Investment has been made in IT and <strong>e-commerce sales have increased 18.5%<\/strong> in the first half of this year. It is also planning to continue with investments in physical stores with<strong> 24 new stores and concessions planned for the UK and Europe<\/strong> in the 2017\/18 financial year.<\/p>\n<p>In the first half of the year the group, fuelled by Oasis, delivered <strong>like-for-like\u00a0sales up 4.9% in the first half<\/strong>. During the last financial year Oasis achieved an\u00a0EBITDA performance of \u00a311.9m, up from \u00a38.7m in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Kaupthing CEO Paul Copley said: \"We have been in a sale process for the last few months and <strong>can confirm today that we have withdrawn from that process<\/strong>. We feel that the market does not currently recognise the value we see in the businesses. We are under no pressure to sell the brands and we look forward to working with their management team to generate value for our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":130972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10585,6,10494],"tags":[10760,12039,12259,10761,11814,35,9690],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Updated: Kaupthing confirms it has called off sale of Oasis, Warehouse and Coast - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Icelandic bank Kaupthing has confirmed that is has called of the potential sale of high street fashion chains Oasis, Warehouse and Coast.
