Trading update & outlook

  • The second half has started strongly, with YoY revenue growth of 118% to Feb 23.

  • We continue to experience strong tailwinds, including:

  • the ongoing adoption of online shopping

  • an acceleration of these trends due to COVID-19

  • an increase in discretionary income due to travel restrictions

  • the recovery of the housing market and unemployment levels

  • As previously communicated, we are prioritising a high-growth strategy by:

  • accelerating our investment in digital and above the line marketing to outgrow the market

  • using price and promotions to drive first time customers

  • investing in our people to strengthen our technology, data & personalisation, private label, and delivery experience moats

  • growing our B2B sales and operational teams

  • This strategy will accelerate the achievement of our stated goal to become the largest retailer of furniture and homewares in our home market, similar to our international peers.

Revenue growth is based on checkout revenue which is pre accounting adjustments (deferred revenue, refund provision).
