ASX growth shares that are increasing revenue, achieving higher profit margins, and growing their scale could be potential investment options to consider.
The current volatility may be opening up the opportunity to look at some businesses which are now at a cheaper value than at the start of 2022.
With that in mind, here are two ASX growth shares:
Lovisa Holdings Ltd (ASX: LOV)
The company describes itself as a "fast fashion" jewellery business. It has around 590 global stores across 22 markets.
Lovisa says it is investing in its structures to support future growth. It's seeing "strong" digital growth and it's going to keep investing in its digital operations. The company boasts about having a strong balance sheet, with no debt.
It's going to keep expanding in its current markets such as the US and Europe. During the first half of FY22, it opened 42 net new stores. HY22 also saw sales growth of 36%. It sees opportunities to expand into new markets.
In the first half of FY22, the ASX growth share's revenue rose by 48.3%, while gross profit increased 50.5% and net profit after tax (NPAT) jumped 70.3%. Lovisa said it has a strong focus on efficiencies while building structure to support the next stage of growth.
Growth has continued into the second half of FY22. Comparable store sales were up 12.1% in the first eight weeks of the second half, but total sales were up 61.7%.
The Lovisa share price closed is currently $14.97, 25% lower than it started the year.

It is also investing in its online offering and expanding its online range. It's also reviewing its network plan to assess opportunities "given its sustained market share growth".
