Company Overview
Our Mission
We are always there for you.
Around the clock with plenty of products online - for the most precious gift in this world: our children.
The birth of a child is an exciting and wonderful, but also challenging time for parents. When small and large miracles happen, that turn everything upside down. We address everything that challenges parents, even sensitive issues. Because there are phases in life where we need clear statements, unadorned and real. That's life with children - colorful and dynamic, beautiful, but challenging.
We believe that parents do everything they can to provide their child with the best possible start in life - every single day. We see ourselves as a trusting friend at mom and dad's side. With our actions, we take care of the well-being of children and their families, because it is about nothing more important than the future of our next generations.

Agenda 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. Visits to our online magazine are included until mid of Q3 2020. A visit is considered ended when no requests have been recorded in more than 30 minutes. The number of site visits depends on a number of factors including the availability of the products we offer, the level and effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and the popularity of our online shops. Measured by Google Analytics (Windeln.cn, Windeln.de and Windeln.ch) / TMall / JD. For TMall each request on the site is considered a visit.
- 2) We define mobile visit share (as % of site visits) as the number of visits via mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) to our mobile optimized websites and mobile apps divided by the total number of site visits in the measurement period. Site visits of our online magazine are excluded. Measured by Google Analytics (Windeln.cn, Windeln.de and Windeln.ch) / TMall / JD. For TMall each request on the site is considered a visit.
- 3) We define mobile orders (as % of number of orders) as the number of orders via mobile devices to our mobile optimized websites and mobile apps divided by the total number of orders in the measurement period.

Every order which has been placed, but for which the products in the order have not been shipped (e. g., the products are not available, or the customer cancels the order), is considered ''cancelled''. Cancellations are deducted from the number of orders.

- 8) We define gross order intake as the aggregate Euro amount of customer orders placed in our web shops in the measurement period minus cancellations. The Euro amount includes value added tax and excludes marketing rebates.
- 9) We define average order value as gross order intake divided by the number of orders in the measurement period.
- 10) We define returns (as % of gross revenues from orders) as the returned amount in Euro divided by gross revenues from orders in the measurement period. Gross revenues from orders are defined as the total aggregated Euro amount spent by our customers minus cancellations but irrespective of returns. The amount does not include value added tax.
