Presumably yesterday’s fall was around fears over the duty/tax concerns. I originally took Cettire’s response at face value but did hear Claude asking the question is this where their competitive edge came from (baby giants pod)? And is that going to go away now they’ve been called on it… I don’t think so but keen for thoughts

Oh no… selling more shares Dean.

not personally worried about this, the guy still owns

37% of the business but I guess you’d like to think he’d keep a decent holding… what would that be? 20%? 10%? Even 10% of a billion dollar business is still pretty significant skin in the game…


or is it more about the active role in the business ie founder led?

Full year results are in and this thing is still growing super fast… I’m back in IRL over the last month in the basis that it has a potentially long runway and worldwide customer base… of course it’s a little speculative but could be massive long term

Commenting on the FY23 results, Cettire’s Founder & CEO, Dean Mintz, said:

“FY23 has been another year of tremendous growth and transformation for Cettire. Through strong execution against our strategy to maximise profitable revenue growth, Cettire grew rapidly whilst also delivering significant profitability and cash generation.

Cettire is a highly nimble business, with a largely flexible cost base. This enables us to adjust quickly to market conditions and optimise performance. The pace at which we have been able to drive improved performance through FY23 is something I am particularly proud of.

1 Gross revenue is revenue net of GST/VAT/sales taxes but is exclusive of returns from customers; Sales revenue is gross revenues net of allowances and returns from customers

2 Active customers are unique customers who have made a purchase on the platform in the last 12 months

3 Cettire uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-IFRS measure of business performance which excludes share-based payments, unrealised FX loss / (gain), loss/ (gain) on FX contracts and other items

4 Revenue growth in July is pre-accounting adjustments (deferred revenue and refund provisioning) 5 Prior corresponding period

 Cettire stands out from other software and technology-enabled businesses globally for its ability to consistently grow rapidly, whilst achieving attractive levels of profitability and capital efficiency. We are very well positioned to continue to grow share of the personal luxury goods market.”

In FY23, active customers increased 63% to over 423,000. The Company has experienced a further acceleration in active customer growth since its April market update, achieving record quarterly net active customer additions in Q4 FY23. This was driven by continued strength in customer acquisitions and improvements in retention. Repeat customers accounted for 58% of gross revenues (FY22: 50%), with higher average spend per order and increased order frequency for this customer group.

The sustained strength in repeat customer purchasing behaviour continues to provide the Company with confidence to invest in pursuit of global growth. Paid acquisition of 8.0% of sales revenue during the year reflects more conservative operating settings as well as geographic and channel optimisation (FY22: 14.9%). Similarly, a moderation in brand investment to $3.3 million illustrates an increased focus on channels with nearer term payback (FY22 $11.8 million).

Delivered margin increased by 156% vs the pcp to $95.6 million, representing 23.0% of sales revenue (FY22: 17.8%). This demonstrates successful execution against several cost optimisation initiatives outlined at FY22 results, which reduced fulfilment cost per order, supplemented by a higher average order value.

Operating cash flow for the year was $36.5 million, driven by FY23 operating surplus (cash profit) and favourable working capital dynamics given Cettire’s capital light business model, which continues to provide a tail wind through this ongoing rapid growth phase. Year-end cash was $46.3 million, with zero financial debt.

 Business update

Localisation of Cettire’s platform remains a key strategic priority to drive penetration in its emerging markets. During FY23, the Company commenced deployment of multi-language features, including Chinese, Japanese and Spanish language sites. The localisation strategy has facilitated further rapid growth within its emerging markets, with FY23 gross revenues in these markets increasing by 140% vs the pcp. Emerging markets accounted for 27% of gross revenue during the period (FY22: 21%).

Much of Cettire’s localisation efforts have focused on the Chinese market launch. Due to the scale and significance of the opportunity, the Company has taken a disciplined approach to setting up its Chinese proposition, doing so in a way that affords Cettire the greatest optionality around channels to market.

The opportunity to grow penetration in Cettire’s top-three established markets (US, UK, Australia) also remains substantial. Established markets continued to perform strongly, increasing gross revenues by 77% vs the pcp, led by the US market which grew in-line with the Group.

Cettire expects the overall revenue base to continue to broaden as the Company further localises its proposition and grows its presence beyond established markets.

During the year, Cettire again achieved significant ongoing growth across its global supply chain, with the value of available inventory significantly expanding to approximately $2 billion. In line with Cettire’s strategy to provide a platform for all members of the supply chain, the Company added additional direct luxury brand supply relationships, including the commercial agreement with Zegna announced 15 December 2022, to directly integrate and sell its products on the Cettire platform.

Organisational capability continues to grow. In particular, Cettire has made several additional key engineering hires with world class pedigree during the period. The Company intends to continue to selectively build its technology talent where appropriate.

Cettire’s Founder & CEO, Dean Mintz, said:

"We have considerable momentum in the supply chain as our compelling supplier proposition gains traction. Our focus is on continuing to drive penetration across the supply chain, which in turn enables us to better serve our customers.”

FY24 Outlook and July trading update

In the coming year, Cettire will continue to focus on maximising profitable revenue growth, whilst also self- funding.

Cettire has continued to experience a healthy demand environment across its geographic footprint, illustrating the resilience of global luxury spend. The Company remains excited about the structural shift of luxury spend online, providing ongoing potential to expand its addressable market.

 The Company is pleased to announce that positive trading momentum has continued into FY24, evidenced by the following observations through July 2023:

• Further acceleration in active customers growth rate to 67% versus the pcp;

• Sales revenue increased approximately 120% 6 versus the pcp; and

• Adjusted EBITDA profitability has been maintained.

Commenting on the Company’s sustained start to FY24 and outlook, Mr Mintz, said:

“We are pleased by the early trading in FY24, with all our key markets performing strongly. Cettire is well positioned for another strong year of growth and profitability. We are well advanced in our preparations for China market entry, which remains a very attractive market opportunity and offers significant incremental growth potential.”

 Cettire demonstrated a continuation of the strong revenue and profitability trends reported in the Q1-FY23 and AGM trading updates.

Gross revenue increased by 57% vs the pcp to $242.7 million, driven by growth in both order volume and average order value. Sales revenue increased by 65% vs the pcp to $187.7 million, reflecting the increase in gross revenue and a decrease in the returns rate to 22.6% (H1-FY22: 26.2%).

Delivered margin increased by 90% vs the pcp to $47.0 million, representing 25.1% of sales revenue. This demonstrates successful execution on the cost optimisation initiatives outlined at FY22 results, which reduced fulfilment cost per order and was supplemented by a higher average order value.

Through effective execution and continued refinements to its marketing strategy, the Company drove significant efficiencies in marketing investments. Paid acquisition costs decreased to 7.9% of sales revenue (H1-FY22: 16.1%).

Leveraging the Company’s lean operating cost structure with revenue growth and attractive unit economics translated into significant improvements in operating profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA of $16.7 million or 8.9% of sales revenue (H1-FY22: $(9.9) million).

Operating cash flow increased 192% vs the pcp to $35.8 million (H1-FY22: $12.3 million), with growth underpinned by the Company’s operating profitability, exceptional sales growth, capital light business model and attractive working capital profile.

At 31 December 2022, Cettire had a cash balance of $53.3 million and zero debt, providing balance sheet flexibility to capitalise on multiple attractive global growth opportunities.

Business update

Cettire’s localisation initiatives, enabled by its proprietary storefront software, remain a key strategic priority to increase penetration in emerging markets4. In accordance with its localisation strategy, during H1-FY23, the Company commenced deployment of multi-language features via the release of a Chinese language site. A Chinese language version of the mobile apps is also now live. In addition, Cettire broadened its partnership with Klarna to selected European markets including the UK. The localisation strategy has facilitated further rapid growth in emerging markets, with H1-FY23 gross revenues in these markets increasing by 101% vs the pcp. Emerging markets accounted for 25% of gross revenue during the period.5

During the period, Cettire again experienced strong growth across its global supply chain, with the available inventory now surpassing $1.2 billion. In line with Cettire’s strategy to provide a platform for all members of the supply chain, the Company added additional direct luxury brand supply relationships including a commercial agreement with Zegna, which enables the direct integration of products from the Zegna brand into Cettire’s platform.

Importantly, targeted investment in Cettire’s proprietary technology platform continues to develop the Company’s capability, while reinforcing its competitive advantage. During the half, Cettire continued to add to its world-class engineering team in an environment where many technology companies are decreasing headcount, demonstrating Cettire's confidence in the outlook.
