Studio Retail Group PLC said Monday that its board is exploring a range of options to meet its increased working capital funding requirements.

The London-listed online value retailer said that higher stock levels and larger-than-usual stock commitments have led to a rise in its working capital requirements, and that discussing the current level of its working capital facilities with its U.K. lenders is among its options.

The company said that it has identified a higher-than-usual level of good-quality stock due to supply-chain challenges and higher shipping costs, and that market demand is anticipated to soften as it goes into the fourth quarter with higher stock levels.

"This is further compounded by commitments to current and future season stock needing to be made earlier than normal due to ongoing nervousness in supply chains," the company said.

Studio Retail said it expects supply-chain disruptions to continue through 2022 and that other inflationary pressures will make it take a more stringent approach to operating costs in fiscal 2023.

The company said it was also considering other controllable actions to increase its short-term liquidity and that it currently has a fully drawn 50 million-pound ($67 million) revolving credit facility.
