Berlin, April 29, 2024 - elumeo SE (ISIN DE000A11Q059), the leading
electronic retailer for gemstone jewelry in Europe, today announced the
preliminary consolidated figures for the fiscal year 2023. The completion of
the audit and the publication of the consolidated financial statements are
scheduled for April 30, 2024. Based on the preliminary figures now
available, forecasts have been made for revenue and gross profit margins,
but the forecast for adjusted EBITDA has been missed. The assumption for the
expected growth of the Web distribution channel was significantly exceeded.
While the company was able to maintain the revenue level of the previous
year at the Group level and generated EUR45.4 million (2022: EUR45.8 million),
the key performance indicator of the elumeo Group, adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), declined.
It decreased from EUR2.2 million to EUR-0.4 million. Reasons for the
unexpectedly sharp decline were investments for further internationalization
of the TV distribution channel (EUR0.6 million), an above-average investment
in the Web distribution channel in Q4 2023 (EUR0.9 million), and the
inflation-induced decline in gross profit margin to 50.0% (2022: 54.9%).
Revenue from the Web distribution channel increased by 8.4% compared to the
previous year to EUR14.5 million. The reason for the unexpectedly positive
development was higher growth in sales in the fourth quarter of 2023,
facilitated by the allocation of additional budget for optimizing marketing
channels amounting to EUR0.9 million.
Regarding the definition of the alternative performance measure adjusted
EBITDA, the company refers to the definition in its 2022 annual report on
page 22, which was published on the company's website.
