Vente-Unique.com e-commerce revenues dipped 2.2% to €36.8 million with varying performances depending on the country. After a 2021-2022 second half marked by strong pressure on sales margins (transport inflation and strengthening of USD), priority at the start of the new financial year has been assigned to improving profitability by adjusting pricing policy and keeping marketing expenses under control.

Lastly, the international market accounted for 48% of total e-commerce revenues (up 1 percentage point versus Q1 2021-2022 ), while France accounted for 52% (down 1 percentage point). In accordance with the roadmap, the international roll-out of the marketplace has been launched in the second quarter of 2022-2023, focusing on Southern Europe.

Initial revenues from logistics services

The start of the year was primarily marked by the consolidation of the third-party logistics business on 1 October 2022 resulting from the acquisition of the Distri Service business. The new business generated additional revenues of €1.9 million and is expected to be a powerful growth driver in the future, working in synergy with the marketplace ramp-up and contributing to overall Group profitability.

Outlook confirmed

At the end of Q1 2022-2023, Vente-Unique.com confirms its goal of gradually returning to strong growth over the current financial year and improving its earnings through continued tight management of sales margins, operating expenses and capital expenditure.
