Nick Robertson, CEO, commented:
"I am pleased to report a strong finish to the financial year
with retail sales growth for the fourth quarter up 47% to GBP208
million, and up 40% to GBP754 million for the full year to 31
August 2013.
Retail sales growth during Q4 was strong in both the UK at +49%
and Internationally at +47%. International growth continues to be
driven by the countries in which we have dedicated websites and
in-country teams, and was particularly strong in Europe, driven by
France, Germany, Italy and Spain. We also saw strong growth in the
US and in Russia, following the launch of our Russian website.
International equated to 64% of our total retail sales over the
period compared with 65% last year, reflecting the strength of our
core UK business during the quarter.
We have now annualised last year's price investments and retail
gross margin for the quarter grew by c.460bps year on year. This
strong gross margin position has allowed us to continue to invest
in the overall customer offer, attracting more active customers
which now stand at 7.1 million.
We expect profit before tax for the year ended 31 August 2013 to
be marginally above expectations."
