Boohoo Group achieved revenue of £100m within two years of buying Nasty Gal.

Boohoo Group has 9 brands. Boohoo, BoohooMan, Prettylittlething, Nasty Gal, MissPap, Karen Millen, Coast, Oasis and Warehouse.

Boohoo Group's revenue for Boohoo brand for 2020 was £600m, Prettylittlething was £500m and Nasty Gal was £100m. The Boohoo brand went from £100m revenue in 2015 to £600m revenue in 2020, i.e. in 5 years.

Boohoo reported "very strong" first quarter trading despite the Covid-19 pandemic, as it also unveiled two acquisitions.

Revenue was up 45% in the three months to May 31 at GBP367.8 million, with UK revenue up 30% at GBP183.0 million and sales in the rest of Europe surging 66% to GBP63.4 million. US sales rose 79% to GBP92.0 million, and Rest of World sales grew 22% to GBP29.4 million.

"The group entered the year with sustained momentum from a strong finish to its previous financial year. Trading in the middle of March through to early April was mixed, as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, initially with a marked decrease in year-on-year growth. Performance across all of our brands and geographies improved throughout April, with a robust performance delivered in May," the online clothing retailer said.

Looking out, Boohoo expects to deliver another year of "strong profitable growth", and ahead of market expectations. Revenue growth is expected at 25% for the current financial year, with an adjusted Ebitda margin of 9.5% to 10%.

Alongside the trading update, Boohoo announced the acquisition of the online businesses and all associated intellectual property of Oasis and Warehouse for GBP5.3 million in cash from Hilco Capital. Administrators were called in for the two brands back in April. Deloitte at the time said that all stores would close indefinitely and online sales would be stopped.

Boohoo up nearly 10% already at 425p

Wow, what a finish for Boohoo today - 389.30p, up 17.60p, up 4.74%

Currently valued at about £4.6bn, Boohoo’s share price has risen more than 20 per cent in the last year. It is expected to report a sizeable rise in revenue in its results this week, and will hold its annual general meeting on Friday.

Fro going up today when everything else has taken a battering.

Market trends to fastest charging, providing pulse power, safe transport, no expensive materials and no issues of disposal are increasingly favouring supercapacitors over batteries.

Supercapacitors are a curiously neglected aspect of electronics and electrical engineering with a multi-billion dollar market rapidly emerging.

Supercapacitors and supercabatteries mainly have properties intermediate between those of batteries and traditional capacitors but they are being improved more rapidly than either. That includes improvement in cost and results in them not just being used to enhance batteries but even replacing batteries and capacitors in an increasing number of applications from renewable energy down to microscopic electronics. For example, your mobile phone may have better sound and flash that works at ten times the distance because a supercapacitor has taken over these functions from conventional capacitors.

Use of supercapacitors to protect batteries against fast charge and discharge and from deep discharge means smaller batteries are needed and they last longer, depressing battery demand and increasing supercapacitor demand.

The bottom line is that almost everywhere you see next generation electronic and power technology you see supercapacitors and supercabatteries being fitted or planned because of superior performance, cost-over-life and fit-and-forget.

Lithium-ion has been added to the list of pollutants.

Although batteries are required to help tackle climate change, this cannot be achieved without a fundamental change in the way materials are sourced and this technology is produced and used.

In the EU as few as 5% of lithium-ion batteries are recycled. This has an environmental cost. Not only do the batteries carry a risk of giving off toxic gases if damaged, but core ingredients such as lithium and cobalt are finite and extraction can lead to water pollution and depletion among other environmental consequences.

With the growing demand for renewable energy and issues relating to energy storage, there is a rising question behind building huge banks of Lithium Ion batteries.

We all know that those batteries have a limited lifetime, but as well as consuming precious raw materials they’re not easy to recycle and there’s the associated environmental risks.

Safety is another benefit of supercapacitors. Supercapacitor technology is moving extremely fast. The challenges posed by the energy storage issue is most probably the area where we will see the most immediate benefits being implemented in supercapacitors.

Battery technology and supercap technology are both advancing tremendously. The ordinary person doesn't understand the difference between pulsed energy and constant. It's up to manufacturers to do this. This is about getting people to understand what supercaps can do for batteries. There will come a time when supercaps can be used for constant as well as pulsed energy. This is about educating people about supercaps.

On a quiet day spread the word on all your social media networks - Supercaps can double the lifetime of batteries. This also helps the planet and saves on waste too. We need to educate everyone on this so supercaps are used with batteries by manufacturers in all their products.

The CAP-XX share price bid and ask still at 3p and 3.30p. Holding up well considering all the global markets and share prices have been hit badly today.

ITM were 9p in 2009 so anybody who bought then and held till now has made a great return. ITM now 332p.

And, loads of research is also needed along with instinct. It's the research that gives you the confidence to buy the share and then keeping up to date with the share gives you the confidence to hold.

Boohoo Group’s local manufacturing, nimble logistics and e-commerce makes it a success.

A future of shopping where face masks, limited store access and distancing will stand to push consumers online in ever greater numbers.

Having a strong balance sheet also means Boohoo Group can continue to invest in failing brands and turn them around within two years.

There are some key factors to success for the fashion industry. A strong online presence, lean stock holding, agility and products that connect with the customer. The Boohoo Group has all these factors in play.
