Asos did not report overall earnings for the quarter.
Total sales for fiscal 2011 were 324.1 million pounds ($526.4 million), up by 58% from 205.5 million pounds ($333.8) in the previous year.
“International sales now represent 57% of the total, up from 51% in the last quarter,” says Nick Robertson, CEO. “Importantly, the transition to our new single warehouse facility in Barnsley was completed during the period, on budget and ahead of schedule. The new financial year has started well and we remain positive in our outlook for 2012, with progress to date in line with expectations.”
Asos moved to a new 530,000-square-foot warehouse in Barnsley, England, last month.
