Vente-unique.com: Semi-Annual Revenue Up by 15.2% to €112.7 Million
Vente-unique.com reports a dynamic first half with revenue increasing by 15.2% to €112.7 million, driven by accelerating growth from the first to the second quarter (respectively +11.7% and +18.9%). International markets have become the main growth driver, now accounting for 54% of sales, as the group heavily invests in new market openings in the UK and Ireland, as well as in its pan-European marketplace.
Accelerated Growth and Geographical Diversification Boost Revenues
The total business volume for the first half reached €159.7 million, up 20.9% compared to the same period last year. Consolidated revenue grew by 15.2% to €112.7 million, propelled by the e-commerce sector, which saw a 15.1% increase, and logistics, which rose by 22.9%. The momentum intensified over the semester: after a first quarter increase of 11.7%, revenue growth accelerated in the second quarter with a surge of 18.9%. This acceleration reflects the ramp-up of new growth drivers within the group. In e-commerce, Vente-unique.com's direct sales maintained a double-digit growth rate and accounted for nearly two-thirds of overall growth, while marketplace commissions skyrocketed with an increase of over 70%.
International Markets Emerge as the Main Engine with 54% of Revenues
The group's geography is reorganizing around its international presence. Northern and Eastern Europe lead the way with a growth of 22.5%, boosted by the success of launches in Scandinavia. Southern Europe, despite a challenging comparison base (the region had grown by 25.7% in the previous first half), achieved a new performance with an increase of 21.4%. France, although less dynamic than other areas in a less favorable environment, maintained robust growth of 7.7% and continued to gain market share. The marketplace now represents 19.5% of the e-commerce business volume, up by 4.5 points year-on-year, confirming the strategic role of this division in revenue diversification.
Rapid Deployment in 16 European Countries and Prospects for Marginal Stability
Since April 2026, the group has launched Vente-unique.com and its marketplace in the UK and Ireland, two major furniture markets in Europe. The marketplace also opened in the three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), bringing the total to 16 European countries covered. The group is also rolling out two new installations of its Habitat brand in the Netherlands and Italy. Financially, the group anticipates an adjusted EBITDA margin for the first half around 10%, close to the level generated over the previous fiscal year (10.4%) and above the second half of 2024-2025 (9.5%), despite one-time costs related to the opening and start-up of the new Moulins warehouse. The group remains confident in its ability to continue profitable growth throughout the rest of the fiscal year, in an unstable global geopolitical context. A dividend of €0.50 per share will be detached on June 3, 2026, up 31.6% from the previous fiscal year.
