Total 462.3 398.5 16.0%

France and Spain/Portugal with over-proportionate growth

{11}------------------------------------------------

Strong growth on Group level

Mainly driven by increase in number of orders and order frequency, price increases with low impact

  • Sales revenue grew strongly driven by higher number of orders and increased order frequency, customer retention remains on pleasing level, returns rate continues to be low at 8.4%
  • Gross profit increased on the back of sales revenue growth with increased gross profit margin due to enhanced purchase price conditions with suppliers and permanent optimisation of pricing
  • Adj. EBITDA decreased due to overproportioned increase of S&D driven by the roll-out of B2B and build up of services agents as well as the ramp-up costs in Belgium and admin staff while marketing costs grew less than sales revenue and gross profit
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 10.2% (Q2 2024: 10.9%)

{12}------------------------------------------------

Continued growth in B2C

Growth driven by more customers and higher order values

  • Sales revenue increased strongly based on more customers and higher order values
  • Gross profit grew faster than sales revenue due to an under-proportionate COGS growth from optimised pricing leading to improved gross profit margin of 43.4% (Q2 2024: 42.6%)
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew in line with sales revenue despite higher distribution expenses driven by higher number of blue-collar workers, stable administrative expenses
  • NR&R mainly influenced by strategic projects
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin remained stable at 11.7% (Q2 2024: 11.7%)

{13}------------------------------------------------

Accelerated growth in B2B

Growth driven by further roll-out

  • Sales revenue mainly driven by ongoing growth in France as well as roll-out to Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Austria
  • Gross profit grew slightly faster than sales revenue as COGS increased at a slower pace due to optimised pricing, leading to a slightly improved gross profit margin of 38.6% (Q2 2024: 38.3%)
  • Distribution expenses increased stronger than sales revenue due to higher fulfilment expenses in connection with packaging cost and personnel expenses
  • Administrative expenses went up due to higher personnel expenses
  • NR&R comprised strategic projects
  • Negative adjusted EBITDA increased under proportional to sales revenue growth
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to -9.2% (Q2 2024: -9.7%)

Further details

Commentary

  • Rise in distribution expenses partially driven by:
  • Higher personnel costs as the number of employees increased to support B2B roll-out
  • Increased fulfilment costs due to higher shipment costs and ramp-up of Belgian warehouse
  • Rise in administrative expenses due to increase of workforce for growth strategy
  • Number of employees increased by 15.3% to 5,575 (Q2 2024: 4,835)
  • Operating results margin therefore reduced by 1.3pps to 4.6% (Q2 2024: 5.9%)
  • Financial result remains low due to nearly debt-free balance sheet
  • Net profit continued to grow

P&L

Significantly increased profit

Commentary

  • Sales revenue growth driven by +13.3% order growth, +4.6% AOV growth & +0.6% mixed effect
  • Slower COGS increase driven by enhancement of purchase price conditions due to regular negotiations with suppliers and by the ongoing and permanent optimisation of sales pricing
  • Under-proportionate growth in COGS resulted in a higher gross profit growth and an increase of gross profit margin by 0.3pps to 42.5% (H1 2024: 42.2%)
  • Rise in distribution expenses partially driven by higher personnel costs as the number of employees increased to support B2B roll-out and increased fulfilment costs due to higher shipment costs and ramp-up of Belgian warehouse
  • Administrative expenses increased due to higher headcount as well as one-off expenses in conjunction with IPO project
  • Operating result profited from strong Q1, while Q2 temporarily affected by ramp-up costs for new warehouse in Belgium and B2B roll-out, operating results margin therefore increased by only 0.1pps to 4.6% (H1 2024: 4.5%)
