"We are pleased to report a strong performance in the first half of the year, with robust growth across all regions and continued momentum in new customer growth.
Our inclusive brand, unbeatable choice, together with our incredible prices and fantastic service, continue to inspire and appeal to young customers around the world. Through our constant focus on what matters to our customers, together with our investment in technology and operational improvements, we will continue to deliver profitable growth.
As a result of our continued momentum in the UK and encouraging growth in selected overseas markets, we now expect revenue growth for the full year of between 30% and 35%, reflecting tougher second half comparatives. Following the success in the first half of the year we will continue to look for opportunities to invest in marketing campaigns and our customer proposition to drive future sales growth and improve customer lifetime value. We will also be making significant investments in our IT systems and Ecommerce platforms. Consequently EBITDA margin for the full year is expected to be around 11%."

Business review
Performance during the 6 months to 31 August 2016
Revenue growth across all geographic regions continued at a strong pace. In the UK, our largest market, revenue growth was 38%, whilst in Europe growth was 41% (CER 41%). The USA continued to grow very strongly at 93% (CER 81%) and rest of the world growth was 17% (CER 27%).
Currency exchange movements since the EU referendum have not significantly affected results due to foreign exchange hedges placed several months earlier in accordance with our rolling hedging programme, although weaker sterling does provide the opportunity to use promotional activity to generate incremental international sales over and above hedged transactions. With an element of many product prices being dollar-based, it remains to be seen what the longer term effect of continued sterling weakness might be in the supply chain.
Gross margin was 55.3% (2015: 60.1%) reducing by 480bps, of which 350bps was in line with our strategy of increased investment in price and promotions. A further 130bps was driven by a greater proportion of lower margin third party sales (revenue from other channels and wholesale sales to retailers). Retail gross margin was 57.0% (2015: 60.5%). Marketing expenditure decreased to 6.3% of revenue compared to 12.6% in the comparable half year, as we stimulated growth through greater use of price and delivery promotions.
Adjusted EBITDA was GBP16.5 million (2015: GBP7.6 million), an increase of 117% on the prior year, and profit before tax was GBP14.4 million (2015: GBP6.3 million), an increase of 129%.
Fashion
We aim to be the best-priced brand in fashion and with a range of over 20,000 styles we always have something to offer every taste in style and from the latest trends. With 100 new styles on site every day, the offering is continuously fresh and exciting. 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, whilst other products from the expanded range are generating robust revenue growth: plus-size and petite have grown strongly and attained a high level of revenue and the more recently-introduced tall and lingerie ranges have made a very promising start.
Fashion advice and lifestyle commentary is energetically presented in the "Stylefix" section of the website. Here, female customers can enjoy keeping up with fashion trends in a highly engaging lifestyle media stream, watch videos and read interesting articles by bloggers.
Our menswear range is expanding and, since early 2016, has been sold from a separate menswear website in addition to the main site. This has enabled us to offer a proposition more relevant to the male audience, with added celebrity contributions, fashion advice and lifestyle articles in the "Manual" section. Menswear is showing great promise, with monthly sales at the end of the first half double those at the start, and continuing to grow strongly.
In the second half year we will be introducing a range of children's clothing for girls and boys in the 5 to 12 age range and also a small maternity range.
Marketing
Marketing activity has continued with the highly successful "WeAreUs" campaigns, through TV, media events and social media channels. Bloggers and influencers also contribute via social media to generate an inclusive and engaging experience for our social media savvy customers, with great photography and interesting articles promoting the brand and the latest products. Our "Style Squads" comprise over 60 bloggers and influencers across our key geographic markets.
In July we announced another celebrity fashion collaboration with international curve model and blogger Jordyn Woods, which we expect will be highly effective in the growing US market. In August we held our launch party for this new collaboration in Los Angeles. The event was covered extensively in the media and attracted many celebrities and influencers including Kylie Jenner, Jaden Smith and Hailey Baldwin. In April we staged pop-up shops, one in Los Angeles, generating much interest in California amongst the extensive student population, and one in Paris, supporting the growing French market. In the UK we sponsored Graduate Fashion Week and staged a number of media events, driving further awareness of the brand.
In early spring we launched the boohooMAN.com website, with the reality TV personality and celebrity Big Brother contestant Scotty T fronting promotional activity. This has contributed to an acceleration in menswear sales, supported by a continuously increasing product range and marketing activity focussed on the young male audience. We have also started a series of shoots with key influencers, the latest being with actor and P-Diddy's stepson, Quincy Brown.
Improvements in the efficiency of our acquisition marketing spend have also been realised with the use of more advanced analytical tools and techniques. We have also stepped up our activity on social media on Facebook Live and on Snapchat and a content drive on Instagram has helped us pass the 2 million follower mark in the UK.
Customer interaction
Active customers, who shopped with us in the 12 months to 31 August 2016, rose to 4.5 million, an increase of 28% on the same period a year ago. The number of website sessions grew strongly by 32% on the previous 12 months to 241 million sessions. Order frequency has risen by 7.7%, with customers buying, on average, 2.1 times in 12 months and conversion rate to sale improved from 3.8% to 3.9% of sessions. On social media we have 0.5 million followers on Twitter and a reach of 7.9 million, 3.8 million followers on Instagram, 2.3 million Facebook likes and a reach of 2.8 million and 3.2 million views recorded on YouTube.
Our multi-lingual customer service team responds to customer queries from a variety of platforms and aims for excellence in response time and problem resolution. Our performance is constantly measured internally and we monitor external customer review websites such as Trustpilot to ensure we maintain best-in-class standards. We have introduced web-chat in the UK, which is proving highly effective and is receiving a high satisfaction rating from customers.
boohoo.com customers are able to choose from a range of delivery options, which we are constantly refining as new opportunities become available. We operate a midnight cut-off for next day delivery, Sunday delivery and collect+ returns in the UK. In the second half of the year we have introduced boohoo Premier, which offers an unlimited next day delivery service in the UK for an annual fee, and has received a very favourable customer response.
Technology
The Android and iPhone Apps introduced in the UK, USA and Australia in early spring are being utilised increasingly by customers, with 1.4 million downloads to date. Mobile and tablet use continues to rise and now accounts for 72% of sessions.
We are planning to expand the number of market places in which we are present in the second half and to improve personalisation by territory and device to enhance the customer experience.
These new channels are facilitated by our systems architecture, built around the concept of multiple customer channels supported with common infrastructure. Around this architecture, we will make significant investments in the latest sophisticated and most stable platforms in the second half of the year. On-going refinements contribute to an ever-improving customer experience.
Warehouse
Three more mezzanine floor layers, expanding capacity by another 275,000 square feet to 525,000 square feet total capacity, are now in use in the warehouse, with capacity sufficient for medium term future growth. A second warehouse extension, which will incorporate a significant amount of automation, is now at the planning stage.
People
Sara Murray joined the board as a non-executive director in April and Mark Newton-Jones stepped down from the board in July. We thank Mark for his contribution during a key developmental phase of the company's history.
The senior management team remained unchanged during the period, following a number of senior appointments last year. We appointed a number of skilled middle-management positions and undertook several large-scale training and development programmes as part of our up-skilling and retention policy for staff development.
The rate of growth in revenue has required an increase in personnel in the volume-related functions in customer service and warehousing. The total permanent workforce now stands at 1,235, up from 1,015 at 29 February 2016.
Pretty Little Thing
The company has an option to acquire the business of "PrettyLittleThing" before March 2017 and management is evaluating all aspects of a potential acquisition, the related management incentive and how the business will be best integrated and managed as part of the boohoo group.
Financial review
We have continued to drive strong customer growth through our price, promotional and marketing strategy in the first half of the year, whilst achieving good margins. By leveraging overheads, our profitability has also improved.

Liquidity and financial resources
Free cash flow was GBP10.6m compared to GBP7.4m in H1 2016. In the first half of the year, inventories increased, due to the requirement to hold more products to serve our growing customer base, and receivables, payables and accruals increased in line with trading activity. Capital expenditure was GBP6.6m as we have continued to invest in our warehouse and IT systems to support projected growth in trade. The closing cash balance was GBP67.1m.

Outlook
We are pleased to report a strong performance in the first half of the year, with robust growth across all regions and continued momentum in new customer growth.
Our inclusive brand, unbeatable choice, together with our incredible prices and fantastic service, continue to inspire and appeal to young customers around the world. Through our constant focus on what matters to our customers, together with our investment in technology and operational improvements, we will continue to deliver profitable growth.
As a result of our continued momentum in the UK and encouraging growth in selected overseas markets, we now expect revenue growth for the full year of between 30% and 35%, reflecting tougher second half comparatives. Following the success in the first half of the year we will continue to look for opportunities to invest in marketing campaigns and our customer proposition to drive future sales growth and improve customer lifetime value. We will also be making significant investments in our IT systems and Ecommerce platforms. Consequently EBITDA margin for the full year is expected to be around 11%.
