saw in the first quarter of the year.
Revenue growth in the rest of Europe was 19% (34% CER), impacted by the weak euro. Rest of the world growth revenue growth of 65% (75% CER) was very encouraging, driven by a strong performance in the Australian and US markets.
We have commenced a successful wholesale trial of boohoo branded products to a number of UK and overseas etailers. We plan to extend the range of partners we work with in the second half of the year and see the use of a wholesale channel as an effective strategy to build our brand internationally and broaden our customer reach.
Gross margin was 60.1% (2014: 62.3%) in spite of adverse exchange rate movements and increased promotions. Adjusted EBITDA was GBP7.6 million for the half year, an increase of 12% on the prior year. The 8.4% adjusted EBITDA margin (2014: 10.1%) reflects our investment in price, promotions and marketing to drive strong revenue growth during the first half of the year.
Fashion
We launch up to 100 new styles every day, with constant "new in" updates on our websites, so that our customers are offered the very latest trends and fashion. The combination of high fashion, great value prices and effective marketing encourages customers to shop for every occasion on a regular basis from a choice of around 15,000 styles. Our test-and-repeat model reduces stock holding risk, whilst rapid response enables us to reorder strong selling lines to quickly satisfy demand.
Our core womenswear ranges of dresses, tops, jackets and footwear have continued to perform strongly. The Petite range, launched in autumn 2014 has been highly successful, with robust month-on-month growth mirroring the success of the Plus Size range. Plus Size has continued to grow significantly and has been very well received in our international markets. Swimwear sales have grown strongly, continuing last year's success, as boohoo becomes a shopping destination of choice. We are excited about the introduction of our new range, boohoo Tall, in the second half.
In the spring, we launched boohoo brands, which has made shopping for a chosen look or occasion much easier and more enjoyable, collating similar styles and co-ordinates in categories, such as boohoo Nights and boohoo Blue. Not only is searching time reduced, but complementary items are also easier to find. The "inspire me" and Stylefix pages ensure our customer sees the latest trends and receives the latest fashion tips.
Marketing
Our spring/summer 2015 campaign, "#WeAreUs" featured an innovative approach to marketing with behind-the-scenes videos relating to the brand and its people, shown on boohoo TV and social media, where customers could share images, music, health and lifestyle tips. Highly engaging with our young consumers, who enjoy developing connections with their interest groups, the campaign aimed to promote loyalty through building a greater emotional connection with our customers, expressing our brand personality and the core values of fun, inclusivity and individuality.
Marketing activity has been focussed on our key markets and included TV advertising, media events, college ambassador programmes and social media influencers. In these markets we have engaged local bloggers and well-known social media personalities to promote the brand. Our most recent celebrity signing is hit singer/song writer Charli XCX, who has entered into an exclusive design collaboration for a series of ranges over the next 18 months, the first of which will be launched before Christmas 2015. Charli XCX has a following of 2.5 million Facebook fans and is hugely popular amongst our targeted demographic.
The autumn/winter 2015 campaign "#WeAreNow" is successfully building on the "#WeAreUs" theme earlier in the year and introduces the new season ranges, supported by a new TV ad, celebrities and influencers. In the UK we are launching a student ambassador programme at key universities, whilst in France we will have a pop-up store and will continue with sponsorship of Secret Story, the reality TV series.
Marketing expenditure was 12.6% of revenue over the period compared to 14.5% in the previous year, with a higher focus on price and delivery promotions compared to the previous year.
Customer interaction
We served 3.5 million customers in the 12 months to 31 August 2015, an increase of 32% on the same period a year ago. Website traffic grew strongly, with 182 million sessions recorded in the year, up 27% on the previous 12 months. Our social media statistics reveal we have 0.4 million followers on Twitter, 1.1 million on Instagram, 2.2 million Facebook likes and 2.5 million views recorded on YouTube. We also feature on other social media sites including Vine, Snapchat and Pinterest.
We have a multi-lingual customer services team responding to customer queries from a variety of media and aim for excellence in response time and problem resolution. We constantly measure our performance internally and monitor external customer review websites such as Trustpilot to ensure we maintain best-in-class standards.

Our customers are able to choose from a range of delivery options, which we are constantly refining as new opportunities become available. Last year we introduced a 9pm cut off for next day delivery, Sunday delivery and collect+ in the UK. This year we have reduced the shipping time to Australia by one day and have plans to introduce more collection and return options via third party stores and distribution networks. Customers will shortly be able to use a website portal to choose their preferred return option.
Technology
In the first half of this year, we converted the remaining European websites, including France and Germany, to fully responsive sites (meaning the website layout responds to the size of the device being used by the customer). Now all our websites function according to the device used, improving viewing and ease of use.
Android and iPhone Apps have been introduced in the UK and will be rolled out to other territories in the second half. Mobile and tablet use continues to rise and now accounts for 65% of sessions.
Warehouse
The new warehouse extension entered service in August this year, with 270,000 additional square feet of storage space made available from three mezzanine floors. Capacity can be rapidly expanded in future by another 275,000 square feet from three more mezzanine floor layers, to cater for significant future growth. Total warehouse capacity now stands at 525,000 square feet, equivalent in size to over six football pitches.
People
Our senior management team was strengthened last year with a number of new positions, providing the expertise we need for the growth of the business. This year we have added one more senior position, that of International Director, which we see as a key appointment for the execution of our international growth strategy. The rate of growth in revenue has required an increase in personnel in the volume-related functions in customer service and warehousing. The total workforce now stands at 876, up from 784 at 28 February 2015.
Financial review
During the first half we have invested in acquiring new customers which has delivered revenue growth ahead of our initial expectations with profits in line with our financial plans.

Outlook
We continue to invest in our brand internationally and our strategy to focus on key markets where we see the greatest growth potential remains unchanged.
Our wholesale business trial has performed well and we plan to continue to extend the number of partners we work with in the second half of the year. We will continue to refine the customer experience through a combination of technological improvements, more delivery and return options whilst retaining what we are best at: offering great fashionable product at affordable prices.
During the first half of the year we have invested in acquiring new customers with revenue growth exceeding our initial expectations. We now anticipate revenue growth for the full of year of between 30% and 35%. During the second half we will continue to look at opportunities to invest in building customer lifetime value and market reach which may impact margins in the short term. We are trading in line with current market expectations for EBITDA.
We remain focussed on driving growth in our business and we are pleased with the start we have made to the AW15 season.
