ASOS confirmed completion of the sale of its logistics centre in Atlanta, generating net proceeds of around £48m and a one-off pre-tax gain of about £78m. The deal is also expected to deliver annual cost savings of roughly £6m; the lease was assigned to a global consumer brand and the automation equipment was sold to a company in the DHL Group. CEO Jose Antonio Ramos Calamonte described the sale as contributing to balance-sheet strengthening, business simplification and disciplined capital allocation. Along with the earlier sale of the distribution centre in Lichfield, the transaction reduces net debt and improves the free cash flow outlook for the second half of fiscal 2026. » Más en de.investing.com
