HEADLINES

● In the thirteen weeks to 30 April, full-price sales1 were up +21.3% versus last year, in line with our guidance for this period.

FULL-PRICE SALES PERFORMANCE BY BUSINESS CHANNEL

Full-price sales versus last year are set out below

Last year, most of our Retail stores were shut for the majority of the first quarter, which is why Retail growth is so strong at +285%.

Conversely, last year Online sales were boosted by Retail closures, which is why we planned Online sales to be down in the first quarter against last year.

Online sales three years ago remained strong and were up +47% versus 2019/20.

The three-year growth of +19.5% is the equivalent of a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of +6.1%.
