Gross profit for fiscal 2021 was £1,247.9 million (£1,640.5 million). Operating profit fell to £444.5 million (£854.3 million).
 
“I believe that in difficult times there is a clearer separation between the stronger corporate performers and the weaker ones.  This result is due to the formation of a good management team and the establishment of robust processes during less volatile periods,” Michael Roney, chairman at Next, said in a press release.
 
During FY21, company’s online sales jumped 10 per cent to £2,368.4 million (£2,146.6 million). Whereas, retail sales plunged 48 per cent to £954.5 million (£1,851.9 million).
