Vente-unique.com posted consolidated revenues, including commissions generated by the marketplace and B2B logistics services, of €118.9m at the end of the first 9 months of 2022-2023, an increase of 10.7%. Logistics services, which have been included since 1er October 2022, accounted for €5.5m over the first 9 months of the year.
E-commerce revenues, including commissions generated by the marketplace, came to €113.4m at the end of the first 9 months of 2022-2023, representing growth of 5.6%. Changes in France and Southern Europe are not very representative in the short term, since the Sales periods have been shifted from one year to the next (starting in France on 28 June, compared with 22 June in 2022), while Northern and Eastern Europe has confirmed its role as a driving force.
The e-commerce business is being driven by the growing success of the marketplace, which accounted for 13% of[7] e-commerce Gross merchandise volume in France in June 2023 (up 3 points in 1 quarter) and is off to a very satisfactory start in Spain and Italy (6% after 1 full quarter of activity). The roll-out is proceeding according to plan, with the opening of Germany in June and expansion into Belgium and Switzerland in the autumn.
Confirmation of annual outlook
Buoyed by this sales momentum, Vente-unique.com confirms its gradual return to growth over the year, with the 4ème quarter well underway. The Group is also reiterating its target of an adjusted Ebitda margin[8] higher than that achieved in the 2021-2022 financial year (5.8% of revenues).
