Other H1 FY25 highlights:

  • Active customers at ~1.2 million, up 22% vs pcp

  • Revenue per active customer up 2% vs pcp to $470[6]

  • Exclusive products now represent ~45% of total revenue

  • AI now handling 60%+ of all customer pre- and post-sales support interactions, which has resulted in a greater than 50% reduction in customer care costs since H1 FY23

  • Fixed costs as a percentage of revenue declined to 10.5%

  • Home improvement sales grew 41% vs pcp

Capital Management

The Group achieved free cash flow generation of $32.5m in H1 FY25, an increase of 61% vs pcp, demonstrating the strength of our asset light / negative working capital model.

Our cash balance was $139m as at 31 December 2024, up from $107.2m as at 30 June 2024,[7] with no debt. The business remains well-capitalised and fully-funded to continue executing on its growth plans.

Our current on-market share buy-back program remains in place until June 2025.

Trading Update and Outlook

The market share gains and revenue growth demonstrated in H1 FY25 have continued into H2 FY25, with revenue up 16% year-on-year (from 1 January to 10 February 2025),[8] despite the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis.

The February growth rate has accelerated to 19% year-on-year (from 1 February to 10 February 2025).[9] We expect this trend to continue, given easing of comparison growth rates and the ability for us to use the margin flexibility we have built over the first half of the financial year.

EBITDA margin guidance for FY25 of 1 – 3% is reiterated, and we remain on-track towards our mid-term goal of $1b+ in annual revenue.
