elumeo SE returns to profitable growth in the first quarter of 2024
* Total costs were reduced by 8 % to EUR 6.0 million
* Gross profit margin falls to 48.5% (Q1/23: 52%) due to higher COGS
* Active customers increased by 7% in Q1
* Forecast for 2024 confirmed
Berlin, 13 May 2024 - elumeo SE (ISIN DE000A11Q059), the leading electronic
retailer of gemstone jewelry in Europe, has made a good start to financial
year 2024. In Q1/2024, the company increased its revenue across all sales
channels by 5% year-on-year to EUR 11.3 million (Q1/2023: EUR 10.8 million).
The web sales channel made an above-average contribution to this positive
development, increasing by 15% compared to the same quarter of the previous
year. Sales in the TV sales channel also stabilized with an increase of 1%
compared to Q1/2023.
The number of active customers rose by 7% compared to the same quarter of
the previous year to 40.2k (Q1/2023: 37.7k). The gross profit margin fell to
48.5% (Q1/23: 52.0%) due to inflation and higher cost of goods sold (COGS).
By contrast, total costs were reduced by 8% to EUR 6.0 million (Q1/2023: EUR
6.6 million). The elumeo Group's key financial figure, adjusted EBITDA, was
positive again at EUR 148 thousand (Q1/2023: EUR -169 thousand).
Florian Spatz, Chief Executive Officer of elumeo SE: "The positive
development in the first quarter of 2024 brings us a significant step
forward. However, we are aware that we still have a considerable amount of
ground to cover in view of the persistently challenging market environment."
The slowly improving consumer climate in particular gives hope for the
further course of business. According to GfK data from April 2024, the
forecast for May 2024 improved for the third time in a row to a value of
-24.2 points, reaching the highest value in the past two years despite the
persistently low level. Spatz: "We are confident that our customers'
willingness to spend and purchasing power will gradually return as the year
progresses."
The significant increase in sales in the web sales channel is the result of
marketing investments already made in Q4/2023. This enabled the online
campaigns to be optimized for profitability in Q1/2024 - with the result
that the financial resources were used much more efficiently (-13%). "At the
end of 2023, we tested and optimized a lot in order to activate and monetize
certain customer groups much better than before. This puts us in a position
to achieve greater profitability for every euro invested. We will benefit
significantly from this knowledge over the rest of the year," adds Florian
Spatz.
The development of the video shopping app Jooli was also encouraging in
Q1/2024. The onboarding process for new users of the app was revised and now
allows users to specify their personal preferences right at the start. This
allows the algorithm to display suitable product videos even faster. The
number of orders increased from 202 in October 2023 to 1,353 in March 2024,
while the average shopping basket rose from INR 135 to INR 301 in the same
period.
In light of the development to date in Q1/2024, the management of elumeo SE
confirms its forecast for the current financial year. The company expects a
return to profitable growth at Group level for the year as a whole. It
expects mid-single-digit revenue growth of between 4% and 8% and a
disproportionately high increase in adjusted EBITDA of between EUR 1.5
million and EUR 3.5 million with a gross profit margin of 49% to 51%. In
addition, the management confirms the medium-term target of the #Juwelo100
growth program. This envisages sales growth to EUR 100 million by 2030.
