Munich, March 19, 2020 // Westwing, the leader in inspiration-based Home and Living eCommerce in Europe, today announces the preliminary results for the financial year of 2019.

Westwing ended the financial year of 2019 with a solid fourth quarter, which returned to profitable growth of 12% year-over-year (at EUR 88m revenue) and 3% Adj EBITDA (at EUR 3m). The return to double-digit growth was based on continued strong customer loyalty as well as operational improvements. Westwing successfully scaled up marketing and offered customers a strong seasonal offering in the second half of 2019. As a result, the number of active customers increased by 23,000 to 949,000 in Q4.

Full year 2019 financials were affected by the weaknesses of the first half of the year. Revenue increased by 5% to EUR 267m (FY 2018: EUR 254m) and Adj EBITDA margin was -4% (FY 2018: 1%). While these results are below Westwing's ambition level, the second half of the year showed clear improvements based on solving most of the underlying problems of the weaknesses in the first half of the year:

• Customer growth momentum returned with an addition of 23,000 Active Customers in Q4, also based on strong customer loyalty with more than 80% of orders placed by repeat customers in 2019
• The International segment returned to growth in the second half of the year with problems in the Italian business being addressed
• The share of Own and Private Label products continued to increase to 24% of Group GMV in 2019 (+8 percentage points year-over-year). Two exclusive Westwing Collections have been launched in 2019 and received positive response from Westwing customers. They showcase bestsellers that combine the most recent trends with affordability and high quality
• Operations have stabilized after disruptions in the first half year of 2019. Westwing now operates a cost-efficient warehouse footprint in five European warehouses
• Westwing has a net cash balance of EUR 73m and is well prepared for the future, including potential disruptions from the COVID-19 situation

"We were able to finish the year 2019 strong. While the first half of the year was marked by challenges, our team has solved the underlying issues step-by-step based on thorough execution as well as complexity reduction throughout our business", says CEO Stefan Smalla. "How our team has reacted has demonstrated that building the company we envision is in our own hands, and the opportunity ahead of us remains significant. In the current COVID-19 situation, we are focused primarily on the well-being of our team, partners, and customers - we are well prepared and are taking any action necessary."

Westwing expects revenue growth of 5-10% in 2020 and Adj EBITDA moderately better than 2019, returning to profitability by 2021. This outlook is subject to the further development of the COVID-19 situation.

Westwing's annual report FY2019 will be available on March 27, 2020. For further information, please visit Westwing's investor relations website at: www.ir.westwing.com
