Zalando's first-quarter sales of $2.37M mark a minor drop but show promise of recovery with a net loss improvement from $41.4M to $9.6M. Strong B2C and B2B growth highlighted by a 1.3% margin in adjusted EBIT.
Zalando's first quarter in 2024 witnessed a slight decline in sales by 0.6%, totaling $2.37M. However, improvements were notable in its adjusted EBIT which rose to $30.5M, marking a significant turnaround from a loss of $0.8M in the same period last year.
Under its new ecosystem strategy, Zalando has seen its B2C and B2B sectors thrive. B2C revenues surged due to strong sales in beauty, sports, and kids segments. B2B growth was equally robust, with a 13% increase in revenue through expanded multi-channel partnerships.
Zalando is enhancing customer experience with digital tools like the body measurement size-advice feature, now available in six markets. B2B partnerships have also expanded, with Zalando welcoming five new merchants to its ZEOS multi-channel fulfillment.
With a solid start to 2024, Zalando remains optimistic about its growth trajectory. The company has confirmed its full-year guidance, expecting a revenue growth of up to 5% and an adjusted EBIT of up to $485M.
