3:34 am
looking at this, i said to you earlier, is down 10%. why? >> a brutal day once again. it seems to be about the full year 2015. this year we got four quarter updates and sales up 15%. that was the estimate. the u.k. seems to be standing out there in 33% increase in terms of sales. they're still adding more customers. the problem is a are having to invest a lot at the moment. they have to improve their inventory, their infrastructure. the way you do that is you sacrifice profits. 2015 profits will be flat compared to this year. analysts thought they would rise by 30%. that is why you're seeing all these downgrades from analysts. the share price is likely to continue to pummel. -- tumble. they had a fire in their
3:35 am
distribution center. 20% of the goods were ruined by the sprinklers and the fire. they couldn't make the orders. this has been a torrid june. at the share price, two thirds wiped off year to date. that is 3 billion pounds lost in the market capitalization. that is brutal if you are an investor. >> the action in the stock market is brutal as well. what are analysts saying about next year? many analystsly, have said this company is still a by going forward. the share price dip is already up why 60%. many have said this company still provides a tying opportunity. this is a long time that. over the last decade it has had a phenomenal ride. up 1000%.
3:36 am
this is a company investing for its future. that means in the short term we will not see a 30% uptick. it will seem flat at 45 million pounds for the next year. the chief executive keep saying, bear with us. this is a company that needs its place and action. is a phenomenal company to go and look at. it has been what many companies look to to see how you managed to to get this quick turnaround. the next say in your home you tried on and look it back sash -- send it back. they have been on the edge of e-commerce. they have tailored themselves to the chinese as well. an incredible way that they have made it for each country. it is a long-term bet.
3:37 am
next year they won't see much improvement. huge backslapping morning. down 12%. the founding director at needs capital ewings us. -- joins us. .> this stock is down 17% will we get back to those highs again? >> in some ways this is a speed bump in the road and in some ways this is reality checking in. this back is some of these internet stocks that have done well have come from a good place but have had unrealistic expectations. part of this as caroline said they are and investing in the future, what part of it is sadly that competition always finds a way. the online space for clothing is more crowded than it used to be. the traditional players are fighting back. you have lots of internet your
3:38 am
plays as well. asosa sauce has found -- has found, and in the u.k., is that it takes a lot of money internationally to build the awareness you have in the u.k.. you have to build your awareness. against you, your products become expensive. you have to invest behind reising and promotions to build that awareness. more recently they realized that shipping is an issue. they used to have free shipping , that cost money. they have to build up shipping costs. a lot of it is realizing that the margin they had is not really as rosie. bitt has come back a little since a last quarter. let's talk about shipping. when i was a student i would shop on this website all of the time.
3:39 am
because shipping was free and so were returns. how much is it a game changer to charge for this? we need to see what happens overseas with these charges. there is a huge psychology behind this. people are willing to accept a price increase in return for free shipping. people love free shipping in america, here or anywhere. it is a game changer. we are talking 15 quit in the u.k. or 25 euros. it is not a huge by but something to watch. consumers don't like aim for shipping. , one thing you have seen with this business, with the internet it is so easy to i something that it doesn't fit and you send it back. intohas to be incorporated the market structure of a clothing retailer. these online retailers are a lower margin than in-store
3:40 am
retailers. yet their returns tend to be twice as high as in-store. the margin structure needs to incorporate that and i don't think it does. >> consumers don't like shipping fees. investors do not like an outlook that shows profits flat on the year. how do they turn this around? >> the key question has to be if we can get convinced that the large part of today has to do with internal investments to get their awareness up. trueis the first really that has online brand built a profile in america and europe. if they can convince you that the pricing issues have to do with sterling and to accelerate awareness in overseas markets, there is a lot of hope there. my concern is that this speaks at this stage to catching up to
3:41 am
the fact that prices have gotten out of kilter, awareness isn't as rate, and other things are dated. heavily investing the business to grow the scope. be reinvesting to re-accelerate and give more momentum. it seems more defensive. >> this is one side of the market. we will talk about burberry. the fan showcased its latest look on london fashion week. it was the first show with its new ceo. mr. christopher bailey. isasked of his major concern taking risks on the runway or bottom line? >> the two are indistinguishable. the key issues that we move forward and do new things and have innovation. and we create something we our customersthat
3:42 am
get excited and inspired. >> is the pressure growing? >> it is always a thing. the runway is something where you have 12 minutes to inspire people. sometimes that means you might do something unexpected and other times the feeling in the world means you want to do something more familiar. this business is about feeling and emotion and that has to turn into something tangible. >> which is what? >> emotion that turns into something tangible. >> technology are doing something here. twitter and instagram. is it turning into an arms race? are you becoming better known for technology? >> it is indistinguishable today. a company can't just live in a middle sideload world.
3:43 am
technology is hugely important that as his music and craftsmanship. it is really about being curious as an organization in making sure that things are happening and that you you play and experiment and build partnerships. that can sometimes be with craftspeople, it can sometimes be with technology. raul is still with us. you listen to christopher bailey there. is it too early to assess his performance in that role during -- role? >> i think it is. there is quite a lot for one person to do here in terms -- and that judgment really comes nine months down the road when we definitively have only his imprint on the business. >> his welcome wasn't particularly welcoming.
3:44 am
investors added by rejecting his pay. he doubled sales in eight years. them to doct anything near that performance? i think it was largely a brand that was taken from to the highest echelons of luxury and that itself involved both repositioning the brand and the whole technology thing needs to be celebrated. compared to everyone else and luxury they are light years apart in terms of social media and their own website. repositionedly this brand to a much longer -- younger luxury consumer just something other brands struggle with. there is still a lot of good work to be done. luxury is a growth market. it more than any other time, is harder to keep on top because the consumer is changing. >> final question.
3:45 am
burberry, two different companies, which would you rather hold? >> i like burberry. consumers are looking for exclusivity and newness. what you're seeing with burberry is they are delivering more newness technology and i think as a result the end customer is much more protected. and much competition more product competition. whenll believe the answer i see it. thank you for joining us. next on "on the move." a telecom tie up. what could be orange must exist acquisition. ♪ >> we are watching two telecoms

3:48 am
this morning because france's orange has made a 3.5 billion euro acquisition. up 6%. let's bring in the man who knows the deal. matt campbell. telecome after a company or a little bit of spain? >> it is really old. one is fixed mobile convergence. everyone with a cellular network
3:49 am
once increasingly a fixed line network. it helps you sell quadruple play packages and because you can back all your data that requires expensive over the air infrastructure down into the ground which makes it cheaper. spain is rebounding, it is one of the fast growing economies in europe and orange wants to increase its bid. >> orange down a little bit today. selling 2 billion euros in equity and they will issue hybrid debt. this is a bit more than was expected in terms of the capital aree, the orange's shares only down a bit. it seems like investors are willing to support this growth. theaw that with anglo gold other day that unexpected capital rates can turn investors away. >> perhaps referred -- certain
3:50 am
few of those companies it has been a long time coming. and telecom we have seen this a lot in the last 12 months. m&a to come even though we have seen so much? think we have seen less consolidation on the mobile side which is what everyone expected, as relative to convergence between six and mobile. we have seen convergence by vodafone in germany and spain. we may see something in the u.k.. between that angle and the general trend of consolidation which everyone does expect will come through, it will remain a busy sector. >> can it get the job done? >> i think it looks like it will. the chairman has already contributed his share to the deal, so we will have to see. the shares are trading just below the price currently. 12.78 since you and i spoke.
