In the first three months of financial year 2019, consolidated revenue came to EUR 93.2m, up 10% y-o-y. Adjusted for foreign currency effects, revenue grew 12% y-o-y. Revenue growth was primarily driven by the higher number of active customers and orders placed. This positive effect was partly offset by a decline in the average order value (–6% when adjusted for foreign currency effects) during the reporting period.

As of March 31, 2019, home24 had a total of 1.4m active customers, compared to 1.1m as of March 31, 2018. The number of orders placed during the first three months of 2019 increased by 22% to 0.6m compared to the prior-year period. The market environment has been more challenging compared to the prior-year period, which had tangible effects on customer demand and is reflected in lower online market growth y-o-y. Nevertheless, compared to the strong first quarter of 2018 home24 has achieved solid revenue growth in the current financial year, primarily as a result of significant investments in the acquisition of new customers.

Revenue less cost of sales results in gross profit. In the first three months of 2019, the Group posted a gross profit of EUR 40.6m, up +7% from EUR 37.9m in the first three months of 2018. The increase is in line with the growth in revenue. The gross profit margin fell by 1 percentage point y-o-y to 44%.

in EURm Q1 2019 Q1 2018 Change Change

Fulfillment expenses –19.0 –14.5 –4.5 31%

Other selling
and distribution costs
–12.7 –8.3 –4.4 53%
Total selling
and distribution costs
–52.9 –39.4 –13.5 34%

In the first three months of 2019, selling and distribution costs amounted to EUR 52.9m, up by 34 % compared to EUR 39.4m in the corresponding period in 2018. On the one hand, this increase was attributable to higher marketing expenses as expected, mainly as a result of investments in customer acquisition, especially via TV. On the other hand, the opening and ramp-up of the new warehouse in Halle (Saale) and the mega outlets temporarily led to higher fulfillment expenses, especially for handling and moving merchandise.

Profit contribution contains gross profit, fulfillment expenses and impairment losses on financial assets. In the first three month of 2019, the Group earned a profit contribution of EUR 21.2m and a profit contribution margin of 23 %.

In the first three months of 2019, administrative expenses decreased by 4% y-o-y to EUR 10.8m.

In the first three months of 2019, the adjusted EBITDA margin of –16% was ten percentage points below the prior-year figure. Negative adjusted EBITDA increased from EUR 5.1m to EUR 14.9m, mainly due to higher marketing and fulfillment expenses as well as investments in future projects, whose contributions to earnings will not be fully felt until the next few quarters. The adjusted amounts include share-based payment expenses for employees and media services provided to the Company.

2. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SEGMENTS

Europe –14.9 –5.8 –9.1 >100%
LatAm 0.0 0.7 –0.7 –100%

In the first three months of 2019, revenue in the Europe segment amounted to EUR 71.0m, up +6% y-o-y, representing 76% of Group revenue. In the first three months of 2019, revenue in the LatAm segment came to EUR 22.2m, up +25% y-o-y, thus contributing 24% to Group revenue. Adjusted for foreign currency effects, revenue in the LatAm segment grew by 35% y-o-y. Both segments recorded a decline in average order value accompanied by a rise in the number of active customers and orders placed. Adjusted for foreign currency effects, average order value in the LatAm segment was down just 1%.

The Europe segment generated negative adjusted EBITDA of EUR 14.9m after EUR 5.8m in the prior-year period (EUR –9.1m). The adjusted EBITDA margin came in at –21% compared to –9% in the prior-year period. The LatAm segment broke even in terms of adjusted EBITDA after EUR 0.7m in the prior-year period (EUR –0.7m). The adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 0% compared to +4% in the prior-year period.

In the first three months of 2019, the Group's negative cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 19.8m compared to EUR 3.3m in the prior-year period. In the current financial year, the cash flow from operating activities was negatively impacted in particular by the loss from operating activities and the change in net working capital.

Cash outflows from investing activities primarily continued to relate to investments in internally generated and acquired software and the construction of the warehouse in Halle (Saale).

The cash flow from financing activities primarily concerns repayments of lease liabilities.

In total, the Group's cash and cash equivalents fell by EUR 29.4m in the first three months of 2019 and totaled EUR 79.2m as of the reporting date.

Change Change
in %
Non-current assets 114.9 107.2 7.7 7%

Current liabilities 89.0 90.0 –1.0 –1%
Total equity and liabilities 257.0 275.1 –18.1 –7%

The assets and equity and liabilities of the Group changed compared to December 31, 2018, primarily because of the following balance sheet items:

The increase in non-current assets and non-current liabilities is mainly due to capitalized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Current assets decreased in particular due to the change in cash and cash equivalents explained in the "Cash flows" section.

Equity decreased by EUR 23.1m, mainly due to the operating result.

Overall, total assets decreased by EUR 18.1m from EUR 275.1m to EUR 257.0m.

5. OVERALL ASSESSMENT

Following investments in a new ERP system and the optimization of business processes, the Group continued to grow revenue in the first three months of 2019. Attractive profit contribution margins based on the strength of its private label business are key drivers of home24's ability to invest in sustainable sales growth.

The market environment has been more challenging compared to the prior-year period, which had tangible effects on customer demand and is reflected in lower online market growth y-o-y. Nevertheless, compared to the strong first quarter of 2018 home24 has achieved solid revenue growth in the current financial year, primarily as a result of significant investments in the acquisition of new customers. As expected, the key factors for the y-o-y decrease in profitability were higher expenses for the opening and ramp-up of the new warehouse location in Halle (Saale) and the mega outlets as well as investments in the acquisition of new customers, in particular via TV.

6. FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

home24 continued numerous capital expenditure measures in the first quarter of 2019 and has already successfully completed some of them. These will have positive effects on revenue and profitability in the current financial year.

home24 confirms its guidance with regard to revenue growth at constant currency in 2019 at or slightly above the 2018 growth rate. The LatAm segment will contribute disproportionately to growth.

The adjusted EBITDA margin will improve to a range between –4% and –9% for 2019 as a whole. In the current financial year, home24 anticipates that efficiencies from investments underway and new initiatives to win customers and reduce costs will pave the way to profitability based on adjusted EBITDA. home24 continues to anticipate break-even based on adjusted EBITDA at the end of 2019.

The Group will continue to consistently pursue its strategy for growth. The focus for the 2019 financial year will be to take advantage of the economies of scale provided by growth and further build on the Group's competitive position.
