Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results
Revenue increased by $121.0 million year-over-year from $134.5 million in third quarter 2018 to $255.5 million in third quarter 2019, representing growth of 89.9%. The increase was primarily driven by 44.0% growth in Digital Platform Services Revenue to $156.5 million and the addition of Brand Platform Revenue from New Guards Group. In-Store Revenue increased by 121.9% to $9.1 million primarily due to the addition of revenue from New Guards Group’s directly-operated stores and growth in Browns stores. The increase in Digital Platform Services Revenue of 44.0% was driven by 37.4% growth in Digital Platform GMV, partially offset by a decline in Third-Party Take Rate to 31.2% in third quarter 2019, from 32.1% in the prior year quarter. Digital Platform Services Revenue was also boosted by growth in first-party GMV, which nearly doubled year-on-year and is included in Digital Platform Services Revenue at 100% of the GMV. Digital Platform Fulfilment Revenue represents the pass-through of delivery and duties charges incurred by our global logistics solutions, net of any customer promotions and incentives funded by the Company. Whilst Digital Platform Fulfilment Revenue would be expected to grow in line with the cost of delivery and duties, which increase as Digital Platform GMV and order volumes grow, an increase in the level of promotions and incentives funded by the company will decrease Digital Platform Fulfilment Revenue. In third quarter 2019, Digital Platform Fulfilment Revenue increased 25.0%, a slower rate as compared to the cost of shipping and duties, primarily due to an increase in customer promotions year-over-year in response to the market environment. However, the impact of promotions in the quarter was lower than that in second quarter 2019, reflecting our strategic decision to reduce promotional activity. |
