Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane, joint CEOs, commented:
"Our group results for the first half year show yet another
strong performance, delivering record sales and profits. All of our
brands performed extremely well across all territories as we
continue to gain market share. We achieved market-leading growth in
all markets, with Rest of Europe and the USA being particularly
pleasing. Growth in the UK, our largest market, remains very
strong.
We successfully executed a major relocation of the distribution
centre for PrettyLittleThing, which represents a key milestone as
we develop a distribution network capable of generating GBP3
billion of net sales globally, in line with our vision to lead the
fashion eCommerce market. This relocation was carried out with a
low level of disruption to the operations of PrettyLittleThing and
is a credit to the project team. Our extended distribution centre
in Burnley, which will have a significant element of automation to
drive efficiency savings, is scheduled for operational use in
2019."

Review of the business
Group overview
Group revenue for the half year increased by 50% (49% CER) on
the first half of the previous year to GBP395.3 million (2018:
GBP262.9 million). Revenue growth across all territories and brands
was strong.
Adjusted EBITDA was GBP39.6 million (2018: GBP27.8 million), an
increase of 43% on the first half of the previous year, with
planned investments in the customer proposition and marketing
across the group leading to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.0%
(2018: 10.6%). Adjusted profit before tax was GBP35.8 million
(2018: GBP25.1 million), an increase of 43%. Profit before tax was
GBP24.7 million (2018: GBP20.3 million), an increase of 22%.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share was 1.99p, up 31% on the prior
half year. Basic earnings per share rose to 1.42p, an increase of
14% (2018: 1.25p).
In the first half year, the group has again achieved outstanding
growth with profitability in line with guidance. All of our brands
have performed extremely well and the exceptional growth of
PrettyLittleThing continues. The group has achieved gains in market
share across its key focus territories and brand awareness has
heightened through successful celebrity associations and influencer
campaigns. The customer proposition has been refined, with faster
delivery times, more delivery options, new payment methods and
quicker refunds. Gross margin has improved as a result of stronger
sell through, tighter control on stock cover and refinement of the
customer proposition.
Cash flow generation was strong, with free cash flow up 93% to
GBP24.5m. Capital expenditure was GBP31.2 million as we invest in
our infrastructure ahead of our growth curve. Our net cash balance
at the period end increased to GBP155.6 million (2018: GBP119.2
million).
Distribution centres
The construction of our latest distribution centre extension at
Burnley is now complete and fit-out is underway with completion
scheduled for 2019. Automation is a key component of the fit-out
which will greatly improve picking efficiency. In addition to the
new welfare facilities open to all employees, we now provide a bus
service to the Burnley distribution centre from nearby towns.
PrettyLittleThing's distribution centre relocation to Sheffield was
completed successfully during July and August. Exceptional dual
running expenses incurred during this period amounted to GBP6.4
million. The addition of the Sheffield facility greatly increases
our sales capacity, will help underpin PLT's infrastructure needs
and adds further operational flexibility for the group as we
continue to invest in our future distribution network capable of
generating GBP3 billion of net sales globally.
boohoo (including boohooMAN)
Performance
Revenue for the half year increased to GBP209.0 million, up 15%
on the first half of the previous year, with growth in all our key
focus markets.
International growth continues to be strong, especially in
northern Europe, where we are rapidly gaining market share, whilst
both UK and international growth accelerated in the second quarter
alongside an improved gross margin performance. Gross margin
increased by 110bps to 53.4%, driven by improved stock control and
refinement of the customer proposition.
Product
New product introductions and comprehensive size range offerings
have continued to drive growth. boohooMAN has performed strongly
with an ever-extending product range and increasing customer reach.
Our offering changes daily, with hundreds of new styles added and
the very latest fashions appearing within days or weeks of trends
being spotted by our fashion experts and offered to our customers
at affordable prices. The breadth of the range makes boohoo a
destination to which customers keep returning to find their desired
items with ease.
Marketing
Marketing activity in the first half year included several high
profile celebrity campaigns: Zendaya, Stefflon Don, French Montana,
Dele Alli and Paris Hilton headed the cast and were instrumental in
driving increased brand awareness. Other activities continued using
a successful formula of a mix of media, including social media
influencers, bloggers, TV, outdoor, email, student events and
digital acquisition channels. Our social media presence continues
to grow and we now have 5.0 million followers on Instagram, 2.9
million Facebook fans and 0.5 million followers on Twitter. We have
opened marketing offices in Paris and Los Angeles, which will
provide local knowledge and focal points for future campaigns and
marketing initiatives as we continue to drive awareness of the
boohoo brand worldwide.
Customer interaction
Active customer numbers over the last 12 months increased by 15%
to 6.7 million. Conversion rate to sale decreased from 4.5% to 4.1%
of sessions, when measured on website statistics alone. Order
frequency increased 2%, with customers placing an order with us, on
average, 2.15 times in 12 months, whilst the number of items per
basket decreased 4% to 3.06.
We have continued to refine the customer proposition with free
returns, next day delivery and collection points available in more
overseas markets. In the UK, the cut-off time for next day delivery
has been extended to 11pm and 12pm for next day evening delivery.
SMS messaging has been introduced in the UK to keep customers
informed of delivery status and we are trialling artificial
intelligence in customer contact response. We have 17
country-specific websites and have plans to introduce more foreign
language websites and more payment options in overseas markets
during the year, in line with our aim to attain best-in-class
customer service.
Technology
The principal technology projects completed in the first half
year include new payment solutions and more country returns
portals, which give more returns flexibility and enable us to
refund customers immediately after the courier collects their
parcel. We have also introduced social logins for UK customers.
Projects underway include a new app with increased functionality
and the warehouse automation project, which will drive significant
efficiencies.
PrettyLittleThing
Performance
PrettyLittleThing ("PLT") again achieved outstanding revenue
growth of 132% over the first half of the previous year, despite
some disruption to sales during the warehouse relocation. Growth
across all territories was strong. Increased costs of working were
incurred whilst the warehouse was relocated, which have been
classified as exceptional within distribution costs and
administrative expenses, and amount to GBP6.4 million. These
comprise the extra costs of operating two sites in the pre go-live
and migration periods, dual shipping of customer orders, physically
moving stock between the two sites and increased customer service
costs to deal with queries during the migration period. Gross
margin has increased to 57.3% (2018: 54.8%), with stronger
sell-through and refinements to the customer proposition.
Product
PLT brings the latest and most relevant celebrity looks at
affordable prices to our customers, with a choice of over 13,000
styles and new items available daily. Our product range has
continued to expand during the first half of the year with strong
growth being seen in the "shape" ranges including Petite, Curve and
Plus. During the first half year we continued to bring the latest
celebrity looks to customers including collaborations with UK Radio
presenter, Maya Jama, and American Hip-Hop stylist, Karl Kani.
Marketing
We have continued to extend our social media reach by increasing
the number of social media influencers, combined with celebrity
campaigns and collaborations. These include Maya Jama, Karl Kani
and the recently-announced collaboration with Ashley Graham, one of
America's most successful models, all of which help the brand reach
its target audience.
Customer interaction
We now support eight country-specific websites and have plans
for further foreign language sites, following the success of the
French language site, introduced in the previous financial year.
For the UK market, we offer a wide range of free return options. We
have also introduced new returns options in international markets,
accelerating the point of refund to enhance the customer
experience.
Active customer numbers over the last 12 months increased by 99%
to 4.0 million. We have 1.4 million followers on Facebook (an
increase of 40% in 12 months), 0.2 million followers on Twitter,
6.3 million Instagram followers (an increase of 200% in 12 months),
as well as a presence on several other social media channels.
Technology
PLT operates iOS and android apps for the UK and US markets and
the apps have been developed throughout the period to improve the
customer experience and conversion rates. There have been
continuous improvements to the performance and user experience of
all customer-facing websites, with key highlights being the
introduction of a new 'Contact Us' page to more effectively manage
customer queries and enhance product information. We regularly
review payment options offered to customers, adding new methods
pertinent to each market.
Nasty Gal
Performance
Revenue growth across all territories has been very strong at
111%. The USA is the largest market for the brand and revenue
growth there remains robust. The brand continues to see strong
growth outside the US, albeit from a low base. Gross margin at
59.0% (2018: 63.8%) has remained at a pleasing level as the
customer proposition is refined in each territory. Conversion and
the number of items per basket have also risen.
Product
Our product range continues to broaden and targets price points
higher than those of boohoo. The brand has its roots in Los Angeles
and portrays a distinctive look for the confident girl who like to
express her personality through the clothes she wears. Now, with
over 6,000 styles in stock, the brand's appeal is rising and
reaching a larger audience.
Marketing
The marketing strategy has focussed on building and extending
the number of bloggers and influencers and staging key media events
to re-engage customer interest and promote brand loyalty.
Customer interaction
Nasty Gal has six country and regional websites, developed since
start-up in March 2017 and Android and iOS apps for the UK, US and
the Australian markets.
On social media we have 2.8 million followers on Instagram, 1.2
million Facebook likes and 0.2 million followers on Twitter.

1 Accounting policies
General information
boohoo group plc is a public limited company incorporated and
domiciled in Jersey and listed on the Alternative Investment Market
(AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. Its registered office address
is: 12 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey, JE2 3RT. The company was
incorporated on 19 November 2013.
Basis of preparation
The interim condensed financial statements for the six months
ended 31 August 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. The
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 28 February
2018, prepared and approved by the directors in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU
("Adopted IFRSs"), IFRIC Interpretations and the Companies (Jersey)
Law 1991 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The interim condensed financial statements contained in this
report are not audited and do not constitute statutory accounts
within the meaning of Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The Annual
Report and Accounts for the year ended 28 February 2018 has been
filed with the Jersey Companies Registry. The auditors' reports on
those accounts was unqualified and did not include reference to any
matters on which the auditors were required to report by exception
under Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
The group's business activities together with the factors that
are likely to affect its future developments, performance and
position are set out in the Business and Financial Reviews. The
Financial Review describes the group's financial position, cash
flows and bank facilities.
The interim financial statements are unaudited and were approved
by the board of directors on 25 September 2018.
Going concern
The directors have reviewed the group's forecast and
projections, including assumptions concerning capital expenditure
and expenditure commitments and their impact on cash flows, and
have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate financial
resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
For this reason they have continued to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the financial statements.
In preparing the interim announcement, the directors have also
made reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates and prepared
the interim announcement on the going concern basis. The interim
announcement and management report contained herein give a true and
fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit
and loss of the group.
Accounting policies
The interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies set out in the group's
Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 28 February 2018.
IFRS 9, "Financial instruments", is effective for the current
accounting period, but will not have an effect on the accounts as
foreign currency hedging contracts will continue to be accounted
for as hedges under the standard. IFRS 15, "Revenue from contracts
with customers", is effective for the current accounting period,
but will not have an effect on the accounts, as revenue from online
sales is already recognised when the customer is estimated to have
received the goods and revenue from annual delivery service is
already spread over the period of the service. IFRS 16, "Leases",
is effective for accounting periods commencing 1 January 2019 and
will have an effect in the accounts for the year ended 29 February
2020. Taking account of leases that exist at 31 August 2018, the
effect is expected to be an increase in assets and liabilities of
GBP5 million, additional depreciation charges and interest charges
in the first year of application of the standard of GBP1 million
and GBP0.1 million respectively per annum and a reduction on
operating expenses of GBP1.1 million. The
accounting treatment for elements of the cost of third party
logistics service for PLT is under review with respect to IFRS
16.
2 Principal risks and uncertainties
The board considers the principal risks and uncertainties which
could impact the group over the remaining six months of the
financial year to 28 February 2019 to be unchanged from those set
out in the group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 28
February 2018, which in summary are: competition risk; fashion and
consumer demands risk; systems and technical risk; supply chain
risk; loss of key facilities; people risk; customer
dissatisfaction; and financial risk. These are set out in detail on
pages 22 to 24 of the group's Annual Report and Accounts for the
year ended 28 February 2018, a copy of which is available on the
group's website, www.boohooplc.com. In addition, the group is
closely monitoring the potential impacts of the UK's leaving the
EU.

12 Contingent liabilities
From time to time, the group can be subject to various legal
proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of
business which may include cases relating to the group's brands and
trading names. All such cases brought against the group are
robustly defended and a liability is recorded only when it is
probable that the case will result in a future economic outflow and
that the outflow can be reliably measured.
As at 31 August 2018, there are no pending claims or proceedings
against the group which in the opinion of the directors are
expected to have a material adverse effect on its liquidity or
operations.
