Exemplary

| FY 2023 | Guidance FY 2024 | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | EUR 429m | EUR 415 to 445m (-3% to +4% yoy growth) |
• Good start into 2024 at +6% GMV year-over-year growth year-to-date. • Macro environment likely to remain very challenging. • We believe we can continue to grow above market, but switch to global product offering for IT/ES will likely have detrimental effect on topline in H2. |
| Adjusted EBITDA |
EUR 18m | EUR 14m to 24m (+3% to +5% margin) |
• Increasing Westwing Collection share. • Cost discipline and P&L benefits from efficiency gains. • Invest for complexity reduction of EUR 10-15m will be adjusted, but with full impact on cash. • Free Cash Flow expected to be break-even. |
