Plus-size retailer City Chic has seen total revenue rise by 7.1% for the half year to $75.4 million.
The brand was part of Specialty Fashion Group stable, which included loss-making brands Millers, Katies and Crossroads.
The brands were sold off to womenswear giant Noni B for $31 million last July.
Since going out on its own, City Chic has seen its profits rise 35% to $9.85 million for the six months to December 30, 2018.
City Chic MD said the brand delivered strong top-line growth globally and at higher margins.
“Trade was consistently strong throughout the half, including over the Christmas period."
Proceeds from the brand divestments in July lifted the group's net cash position at December 30 to $35.5 million.
This is compared $16.1 million at the end of FY18.
The retailer is now focussed on expanding its eCommerce business, rolling out larger format stores and building its range across new product categories.
City Chic operates 104 stores in Australia and New Zealand, opening five new outlets during the period and closing eight Myer concessions.
City Chic has also identified 30 new store locations in Australia.
It is distributed globally via Nordstrom, Macy's and online fashion platforms Asos and Zalando.
