Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane, joint CEOs, commented:

"Trading in the four months to 31 December 2016 has been strong across all regions. Our strategy offering great pricing, enticing promotions and an ever-broader range of the latest fashion continues to drive growth and enhance customer lifetime value. In particular, sales momentum in the USA has continued robustly, helped by our strong customer proposition across the Black Friday weekend.

We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of a majority stake in PrettyLittleThing on 3 January 2017 and we welcome the team to the enlarged boohoo.com group. This is a fantastic brand to complement boohoo.com's own brand, and we look forward to building on its success.

Progress is being made towards a further warehouse extension at Burnley to support growth in the longer term and investment in our IT infrastructure continues. The USA website was moved to a new platform in October and our mobile Apps in the UK and internationally continue to grow in popularity.

As a result of the strong trading through Black Friday continuing into the Christmas season, we now expect revenue growth for boohoo.com (excluding PrettyLittleThing) to be between 43% and 45% in the year to 28 February 2017, above previous guidance of between 38% and 42%. As previously announced, PrettyLittleThing is expected to achieve revenue growth in excess of 150% for the year to 28 February 2017 (FY16 revenue: GBP17.0m), while being broadly breakeven at EBITDA level. Consequently, group revenue growth, including PrettyLittleThing, is expected to be between 46% and 48% and group EBITDA margin between 11% and 12%."

About PrettyLittleThing

Founded in 2012, PrettyLittleThing originated as an accessories only website. It soon saw that its customers wanted to buy top to toe outfits and introduced a clothing range in 2013. Since then PLT has grown into a forward-thinking fashion brand offering killer affordable style to female fashion breakers and makers. The business is all about the right here, right now. PLT doesn't just anticipate trends; it creates them, taking inspiration from the catwalk, celebrities, and influencers, making sure they're available for the customer to shop on PLT's site before they are available anywhere else.
