5 February 2020. Vente-Unique.com, a European specialist in online furniture sales, today announces its unaudited revenues for the first quarter of the 2019-2020 financial year (1 October to 31 December 2019).
Quarterly revenues amounted to €26.3 million, up +9% versus the previous financial year. This constitutes a remarkable performance insofar as Vente-unique.com had recorded growth of +14% in Q1 2018-19, above the trend observed over the entire financial year (+11%).

In France (€14.9m), Vente-unique.com began to profit from the increased availability of its products following the expansion of the Amblainville logistics site at the end of the 2018-19 financial year. Growth was +7%, more than double the increase recorded over the entire 2018-19 financial year (+3%).
International operations grew more quickly (+12%) and now represent 43% of sales, 1 point higher than during the same period of the previous financial year.
Northern and Eastern Europe (€7.2m) recorded growth of +17%, in line with the average performance of the previous financial year (+19%), due in particular to the increase that followed the launch of latest version of the website in Polish.
Southern Europe (€4.1m) grew +5% during Q1 2019-20 against a very demanding comparative base (+54% increase in invoicing in Q1 2018-19).
