ASOS v. Boohoo – The Rise, Fall And Rise Of Fast Fashion

[email protected]_84 , , , , ,

ASOS Results show profit increase of 329% whilst Boohoo September Results profits surged 47% to £449m

ASOS CEO Nick Beighton is concerned about Christmas despite ASOS profits increasing by 329% to £142m in the year to August 31, with group revenue up 19% to £3.26bn. His customers have seen their lives change significantly – less glam swimwear, unicorn inflatables and holidays. Hardly any weddings, cancelled holidays and virtual graduation ceremonies. Yet a lot more sales of pyjamas and leisurewear – especially tops – for all the Zoom calls.

The number of active ASOS customers rose by 3.1 million to 23.4 million as more shoppers turned to online fashion during the pandemic. Yet Beighton will know that there has been a surge in online use and browsing – UK adults spent a quarter of their waking day online during lockdown, and that has intensified the disruption from challenger brands – new and existing.

The e-tailer remains cautious due to uncertainty around golden quarter spending and further concerns about future unemployment amongst its 20- something customer. 

There is much uncertainty across the fashion market regarding spending in the run up to Christmas and ASOS is famed for its partywear, which is popular with its key demographic. 

Following the latest three-tier measures in effect in the UK and tighter restrictions on out-of-home socialising within retail and hospitality venues across several regions, demand for going out clothes may drastically decrease and this is something Beighton says ASOS has considered within its golden quarter buying plan,

“We detuned party gear and going-out gear, particularly dresses and shirts. 

“We’ve dialled up to offer more width in casual wear, sportswear and beauty products, as well as extending our core ranges.”

The fashion e-tailer pivoted its product mix in the second half to cater to demand for popular lockdown categories like loungewear, activewear and health and beauty. With the new tier system in place, the e-tailer may see more fragmented patterns of demand as consumers in different regions find themselves socialising or at home over the festive period. 

Future Fears for Generation Z

The latest ONS figures showed that between June and August 2020, 60% of people who became unemployed were aged 16-24, this is something that Beighton is “very worried about”.

Gen Z expert Jason Dorsey in an interview with CNBC talks about a defining moment for 16-25 year olds: “The pandemic impacts decisions on everything, from where they live, to cars and the type of company they would go to work for.”

And ethics is certainly something that has been a hot-topic for ASOS competitor fast-fashion pureplay Boohoo that also has benefited from a surge in sales due to Covid19.

The retailer, which also includes brands Boohoo Man, PrettyLittleThing, Nasty Gal, Karen Millen, Coast and now Oasis and Warehouse, pivoted its collections to reflect lockdown trends towards products like loungewear.

Boohoo reported that for the six months to August 31

Asos quadruples profits, but shares plunge on ‘cautious’ demand note

[email protected]_84 , , , , , , ,

  • Asos posted a record 329% increase in pretax profit to £142.1 million ($184 million) in the year to August.
  • This was mainly down to it cutting around £50 million ($65 million) of costs.
  • Sales of sportswear, skincare, and makeup also boomed during lockdown.
  • But it said it was “cautious on the outlook for consumer demand” because of pressure on the disposable incomes of its customers, who are mainly in their 20s.
  • Asos shares fell by 9%, set for their largest one-day fall since mid-March.
  • Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.

Asos more than quadrupled its profits in the year to August thanks to cost-cutting measure and a sportswear boom during lockdown, it announced on Wednesday.

But it warned that its target market, people in their 20s, were struggling economically. It was “cautious on the outlook for consumer demand, and will remain so until lifestyles and financial stability for our 20-something customers start to normalize,” it said.

Asos shares fell by 9%, set for their largest one-day fall since mid-March.

The British online fast fashion giant posted a record 329% increase in pretax profit to £142.1 million ($184 million).

This was largely down to cost-cutting measures totaling about £50 million ($65 million), the company said. It did not detail what these measures were, other than better “financial discipline” and operational efficiency.

Costs were also kept down by customers being more deliberate with their purchases during lockdown, leading to an “unusually low” number order returns, it said.

Some product categories also boomed during lockdown. Sales of Asos’ sportswear jumped 50%, and it also sold significantly more makeup and skincare products, it said.

Revenue was up by less than a fifth.

Despite the profit jump, Asos warned of an uncertain future for demand. “Whilst we have confidence in our ability to continue growing our market share globally, we are cognisant of the economic impact this crisis is having on our 20-something customers and the pressure on their disposable incomes,” it said.

Just over a third of Asos’ sales were made in the UK, showing that its overseas popularity continues to grow. Sales in both Australia and the EU were up by more than 20%, and Saudi Arabia revenues grew by over 50%, which Asos credited in part to its strong activity throughout Ramadan.

Revenues in the US were up by 18%, but this growth was driven mainly by strong performance in the six months to February, before the pandemic took hold, Asos said.

US spending didn’t recover from the pandemic at the same speed as other markets, it said, partly because its customers had not received as much financial support from their government as European shoppers. 

The reduction in commercial flights also limited Asos’ ability to transport goods to the US, it added. Its US product range there heavily features occasion wear for weddings, proms, and parties.

Its warehouse capacity had returned
