PRESS RELEASE

Zalando with strong result in first half-year 2014

  • Group revenues increased by 29.5 per cent versus previous year to EUR 1,047 million
  • Positive group EBIT¹ margin of 1.2 per cent, DACH region clearly profitable with EBIT¹ margin of 4.6 per cent
  • Margin improvement driven by all major cost lines

Berlin, August 28, 2014 – Zalando had a very successful first half of 2014. Group revenues grew by 29.5 per cent to EUR 1,047 million in the first six months (HY/2013: EUR 809 million), while revenues in the DACH region increased by 21.2 per cent to EUR 594 million (HY/2013: EUR 490 million). EBIT improved significantly, with a positive group EBIT1 margin for the first half-year 2014 of 1.2 per cent (HY/2013: -8.9 per cent) and DACH continues to lead the way, reaching clear profitability of 4.6 per cent. The significant margin improvement was driven by all major cost line items, including cost of sales, fulfillment and marketing. Zalando confirms its preliminary figures released on July 18, 2014.

"Achieving a positive group EBIT margin in the first half-year is a major success for Zalando. Historically, our performance in the first half of any financial year tended to be weaker than in the second half," said Rubin Ritter, Member of the Management Board.

The ramp-up of operations at the new fulfilment center in Mönchengladbach is on track and fulfillment efficiency has increased during the first half-year 2014. The Zalando mobile app has been rolled out successfully across all international markets, resulting in a mobile traffic share of 41 per cent during Q2 and over 3.8 million app downloads by the end of Q2. Zalando registered total visits of 323 million in the second quarter of 2014 (Q2/2013: 294 million). Active customers grew to 13.7 million at the end of Q2/2014, compared to 11.6 million at the end of Q2/2013, which further improved marketing efficiency.
