July 14 (Reuters) - British online electricals retailer AO World on Tuesday posted a smaller annual loss on stronger demand since the lockdown in March, as stay-at-home orders to curb the COVID-19 pandemic boosted online shopping.
AO, which sells washing machines, fridges, cookers, televisions and mobile phones, reported an operating loss of 3.8 million pounds ($4.77 million) for the year ended March 31, compared with a loss of 13 million pounds last year.
