After spending lockdown fighting a bitter inter-family feud, Britain’s Barclay brothers have seen one of their biggest assets turn the corner.
Craig, The Billionaire Behind Craigslist, Is Spending Nearly $200 Million To Save Journalism, Beat President Trump And End Information WarfareVery.co.uk, the online department store born out of Shop Direct, which itself was created out of a merger with Littlewoods, announced during Friday’s trading update that a 65% increase in website traffic had driven “exceptional” retail sales growth of 36% in the three months through June.
Very has not yet disclosed net profits or loss. The group said it expects EBIDTA will be between $333 million and $353 million for fiscal 2020. While losses last year hit $222 million.Howard Barclay Henry Birch, Very Group CEO, said in a statement, “As in the financial crisis, our business model proved adaptable and resilient in the face of volatile conditions and changing consumer buying patterns.
“Extending credit,” or buying items on credit, typically at annualized interest rates of 39.9% , Hyman adds, “is about risk. [For] many retailers the credit offering is a bolt on and their expertise is in retailing. Very has got finance and managing credit and risk at the very heart of their skill set.
On the group’s liabilities, Hyman says that although “having a lot of debt is never good, having some debt is fine in a cash generative business.” He says Very’s leadership is now “in a pretty good position” to start addressing the problem.
