Trading Update
boohoo group plc ('the Group') today announces a trading update
for the first half of its financial year, where performance has
been ahead of expectations with strong revenue growth driving
operating leverage across key brands.
Consequently, the board now anticipates that results for the
current financial year will be ahead of previous guidance, with
Group sales growth now expected to be between 33% and 38% (against
previous guidance of 25% to 30%). The board anticipates EBITDA
margins for the financial year to remain at around 10% (in line
with previous guidance), reflecting anticipated investments across
the financial year into the three brands acquired by the Group in
the first half.
Further guidance will be given at the Group's interim results on
25 September 2019.

About boohoo group plc
"Leading the fashion eCommerce market"
Founded in Manchester in 2006 by Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane,
boohoo is an inclusive and innovative brand targeting young,
value-orientated customers. For 13 years, boohoo has been pushing
boundaries to bring its customers up-to-date and inspirational
fashion, 24/7. boohoo has grown rapidly in the UK and
internationally, expanding its offering with range extensions into
menswear, through boohooMAN.
In early 2017 the group extended its customer offering through
the acquisitions of the vibrant fashion brand PrettyLittleThing,
and free-thinking brand Nasty Gal and in March 2019 acquired the
MissPap brand. United by a shared customer value proposition, our
brands design, source, market and sell great quality clothes, shoes
and accessories at unbeatable prices. This investment proposition
has helped us grow from a single brand, into a major multi-brand
online retailer, leading the fashion eCommerce market around the
world. In August 2019, the group announced the acquisition of the
online businesses for renowned British fashion brands Karen Millen
and Coast, further extending the group's reach and target
market.
As at 28 February 2019, the boohoo group had around 13 million
active customer accounts across all its brands around the
world.
