Farfetch Limited (NYSE: FTCH), the leading global platform for the luxury fashion industry, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Shares of Farfetch Ltd. fell nearly 4% in the extended session Thursday after the luxury fashion platform reported a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss and sales that beat views. Farfetch said it lost $77.7 million, or 26 cents a share, in the first quarter, compared with a loss of $79.2 million, or 24 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Sales rose 90% to $331 million, the company said. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected a loss of 35 cents on sales of $313 million. The company said it is "well capitalized" to continue on the path to adjusted profits for full-year 2021. Investments it made to build its global platform, such as global logistics and a diversified supply network, have been paying off during the coronavirus pandemic, Farfetch said. That enabled "the continuity of our operations and delivery of our strong first quarter 2020 results," the company said. "But one thing that has become evident over the past weeks, is that the world will not go back to the same 'normal' as we knew it pre-COVID-19. As we consider the structural changes that will likely impact the luxury industry, I am confident that our unique set of capabilities position Farfetch to be even stronger in the future," Chief Executive Jose Neves said in a statement. While the pandemic had no "material impact" on first-quarter performance, uncertainty from the evolving crisis prevents the company from providing guidance, it said. Shares of Farfetch ended the regular trading day up 2.1%.
