- First Adj. EBITDA positive year with €16.4m, and a margin of 1.2%

Christoph Barchewitz and Patrick Schmidt, Co-CEOs of GFG, said: "FY 2020 was GFG's first profitable year, on an Adj. EBITDA basis. This milestone and our continued like-for-like NMV growth is a testament to our leading position as the only online fashion and lifestyle-focused platform operating at scale in our markets, where we have continued to act as brands' partner of choice. Performance this quarter was driven by a record increase in Active Customers, as ecommerce adoption continues to accelerate. We are well positioned for the next phase of growth and to deliver on our ambition towards becoming a €10 billion NMV business in the next 7-9 years."

Outlook

In 2021, GFG expects to grow NMV by over 25%, delivering c.€2.3-2.4 billion in NMV, and around €1.5 billion of revenue, all on a constant currency basis. GFG expects Adjusted EBITDA to improve modestly on 2020, which allows flexibility to take the growth opportunity from greater online penetration in our markets. Capex investment will be around €60 million. These forecasts assume no significant deterioration in the COVID-19 impact across the regions GFG or its suppliers operate in.

Business Review

In Q4, GFG delivered NMV of €594.5 million, up a strong 28.9% yoy. This was driven by accelerated customer acquisition and a significant increase in orders across all markets. GFG now has 16.3 million Active Customers, up 24.6% yoy, with 2.1 million new customers shopping across GFG's platforms in Q4 alone (Q4/19: 1.8m) as consumers continue to shift online across its markets. NMV per Active Customer was up modestly reflecting the significant number of new customers.

Marketplace NMV increased by 89% yoy with participation of 32% and still more brand partners working with this channel to reach GFG's enlarged customer base.

SEA, CIS and LATAM each saw NMV growth of more than 30% along with strong improvements in gross margin across every region, driven by a near 25% increase in Active Customers and a small increase in NMV/Active Customer. Growth in ANZ continued to recover, with NMV up 18.2% in Q4, driven by improved inventory levels and its biggest ever day on Black Friday, along with strong December sales.

GFG had another record number of orders - 13.3 million in the quarter - up 28.8% yoy, with a marginal improvement of average order value. Customer frequency was 2.6 orders per year.

During Q4, GFG launched its third sustainable edit - Lamoda Planet, with more than 3,500 items across 400 brands, offering six selection criteria: Recycled and Innovation; Eco-composition; Cruelty Free; Vegan; Care for the Planet; and I Want to Help - products that support charities.
