15 July 2021 ASOS delivers another strong trading performance against backdrop of increased volatility ASOS today announces trading for the four months to 30 June 2021 ( " P3 " ) . Revenue growth in the period was strong , against a backdrop of continued restrictions on consumers , volatile demand and increased global supply chain pressures . This performance reflects continued progress against our strategic priorities and strong growth in our customer base . Trading in the last three weeks of the period was more muted , as continued COVID uncertainty and inclement weather , particularly in the UK , impacted market demand . We anticipate a measure of volatility to continue in the near term , given the rapidly evolving COVID situation worldwide . As a result , we expect our underlying P4 growth rate to be broadly in line with the prior year comparable period . We expect overall full year adjusted PBT to be in line with our expectations . £ m¹ UK retail sales ASOS plc ( " the Company " ) Trading Statement for the four months ended 30 June 2021 The global opportunity for ASOS to grow in our targeted markets is greater than ever .
