Adjustment of the sales forecast and confirmation of the forecast for the adjusted EBITDA margin for the 2024 financial year
EQS-Ad-hoc: BIKE24 Holding AG / Key word(s): Change in Forecast Dresden, January 14, 2025 – The Management Board of Bike24 Holding AG (the “Company”) today decided to adjust the revenue forecast for the financial year 2024 and to confirm the forecast for the adjusted EBITDA margin based on indicative results for the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company expects that the positive trend from the third quarter of 2024 will continue in the fourth quarter of 2024 and that revenue and earnings will have improved significantly compared to the same quarter of the previous year. However, the improvements were presumably not sufficient to fully compensate for the weaker first quarter of 2024. Black Friday and Christmas business did not fully meet expectations. In addition, the location of the Christmas holidays resulted in more deliveries from the year-end business compared to the previous year, which will only took place in the following year and will therefore only then be recognized as sales. On this basis, the Company is now forecasting revenue growth in the range of -0.6% to +0.3%for the 2024 financial year compared to the 2023 financial year (previously lower end of the range of +1% to +5%). At the same time, the forecast for the adjusted EBITDA margin of between +0.7% and +4.2% is confirmed. With regard to the definition of the alternative performance indicator “adjusted EBITDA margin”, the Company refers to the relevant definition in its 2023 Annual Report, which is published on the Company‘s website.
