Nick Beighton, CEO, commented:
"We have traded well through peak and are continuing to invest
in the future growth of the business. We are on track with our
plans for the year as a whole.
Retail sales for the four months to 31 December 2015 grew by 22%
(+27% on a constant currency basis) in line with expectations. We
had record sales over cyber weekend in late November and have seen
further growth in average order frequency, average basket value and
number of orders, alongside an acceleration in active customer
growth to +18%.
UK growth remained strong at +25% and our improved international
sales growth of 20% (+28% on a constant currency basis) was
underpinned by our continued price investments, further deployment
of our zonal pricing tool and continued strong full price sales
mix. As a result the retail gross margin declined by a net
40bps.
We are progressing well with our warehouse and technology
investments and in December construction began on our EuroHub 2
facility."
