Although the takeover by competitor Zalando SE has long been decided, the Hamburg e-commerce group About You Holding SE once again presented current business figures on Tuesday.
In the second quarter of the current 2025/26 financial year, sales amounted to 492.3 million euros, which corresponded to an increase of 9.4 percent compared to the same period last year. According to the company, the increase was “supported by solid growth in the DACH and CEE regions”. “A relatively wide range of growth rates was observed” in the other European markets.
In the Commerce area, revenues rose by 8.9 percent to 481.5 million euros; in the Scayle division, in which B2B services are managed, they increased by 36.8 percent to 16.8 million euros.
Although the gross margin fell slightly, the group was able to reduce its loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for expenses for share-based payments and special effects, which had been 2.3 million euros in the second quarter of the previous year, to 0.6 million euros. However, the reported net loss increased slightly from 28.1 to 28.9 million euros.
The e-commerce specialist can reduce its half-year loss
In the entire first half of the year, which ended on August 31, group sales reached 1.04 billion euros, exceeding the corresponding previous year’s level by 7.6 percent. According to the company, the growth was due to a higher number of active customers and an increase in orders.
Adjusted EBITDA rose from 12.8 to 22.6 million euros. The net loss, which was 37.6 million euros in the first six months of the previous financial year, fell to 34.5 million euros.
