Key Q&A
Q:Can you just speak to the architecture and how much of this is a component of new customers to the platform versus success with the product?
A:We have seen as a sector for quite a while increasing return rates. But it's probably also an hypothesis about customers being very picky in what they really buy in the end and keep. We see two drivers for the first sign of a slightly decreasing return rate in a while. One is that there is a slowly but increasing appetite for customers to keep, to buy, but only to try. The second part is the success with existing customers, the success with heavy spending, often recurring customers is also helping return rates because these customers tend to know their sizes of different brands.
Q:Could you provide some color around how the quarter trended and if there was any potential noise quarter to date related to just the election news or greater macro uncertainty and how you're thinking about the US growth for the rest of the year?
A:The United States has been a great success for us as a company over the last two years. One of the big drivers is of course ongoingly reaching out to clients, making them aware of our offer. We expect a very strong Q2. We believe the consumer sentiment in the US has further improved. We had an election which regardless of the outcome was decisive. So we did not have a hanging result. No one knows who really won. It was clear who won and I think that is also removing uncertainty in the market.
Q:How would you characterize overall health of your core luxury customer today? Any differences across regions that you're observing in overall spending and maybe by category any notable shifts in category performance that you're seeing so far in the second quarter?
A:The US and the US luxury consumer are in a good shape. We also very happy with Europe. Europe, including Germany, grew 9% in the last quarter. The one geography region that really still lags is Asia and particularly influenced by China. The uncertainties and challenges are there. But Germany, Europe, and US, which account for 70% of our business are in good shape.
Q:Could you just elaborate on the promotional backdrop channel inventory levels today across luxury as we enter holiday and what it means for gross margin in the second quarter and in the back half of the year?
A:We have talked about that and saw that in the preceding quarters, that due to heavy promotions, there is continued access inventory in the market and that led to a decreasing gross profit margin. We continued to stay very focused to stay true to our focus on full price selling and managing our inventory levels accordingly.
Q:Do you still expect Q1 and Q3 to have a weaker bottom line?
A:Q1 and Q3 quarters are always weaker quarter on overall adjusted EBITDA margin. That's very typical. We achieved a adjusted EBITDA margin in this quarter of 1.4%. That is obviously outside of the 3% to 5% guidance, but it's typical, very typical in line with seasonal performance.
Q:Is there any work you can start doing now or what maybe gives you confidence that you'll be able to have a smooth integration there?
A:Until the deal is approved by the authorities, we cannot do any heavy lifting. But of course, we conducted a proper due diligence. We analyzed the tech stack that is, at the moment, in place at YNAP supporting all the different businesses.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management's responses lacked clarity on the specific impacts of the election on consumer behavior and spending patterns, particularly in the US market. Additionally, there was vague language regarding the integration process with YNAP, as they could not provide specific details until the deal is approved.
