Company Overview

Our Vision

We want to make a difference in the lives of moms, dads and their youngest - no matter the topic.

Whether the diaper supply is coming to an end, the once huge crib suddenly becomes too small or products are needed for a family adventure - with more than 10 years of experience, we put our heart into caring for the well-being of the little ones and their parents. This is how we contribute to shape the future of our next generations on a daily basis.

We see it as our task to give our customers the best possible service and to improve it every day. We are a specialist in a very emotional environment, and we take our responsibility to satisfy our customers through information, security and service very seriously. We want to offer attractive prices, informative content in cooperation with midwives, doctors and therapists as well as a quick and reliable delivery.

Due to the increasing online affinity of young families, esp. since 2020, we expect that consumers will increasingly shop online. We aim to be their trusted partner and the brand of choice for young families in the German-speaking region with strong cross-border e-Commerce to also provide products to our customers in China.

Bastian Salewsky, CEO windeln.de

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.

Consequently, we have a high focus on each individual supplier and maintain close relationships as a reliable business partner within the industry.

  • As healthcare is an important area for our customers, we will focus on this category accordingly. Based on customers feedback we will also increase focus on premium- as well as sustainable products across all categories to meet the next generations demands.
  • We will further streamline our internal processes to work as efficiently as possible by e.g., optimizing the listing of new products.

China

  • As a company with detailed insight into the Chinese market, a bonded warehouse and online presences on the most important shop platforms Tmall and JD, we will try to help suppliers enter the Chinese market or bring their existing business to the next level.

Exceptionally high revenues from sales of hygiene products in early 2020 were not repeated in 2021. -31% -16% -7% Europe: Due to the relocation of the warehouse, sales decreased as product availability was limited.

Comments

FY 2021: 1.7 pp below the margin of the FY 2020. With a margin of approx. 20%, Europe remained on prior years level. The gross margin of segment China decreased by 2.2 pp. Q1 2022: 12.8 pp above the margin of Q1 2021 with a margin of approx. 22% for Europe and 30% for China well above Q1 2021

FY 2021: Decrease of operating contr. margin by 2.2 pp is caused by the same reasons as the decline of gross profit. Moreover, less revenues led to less absorption of fix costs in logistics and marketing.

Q1 2022: Strong increase in line with increasing gross profit by 13.2 pp. Also significantly lower costs than in Q1 2021

FY 2021: Adj. EBIT deteriorated by 6.8 pp to -18.1 %. The Group expected a strong improvement of adj. EBIT in 2021 but adjusted their forecast to a significant deterioration. Q1 2022: Adj. EBIT significantly above Q1 2021 (+17.4 pp) and on track to reach ambitious goals for 2022

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. Measured by Google Analytics (Windeln.cn, Windeln.de and Windeln.ch) / TMall / JD. For TMall each request on the site is considered a visit.
  • 4) We define active customers as the number of unique customers placing at least one order in one of our shops in the twelve months preceding the end of the measurement period, irrespective of returns.
  • 5) We define number of orders as the number of customer orders placed in the measurement period, irrespective of returns. An order is counted on the day the customer places the order.
  • 5) Orders placed and orders delivered may differ due to orders that are in transit at the end of the measurement period or have been cancelled. 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.
  • 6) We define average orders per active customer as number of orders divided by the number of active customers in the last twelve months.
  • 7) We define orders from repeat customers as the number of orders from active customers who have placed at least one previous order, irrespective of returns. The share of repeat customer orders represents the number of orders from repeat customers in the last twelve months divided by the number of orders in the last twelve months.
  • 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.
