Dec 9 (Reuters) - UK online furniture retailer Made.com (MADE.L) said on Thursday increased supply chain disruptions were expected to delay up to 45 million pounds ($59.41 million) of revenue to 2022, hitting its current year forecasts. Worsening industry-wide supply chain disruptions in recent months were negatively impacting the timing of stock intake and as a result deferring a greater proportion of its revenue to early 2022, the London-based company said, adding that demand still remained strong.Liberum analysts expect the delayed revenues to only have a phasing impact and said the continued strong demand seen by the company in the second half of 2021 despite continuing high lead times and shipping delays, reflects positively on the strength of the brand. Retailers across the globe have been grappling with supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic, with Britain additionally coping with post-Brexit changes that have exacerbated a shortage of truck drivers.The online-focussed company, which has some showrooms in the UK and Europe, said it has built stock positions to deliver significantly better lead times to consumers for 2022 and beyond, as orders placed with suppliers are now in or close to its warehouses. Made.com, which reiterated its guidance for gross sales growth of 40% year-on-year, now expects revenue for 2021 to be 365 million pounds to 375 million pounds, down from 410 pounds estimated earlier. It forecast a core loss of 12 million pounds to 15 million pounds, while raising its 2022 guidance by the same amount.
