Q1 2025 saw strong order and customer growth, improved loss before tax, and continued cost discipline, despite revenue and GMV declines from currency headwinds and lower corporate sales. Raised 2025 guidance reflects confidence in margin expansion and a clear path to profitability by 2027.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 2024 saw strong order and customer growth, improved operational efficiency, and robust up-country demand, but revenue and gross profit declined due to currency devaluation and lower corporate sales. 2025 guidance anticipates 15–20% order growth and a significant reduction in losses.
-
A major transformation over the past two years refocused operations on African consumers, cut costs, and built a resilient, asset-light logistics model. Growth is now driven by supply expansion, efficient marketing, and a shift to higher-margin product categories, with double-digit growth targeted in core markets.
-
Q3 2024 saw modest order and customer growth, with strong constant-currency GMV gains offset by FX headwinds. Strategic exits and warehouse upgrades position the business for efficiency and future growth, while liquidity was bolstered by a $94.7M equity raise.
-
Orders and GMV grew strongly in constant currency, offsetting currency devaluation impacts in key markets. Cost discipline led to reduced losses and cash burn, while new equity will support further growth and customer acquisition. Outlook for 2024 remains positive.
