Farfetch profited USD 97 million in the last three months of last year, including “USD217 million non-cash benefit arising from impact of lower share price on items held at fair value and remeasurements.”
In the fourth quarter, revenues grew 23% to USD 666 million. For the year as a whole, the company’s revenues grew 35% year-over-year to a total of USD 2.3 billion.
