• Increase was supported by higher order frequency, i.e., more orders placed per active customer, as well as a higher number of active customers

  • Growth driven by a combination of good customer retention and successful customer acquisition
  • Immediate assessment of these measures leads to targeted investments in the product range and for online marketing
  • Stable returns rate indicates high level of customer satisfaction

• Average order value increased due to higher average sales prices and over proportional growth of wheels and tires

Financial update

Q2 2025

Sales revenue increased by 16.0% to €462.3m

Gross profit rose by 17.6% to €199.0m and thereby faster than sales revenue, gross profit margin rose to 43.0% (+60bps)

Adj. EBITDA continued to grow by 8.1% to €46.9m, adj. EBITDA margin at 10.2%, impacted by preparation work for future growth

Rest of Europe 100.5 90.1 11.5%
Total 462.3 398.5 16.0%

France and Spain/Portugal with over-proportionate growth

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%)

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%)

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

Revenue with ongoing growth trajectory

Strong growth contribution from B2B H1

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%)

This Presentation is not directed at, or intended for distribution to or use by, any person or entity that is a citizen or resident or located in any locality, state, country or other jurisdiction where such distribution, publication, availability or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would require any registration or licensing within such jurisdiction.

Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the laws of those jurisdictions.

No representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made by the Company or its affiliates or any of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents ("Representatives") or any other person, and no reliance should be placed on, the fairness, accuracy, completeness or correctness of the information or the opinions contained herein, for any purpose whatsoever. No responsibility, obligation or liability is or will be accepted by the Company or any of its Representatives or any other person in relation to any information provided in this Presentation.

The information in this Presentation is subject to updating, revision, amendment, verification, correction, completion and change without notice. In providing access to this Presentation, none of the Company or any of its Representatives or any other person undertakes any obligation to provide the attendee or recipient with access to any additional information or to update this Presentation or to correct any inaccuracies in any such Presentation, including any financial or market data or forward-looking statements. This Presentation should be considered in the context of the circumstances prevailing at the time and has not been, and will not be, updated to reflect material developments which may occur after the date thereof. None of the Company's its Representatives have independently verified any of this Presentation.

The Presentation and discussion may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "plans", "targets", "aims", "continues", "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "could" or "should" or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Presentation and include statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company's prospects, growth, strategies, industry and potential or ongoing acquisitions. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the development of the Company's prospects, growth, strategies, industry and the effect of acquisitions may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation. In addition, even if the development of the Company's prospects, growth, strategies and industry are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation, those developments may not be indicative of the Company's results, liquidity or financial position or of results or developments in subsequent periods not covered by this Presentation.

Certain industry, market and competitive position data contained in this Presentation comes from third-party sources. Third-party industry publications generally state that the information they contain originates from sources assumed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed and that the calculations contained therein are based on assumptions. While the Company believes that each of these publications, studies and surveys has been prepared by a reputable source, none of the Company, nor any of its Representatives have independently verified the data contained therein. In addition, certain of the industry, market and competitive position data contained in this Presentation comes from the Company's own internal research and estimates based on the knowledge and experience of the Company's management in the markets in which the Company and the other members of the Group operate. While the Company believes that such research and estimates are reasonable, they, and their underlying methodology and assumptions, have not been verified by any independent source for accuracy or completeness and are subject to change and correction without notice. Finally, market studies and analyses are inherently predictive and subject to uncertainty and not necessarily reflective of actual market conditions, are frequently based on information and assumptions that may not be accurate or technically correct, and their methodology may be forward-looking and speculative. Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on any of the industry, market or competitive position data contained in this Presentation.

This Presentation includes certain measures, including, but not limited to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and cash conversion, that are not measures defined by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or Germany and are therefore considered to be "non-IFRS financial measures". These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be used instead of, or considered as alternatives to, a company's historical financial results based on IFRS. There are no generally accepted principles governing the calculation of these non-IFRS financial measures or similar non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, and the criteria upon which these or similar measures are based can vary from company to company. These and similar non-IFRS financial measures, do not provide a sufficient basis to compare a company's performance with that of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit or any other measure as an indicator of operating performance as reported under IFRS.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial measures and ratios included herein. Certain financial information in this Presentation (including percentages) has been rounded according to established commercial standards.
