A General Meeting to enable shareholders to vote on the proposed appointment of Mike Ashley and Mike Lennon as directors of the company has been scheduled for 20th December, with the BOO board strongly advising shareholders to vote against all resolutions.
Boohoo has taken decisive action to cease supplying US customers from its distribution centre in Pennsylvania, USA, as management look at ways to drive a more sustainable, profitable business whilst also broadening routes to market. US orders will now be fulfilled from its state-of-the-art distribution centre in Sheffield, UK, allowing for a significant reduction in ongoing costs along with a much broader product range where previously only 60% of styles were accessible to US customers. We expec...

FY’23 results came in line with expectations with net revenues down -11% yoy and adj. EBITDA margin of 3.6% (down -270bps yoy). However, the current trading environment remains tough with sales in 1H’24E expected to decline -10% to -15% yoy. Guidance for FY’24E is for net revenue of flat to -5% yoy (consensus +2%) and adjusted EBITDA of between £69-78m at a 4.0% to 4.5% margin (consensus £70.5m). Medium term margins are now expected to be in the 6-8% range vs. the historical guidance of 9-10%. T...
FY23 revenue and EBITDA is a marginal beat vs. estimates with cash generation the standout beat. Market conditions are challenging, reflected in lower FY24 growth, but strategic progress is delivering improved profitability, with medium term guidance confident in a return to double-digit growth and increased profitability.
The UK economic outlook has improved, and energy prices have been much responsible for that. Despite some uncertainty left on this front for winter 23/24, prices are not expected to rise as rapidly as in 2022, thus views on inflation and economic growth have become less pessimistic (ours included) over the last two months. Why? A better energy outlook benefits consumption, business sentiment (thus investment) and eases the burden of fiscal support in 2023.

P3’23 (Sep-Dec) net revenue declined -13% CCY basis, worsening from -10% in 2Q’23. The slowdown was driven by weakening UK demand. Gross margin declined -220bps to 49.7% driven by higher markdown activity to clear its elevated inventory position. Guidance for FY’23E has been lowered slightly to -12% revenue (from -10-11%) and a 3.5% EBITDA margin (from 3-5%). We believe the margin pressures on the company are structural given the need to compete with Shein, higher return rates, near shoring of s...
