member of the DHL Group for net proceeds of £48m (or c.13% of the ASOS market

Shwetha Ramachandran

capitalisation). The asset was already fully impaired, so there is no impact on Research Associate

adjusted EBITDA but it will see a further £6m p.a. cash savings per year related to

adjustments to liabilities.

which is being fulfilled from the global inventory pool. We see the reduction in net

debt as an important step alongside the improvement in LFL sales (DBe -3% in 2H ASOS – (Rebased)

from -14% in 1H) for investors to revisit the ASOS investment case.
