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...
H122 results reflect deterioration in UK consumer alongside ongoing pressures of higher return rates and extended delivery to international markets. Despite challenging market backdrop, BOO is well positioned with significant liquidity headroom and a near term focus on driving operational efficiency.
• Q1 financial highlights: Group revenue of £445.7m is -8.3% YOY vs. a strong comp (Q1 FY22 revenue +32.1%), in line with Zeus’s forecast and management’s previously stated guidance. Gross sales growth remained positive +9% YOY but was offset by higher returns driven by normalisation of returns rates due to product mix change. In our view the impact of lockdown restrictions over the past two years limits the usefulness of assessing the Group’s progress on a YOY basis. Over the three-year pre-pan...
