Asos ended its financial year (3 September 2023) with a lower-than-expected operating loss. The group expects sales in FY24 to continue to fall by 5%-15%. The new leadership will continue to focus on a recovery in profitability while sacrificing top-line growth. The group expects to return to positive growth by FY25. The updated outlook for FY24 onwards and the lack of meaningful progress on profitability to date remain a concern going forward.

Asos published weaker-than-expected year-end trading. The wet weather in July and August across many of the group’s markets, most notably the UK, has resulted in weaker sales and impacted the year-end cash flow. However, the group’s inventory level reduced 30% yoy and order profitability has improved by over 35%; both give the new financial year a favourable start. We are still waiting for more evidence on profit improvement.
Asos has returned to profitability in P3 23 (3 months to end May), despite the top-line decline of 14% thanks to deliberate actions on capital allocation to improve profitability. The improved profitability has enabled the group to maintain H2 23 and FY23 guidance unchanged.

Asos reported a revenue contraction of 6% for the period from September to December 2022, impacted by the challenging trading environment (cost of living crisis and elevated return rate) and the strategic restructuring of the business. The group continues to expect an H1 23 loss owing to the challenging consumer environment. However, Asos is confident of achieving a significant improvement in profitability from H2 23, which will result in free cash flow generation of -£100m-£0m for FY23.
Asos published its FY22 (ended August 2022) figures, impacted by the weaker consumer environment. The ongoing supply chain disruption and skyrocketing cost of living will continue to weigh on the group’s performance into the new FY23. The group announced a series of cost-cutting and business reorganisation measures, and increased financial flexibility through the renegotiation of core banking covenants to navigate the challenges of the year ahead.

Asos has cut its FY22 guidance as shoppers return more clothes amid inflationary pressure. The group also continues to work actively against the ongoing global supply chain challenges. The FY22 top-line is expected to grow between 4%-7% vs .10%-15% previously Adj. PBT will be in a range of £20m-£60m vs. £110m-£140m.
The cost inflation and higher discounted activity along with the industry-wide supply challenges since last winter have negatively affected Asos’ profitability during the first half. Although the stock position for H2 has significantly enhanced, the group warned that the higher risk from inflationary pressure and the suspension of activity in Russia may weigh on the FY22 performance. So far, the group has maintained its FY22 guidance.

Made Tech has won a material expansion (worth up to £19.5m/2yrs) with a long-standing customer, The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (“DLUHC”).

Cerillion has announced a very solid update, as H1 sales and EBITDA are both up 10% y/y to £22.5m and £10.9m respectively, notwithstanding the exceptionally strong base period (sales and EBITDA +27% and +38% resp.). Results therefore point to continued strong customer demand, reflecting how Cerillion’s out-of-the-box product continues to resonate and gain adoption, particularly in a ‘budget conscious’ environment, by offering faster time to market, greater configurability and at a lower cost.

As reported in March, underlying EBITDA profitability improved to record levels despite FX headwinds. Further platform and proposition developments were completed, key steps on its digital roadmap, and it has already won 7 contracts YTD. Alongside planned growth in private membership, this will at least offset the loss of one contract. Forecasts are left unchanged today and, as member engagement throttles back up, FX headwinds ease, and proof points of digital efficiency emerge, markets should b

Devolver Digital encouragingly delivered 2023 results slightly ahead of expectations and provided a steady medium-term outlook that leads us to reiterate our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA estimates. Longer term, the company is now planning to further develop its two major planned titles, Human Fall Flat 2 and System Era's next major new release. We now expect those major titles to be released in 2026 rather than 2025, meaning we lower our 2025 Adjusted EBITDA forecast to $10.6m from $17.6m but introduce
