Nick Robertson, Chief Executive, made the following comments.
"It was another excellent year for ASOS, total sales rose 35% and profit before
tax is likely to be in line with market expectations. The year was
characterised by more conservative planning, specifically around stock levels, a
focus on operational and financial controls and the introduction of key customer
initiatives such as free returns. Simultaneously we have been developing our
International business and remain on track to launch our US, French and German
websites this year.
The new year has started very positively, retail sales are up 56% in April (UK
+25% and International +148%) the top 6 international markets being US,
Denmark, France, Australia, Ireland and Germany respectively.
We are approaching this year with considerably more confidence. Demand for our
spring / summer ranges have been very strong and the Internet continues to
outperform the other retail channels".
