Verkkokauppa.com Oyj released preliminary unaudited information regarding its 2024 financial results. The company's revenue declined by 6.9% to EUR 140.2 million in the last quarter of 2024, largely due to weak demand in discretionary categories such as Televisions, Mobile Phones, and Gaming, although IT and Toys performed better. For the full year 2024, revenue decreased by 7.0% to EUR 467.8 million. The comparable operating result (EBIT) for the fourth quarter was EUR 3.8 million, or 2.7% of revenue, showing an improvement driven by higher gross margins and cost-saving measures.

Halvårsrapport: Verkkokauppa.com Oyj HALF-YEAR REPORT for 1 January - 30 June 2024: Low demand and intense price competition weakened Verkkokauppa.com's profitability

Verkkokauppa.com released its half-year report for January to June 2024, highlighting a challenging market environment with low consumer confidence and intense price competition, which weakened profitability. The company's revenue for the second quarter was EUR 105.5 million, a 6% decline from the previous year. The comparable operating result was EUR -1.7 million, impacted by low demand, price competition, and increased costs. The first half of 2024 saw a revenue decline of 9% to EUR 213.5 million, with a net loss of EUR 3.1 million. CEO Panu Porkka noted that while demand for discretionary products was weak, the company's strategic growth areas, such as online and own-brand sales, performed better than average. Despite the challenging conditions, Verkkokauppa.com continued to focus on operational efficiency and strategic growth projects, including expanding one-hour deliveries. The company updated its financial guidance for 2024, expecting lower revenue and operating results compared to 2023 unless there is a positive market turn in the latter half of the year. Key risks include changes in consumer behavior, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors. Verkkokauppa.com also reported on its sustainability efforts, management changes, and shareholder information. The company held a Capital Markets Day in May and organized virtual news conferences for analysts and investors.

Insiderinformation: Inside information, profit warning: Verkkokauppa.com lowers financial guidance for 2024 and provides preliminary information on financial performance for the first half of the year

Verkkokauppa.com has revised its financial guidance for 2024, anticipating lower revenue and comparable operating results than in 2023, unless there is a positive market shift in the latter half of the year.

The new guidance contrasts with the earlier forecast, which expected revenue to remain at 2023 levels and an increase in comparable operating profit. Preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2024 show a revenue of EUR 105.5 million and a comparable operating result of EUR -1.7 million. The company will release its half-year financial report on 18 July 2024. Verkkokauppa.com, an e-commerce pioneer founded in 1992 and listed on Nasdaq Helsinki, reported a revenue of EUR 503 million in 2023 and employs around 700 people.
