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 €45.4 million (2022: €45.8 million), the key performance indicator of the elumeo Group, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), declined. It decreased from €2.2 million to €-0.4 million. Reasons for the unexpectedly sharp decline were investments for further internationalization of the TV distribution channel (€0.6 million), an above-average investment in the Web distribution channel in Q4 2023 (€0.9 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 €14.5 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 €0.9 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.
