State of Westwing

We improved profitability significantly in absence of scale effects.

  • Revenue decline of 1% year-over-year (yoy) due to shifts in product assortment.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 9 million at 8% margin (+3pp yoy) driven by 2024 complexity reduction and cost discipline.
  • Free cash flow of EUR -9 million and end of Q1 net cash of EUR 57 million, impacted by temporary inventory increase.
  • Net working capital of EUR -2 million at the end of Q1.

We are confirming our FY 2025 guidance.

  • Revenue of EUR 425 million to EUR 455 million (-4% to +2% yoy growth).
  • Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 25 million to EUR 35 million (+6% to +8% adjusted EBITDA margin).

We are continuing to implement our 3-step value creation plan with a focus on expansion.

  • Our country expansion is fully on track with the successful launch of Sweden in April 2025.
  • We continued our store expansion with the recent opening of a new store-in-store at Printemps in Paris, France.

We successfully completed the first two phases of our 3-step plan
