Receipts from customers were up 232 per cent on the previous quarter to $3.6 million (up from $1.1 million); this increase was driven largely by sales from Your Home Depot and Warcom which were acquired in mid-June 2014.
Net operating cash outflow for the September quarter was $0.6 million following significant investment in staff and advertising, reflective of the increased size of the Shoply business with Your Home Depot and Warcom now fully integrated. The Company also invested in inventory, increasing it by 20%, to support the Christmas sales period.
During the quarter $0.4m of annualised operating costs were removed from the Company through the reduced reliance on contracted services and migrating the Wow Baby (wowbaby.com.au) and Toy Store (toystore.com.au) operations to NSW. The benefits of these savings will be realised over the coming quarters.
Net investing cash outflow for the quarter was $0.1 million, which was invested in the redevelopment of the Your Home Depot web and mobile sites. The new mobile sites will be released in November 2014.
Cash at bank as at 30 September 2014 was $2.9m.
The Company is also very pleased to have appointed Mr Graeme Lay as Chief Financial Officer during September. Mr Lay is a Certified Practicing Accountant with a MBA (Deakin University). He has 26 years of accounting experience in a variety of industries and has prior experience in an ASX listed company as CFO and Company Secretary.
Outlook
During the September quarter and in the current quarter, Shoply has been further developing and integrating the customer facing online stores and consolidating its backend operations to prepare for Christmas and anticipated strong continued growth.
Shoply building momentum
Shoply’s strategy to become a leading Australian online shopping company continues to build momentum with another quarter of significant revenue growth. The Company remains committed to an aggressive growth plan, through both organic and acquisition opportunities in targeted market segments.
Another quarter of record growth anticipated
The current quarter is expected to be a significant period for Shoply, with sales volumes anticipated to achieve record levels in the weeks immediately prior to Christmas. The Company is prepared and well positioned for the expected increased level of activity.

Relaunch of YourHomeDepot.com.au web and mobile sites
Approximately 50 per cent of customers shopping at YourHomeDepot.com.au are doing so from a mobile device. Shoply will be relaunching YourHomeDepot.com.au to enable it to support the increasingly varied mobile devices through which consumers are shopping. These changes will make purchasing on mobile devices simpler and is expected to have a positive impact on revenue.
Pursuing further acquisitions
Shoply continues to explore the market for further suitable acquisition opportunities in targeted market segments.
Shoply CEO Simon Crean said “We remain very excited about the growth prospects for Shoply. The focus going forward will continue to be on growing revenues, whilst also investing in the business to achieve further scale. We look forward to providing shareholders an update following the Christmas period.”
