ASOS CEO Nick Beighton said: "These are a strong set of results, showing great progress across the business.
"International growth of 54 per cent has been excellent, with the Rest of the World segment a stand-out performer.
"Customer acquisition, up 29 per cent, takes our active customers to over 14million.
"We passed the five-million active customer mark in the UK, where we have shown solid sales growth of 18 per cent in a more promotional market.
