• Consolidated revenues: €132.6 million, up 11.5% over 9 months;

23 July 2024. Vente-unique.com, an expert in online sales of furniture and home furnishings in Europe, announces its unaudited revenues figures for the first 9 months of the 2023-2024 financial year (period from 1^er October 2023 to 30 June 2024).

Vente-unique.com has succeeded in maintaining a strong sales momentum since the start of the year, with double-digit growth, in a context that remains difficult for household consumption and marked by a certain wait-and-see attitude in France due to the current electoral situation. Overall, gross merchandise volume for the first 9 months of the year rose sharply by 17.7% to €172.6 million, driven by strong international performances and the continued expansion of the marketplace.

Growth driven by strong international momentum

Vente-unique.com recorded E-commerce revenues, including commissions generated by the marketplace, of €130.3 million for the first 9 months of the year, up 14.9%. Quarter after quarter, the Group has succeeded in increasing the volume of products sold while maintaining a solid gross margin, demonstrating the relevance of its positioning and business model.

The E-commerce business is driven by continued strong international momentum, with sales up by a remarkable 26.5% in Northern and Eastern Europe, and 22.7% in Southern Europe, compared with the same period last year. Lastly, growth in France remained solid and resilient (+5.5%) despite a rather gloomy environment.

The marketplace, open in 8 countries, also continues to prove a powerful growth accelerator for the Group. It is enjoying solid, steady growth in almost all the countries where it is deployed, particularly in France (16.3% of e-commerce sales in June 2024, compared with 13% in June 2023). Finally, the roll-out of the marketplace in March 2024 in the Netherlands and Portugal has already seen a very satisfactory ramp-up throughout the 3^rd quarter of the year.

Successful first step in the relaunch of the iconic Habitat brand

Since the relaunch of the Habitat.fr website on June 13, 2024[7] and with the support of its main shareholder CAFOM, Vente-unique.com initially focused on its voluntary and proactive approach of providing a personalised response to each customer affected by the liquidation of the former operator.

At the same time, the Group is actively preparing the second stage of the brand relaunch campaign, with a full commercial launch in September and a ramp-up planned over the next financial year.

Annual outlook confirmed

Thanks to this strong sales momentum over the first 9 months of the year, Vente-unique.com confirms its target of double-digit annual growth in gross merchandise volume and another year of profitable growth.
