State of Westwing

We continued to improve profitability significantly despite negative topline, as expected.

  • GMV decline of 3.6% year-over-year (yoy) due to a more premium and smaller product assortment.
  • June GMV grew slightly with upward trend strengthening in July. We continue to expect a positive H2 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increase by 61% to EUR 6 million at 6.3% margin (+2.6pp yoy).
  • Free cash flow of EUR -5 million in Q2 and net cash of EUR 50 million at the end of the quarter.

We continue to deliver on our 3-step value creation plan with a current focus on country expansion.

  • Westwing Collection growth of 19% yoy, resulting in an all-time high GMV share of 65%.
  • Expansion of geographic footprint, by successfully launching already eight new countries this year.
  • Better physical brand and product experience with two more standalone stores (Munich and Berlin).

We are confirming our FY 2025 guidance and ambition for 2026.

  • 2025 revenue of EUR 425 million to EUR 455 million (-4% to +2% yoy growth).
  • 2025 adjusted EBITDA of EUR 25 million to EUR 35 million (+6% to +8% adjusted EBITDA margin).
  • Return to high single to double-digit growth in 2026 with further improvements in profitability.

2025 is a transition year in our 3-step value creation plan: We are working on key growth levers of the third phase

2. Financial Update

GMV declined by 3.6% in Q2

Group topline development [in EUR million]

  • Negative topline development in line with guidance due to switch to a more premium and smaller product assortment, in Q2 especially affecting DACH segment.
  • Comparably less decline in GMV vs. revenue driven by timing effect of a sales event end of June.
  • DACH segment revenue declined by 9.5% in Q2 yearover-year.
  • International segment revenue declined by 1.6% in Q2 yearover-year, while GMV already returned to growth.

Both adjusted EBITDA and EBIT improved significantly year-over-year in Q2

Profitability development [in EUR million]

• Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 increased by EUR 2m yearover-year, while EBIT had an even greater increase of EUR 5m year-over-year, primarily driven by lower D&A expenses including reduced lease payments.
