At the same time, the company published the results for the fiscal year, which ended on August 31. The company's revenue rose 20% to £3.9bn, with gross profit up 15% to £1.8bn.
Sales were up 19%, but ASOS management warned that sales should slow to 10-15% in the current half year amid supply chain problems, which made it "harder to meet consumer demand".
In addition, the company reports higher costs in freight, post-Brexit duties, the cost of shipping goods outside the UK, and labour. ASOS shares have reacted to these forecasts with a 14 per cent fall. They have already lost 40% since the start of the year.
