Tomorrow sees $BOO.L FY results announcement. An important day for me as Boohoo is my largest holding at 12.2% of pf. Last Oct 5th I tweeted My estimate of the FY outcome.
This was for a full year revenues in excess of £1,787m.
$ASOS.L delivered strong results so if I was to do anything I would I’d revise this revenue figure upwards. Further the purchase of the central London office would indicate that management think that they are on course to execute their long term plan. We will see tomorrow. #BOO.
$BOO.L #BOO I was looking for £1,787m or there abouts with a back of the envelope calculation, so am very happy with the £1,745m. All the profit figures are up 35% to 40% and Gross margin up 20bps.
What would I like to see now? I think they should start to use some of the cash pile to buy back stock as it is trading well below intrinsic value. Indeed I am not sure purchase rather than leasing the Central London office was a good use of capital.

$BOO.L
Working my way through the prelims, thoughts:
- If you are not a cynic one could make an argument that #BOO should be included in an ESG fund because going forward they are doing all that an ESG focused company should do & investing is about the future not the past. 1/7
- US growth was 65%. They have captured 1.5% of the UK apparel market. If they were to do the same in the US this would give them US revenue of $30 billion. 2/7
- Growth:
“Revenue growth for the full year to February 2022 is expected to be around 25% at a group level, with newly-acquired brands expected to deliver approximately five percentage points of this growth.
This implies halving of growth of the existing business. Credible? 3/7
