Ao is poised to report a 20% increase in UK revenues during its current quarter of trading after sales from the Ao.com site rocketed more than 30%.

The online electricals retailer will provide the sales update today as it hosts a Capital Markets Day for investors and analysts at the retailer’s head office in Bolton.

The sales figures will come as a welcome boost to Ao.com shareholders after the etailer was forced to issue a profit warning following its flotation last year, blaming a drop off in publicity following its high-profile float as the reason behind its sales growth suffering.

Ao.com boss John Roberts said it has found market conditions in the UK increasingly hard due to a resurgent Dixons Carphone.

But at the Capital Markets Day, chief financial officer Mark Higgins will tell analysts that “long-term strategic progress of the business is on track” and that he expects “overall revenue to increase year on year by 20% to 21%” for the quarter ended September 30.

Ao.com will publish its interim results for the six-month period ending September 30 on November 24.
