Financial summary Q1 2021

  • Revenues from continuing operations decreased by EUR 0.3m or 2% compared to the same period of the previous year (Q1 2021: EUR 14.6m / Q1 2020: EUR 14.9m).
  • − In the first quarter of 2020, revenues included a VAT refund of 0.8 EURm. Adjusted for this effect, revenue increased by 3% compared to the same period of the previous year.
  • − In Europe, the decrease in revenues is mainly due to the relocation of the Group's main warehouse, causing a limited availability of certain products in March 2021.
  • − Revenue in China of EUR 10.2m is at the same level as the same period last year.
  • − In March of the previous year, first effects from COVID-19-related increase in e-commerce business due to lockdowns were recognized in Europe and China.
  • Adj. EBIT from continuing operations declined from EUR -2.4m to EUR -3.5m year-over-year.
  • − In the previous year's quarter, EBIT was positively affected by the VAT refund, adding 0.6m to the previous year EBIT as a one-off effect.
  • − A further impact in Q1 2021 was the set-up of a new office in China that led to increased personnel expenditures. Recruitment started in Q2 2020, meaning that Q1 2020 was not affected by higher personnel costs from this measure.
  • Liquidity decreased over the first three months to EUR 5.0m on March 31, 2021 (Dec. 31, 2020: EUR 8.5m)
  • − Main reasons: Net loss for the period increased by EUR 0.9m to EUR 4.1m due to EUR 0.6m positive effect from VAT refund in Q1 2020 and personnel costs related with the team set-up in China. Furthermore, the Group built up additional net working capital of EUR 0.7m.
  • − Successfully executed capital increase in March 2021 resulted in a net cash inflow of EUR 1.4m.
  • Financial targets for full year 2021 confirmed: Strong revenue growth and strong EBIT improvement yoy; adj. break-even target for full year 2022.

Definitions of key performance indicators

  • 1) We define site visits as the number of series of page requests from the same device and source in the measurement period and include visits to our online magazine.
