In FY21, active customers increased 285% to 114,830, reflecting the strength of Cettire’s customer acquisition and retention. Repeat customers accounted for 40% of gross revenues (FY20: 26%), with higher average spend per order and increased order frequency for this customer group.
Reported gross revenue grew 333% to $124.5 million and sales revenue grew 304% to $92.4 million, driven by strong order growth, new customer acquisition and increasing revenue per customer.

Business update
Cettire is continuing to invest in its proprietary technology platform, enhance its supply relationships and improve customer experience in line with the Company’s ambition to be a leading global platform for all members in the luxury value chain.
In August 2021, Cettire launched its proprietary e-commerce storefront software, which will provide new capabilities to support the Company’s global expansion. Transitioning to the proprietary storefront is a key priority over the coming year.
Other near term technology priorities include the development of greater localisation features in selected markets, a mobile app and continued investment in AI and brand experience. These enhancements are expected to drive greater automation, improve customer experience and support increased conversion rates to drive accelerated growth in sales revenue over time.
Cettire is also pleased to confirm it has commenced direct partnerships with brand owners.[6]
Cettire’s Founder & CEO, Dean Mintz, said:
"Whilst it is still very early in the development of our direct relationships with brand owners, this represents a natural progression of our business. We are excited by the potential of working directly with additional brand owners to complement our existing supply chain."
Strong start to FY22, and positive growth outlook
Cettire's positive trading momentum has continued into FY22, with July 2021 unaudited gross revenue increasing 181% on July 2020.
Commenting on the Company’s strong start to FY22 and positive growth outlook, Mr Mintz, said:
“There is a significant market penetration opportunity ahead for Cettire. A key objective in pursuing our IPO was to unlock new and incremental growth opportunities, and the results over the past 12 months have proven our ability to deliver on our strategy.
"Our growth trajectory has continued in FY22, with a strong July. Our number one priority is to maximise the global revenue potential of the Company by taking a long term view. We will continue to invest in opportunities aligned to our strategy, with a near term focus on customer acquisition, technology enhancements and building organisational capability.
"Our focus in FY22 is on continuing to enhance our customer proposition, centred around our vast range of luxury products, value and rapid fulfilment, all of which are enabled by our deep and diverse supply chain and world class, proprietary technology."
