I can see that it’s a solid business that has been managed conservatively over the years - personally a turnaround should be quite simple as this is a business with exceptional online presence driving solid sales and growth therefore obviously the primary focus should be reviewing the weak leak that is dragging down their online performance - its not rocket science
Sensibly they have a fair few concessions that have limited liability but they have increased their stand alone stores although they have limited their long term exposure by negotiating short term leases where possible - can’t see it’s necessary to have 71 stores and 169 concessions - BooHoo have zero stores
Simples - review the physical estate (standalone stores/concessions) review third party relationships to boost sales and finally keep doing what they’re doing as their active online customer base continues to grow rapidly so customers obviously like the product
They’ve recently launched their largest occasionwear collection LA Luxe which should do well as we approach the prom season, weddings etc - this is where they are at their best
Approx £9m net cash
Looks good to me
