ASOS 關閉亞特蘭大物流中心,重整美國市場策略




ASOS 宣佈關閉亞特蘭大配送中心

ASOS(倫敦證券交易所代碼:ASOS)於週三宣布,計劃在2025年下半年關閉其位於亞特蘭大的配送中心,這標誌著該公司在美國市場物流策略的轉變。

該亞特蘭大站於2018年開業,一直是這家零售商的主要運營樞紐,並且在過去幾年中進行了大量投資,包括一個仍在進行的大規模倉庫自動化項目。

ASOS在一份聲明中表示,關閉將導致約2億英鎊的利潤及損失調整項目,主要與固定資產減值有關。

儘管如此,預計對財政年度的整體財務影響將是基本中性的。

Jefferies的分析師指出,此舉在長期內將帶來預期的好處,ASOS預計在2026財政年度開始將實現每年1000萬至2000萬英鎊的利潤及現金流改善。

這一決定是在2023年關閉英國利奇菲爾德配送中心後作出的,同時該公司也在擴展其“合作夥伴履行”計劃,這是一種利用第三方賣家直接向客戶發貨的履行模式。

ASOS表示:“從2025財政年度下半年起,美國客戶將通過ASOS位於巴恩斯利的自動化英國履行中心以及一個較小、更靈活的本地美國站點獲取服務。”

這些變化預計將提高運營效率,同時降低開支。

雖然ASOS對美國市場仍持樂觀態度,稱其為“機遇”,但關閉亞特蘭大配送中心的決定突顯了該公司在該地區面臨的挑戰。

Jefferies的分析師認為這是一種撤退,ASOS在此過程中寫下了一部分已投資資本的損失。

這一決策與公司持續專注於優化成本結構和提高盈利能力的策略相一致,但也引發了對其美國業務短期內可擴展性問題的質疑。

ASOS堅稱對美國市場的承諾依然強勁,指出推出合作夥伴履行計劃和建立較小的本地站點是其在該地區增長野心的關鍵推動力。

然而,這樣一個高調設施的關閉反映了零售商在應對國際擴張複雜性方面的顯著重新調整。

對於利益相關者而言,這一發展既是警惕也是機會。雖然短期影響可能是中性的,但長期的財務收益和運營效率預計將加強ASOS的整體地位。

然而,這一關閉也突顯了在競爭激烈且不可預測的零售環境中維持高成本基礎設施的內在挑戰。

RBC Capital Markets的分析師在一份報告中表示:“我們認為這反映了保護單位經濟的重點,考慮到非常競爭的環境,我們預計這一策略將持續下去。”

“隨著盈利能力成為優先考慮,增長投資可能會受到一定程度的限制,這可能會對2025財政年度後的增長造成潛在損害,”RBC補充道。

這篇文章的內容強調了在全球化背景下,零售商面臨的複雜挑戰,以及在追求盈利與增長之間的微妙平衡。ASOS的決策雖然短期內看似保守,但卻是對未來市場不確定性的謹慎應對。在競爭日益激烈的環境中,企業如何調整其運營策略以保持盈利能力,將成為未來商業成功的關鍵。

A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel, true-to-life portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference). Create a portrait of a  fair-skinned woman with long, curly dark hair styled in a high ponytail, her head turned to the side, her expression neutral and serene; her makeup features defined eyebrows, subtle eyeliner, light blush, and glossy lips; she wears dangling earrings with a floral design; she has a piercing in her ear; the image is in ultra-high 8K resolution, showcasing detailed skin textures, crisp edges, and sharp focus on her eyes; a medium shot, taken from the side to emphasize her profile, with a shallow depth of field that softly blurs the background; soft, diffused lighting illuminates her face evenly, creating subtle shadows and highlights, with a warm color palette of soft browns and creams; she is wearing a dark strapless top; the background is a soft, neutral tone, ensuring the focus remains on the subject; no additional props are present; photorealistic style, akin to a raw camera capture, is achieved using an 85mm lens, ISO 100, and an aperture of f/2.0 for a shallow depth of field and soft background blur.

Create a photorealistic image of uploaded photo sitting at a relaxed outdoor restaurant in London on a cool Wednesday morning in March 2026. The sky is clear, the spring air is crisp, and the city feels calm as it wakes up. She is the focal point of the shot—wearing a light scarf, gently stirring her tea while gazing off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Everything behind her, from the waiter moving about to the soft morning traffic, should fall into a smooth blur, giving the picture the effortless, candid atmosphere of a moment casually snapped on a phone.
