Delticom publishes Q3 business development: Increase in operating EBITDA by 43.0 %

Hanover, November 9, 2023 – Delticom AG (German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market symbol DEX), Europe's leading online retailer for tyres and complete wheels, publishes the key points of its business trends in the first nine months 2023 with this interim announcement.

  • Gross merchandise value (GMV) 9M amounted to € 361.1 million (9M 2022: € 390.9 million)
  • Revenues 9M totalled € 295.4 million (9M 2022: € 338.3 million)
  • Operating EBITDA 9M increased by 43.0 %
  • Net income 9M four times higher at € 1.3 million (9M 2022: € 0.3 million)
  • Full-year guidance confirmed


In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, Delticom AG continued to focus on profitability and increased its operating EBITDA from € 7.1 million to € 10.2 million.

In September, both the end customer business and the business with commercial customers were affected by the persistently warm weather. As a result, there was no early start to the winter tyre business at the end of the third quarter. Initial market indicators for Germany suggest that consumer demand for winter car tyres in September was around 40 % lower than in the same month last year. This means that overall car tyre sales in September were 15 % down on the same month last year. In view of the weak end customer demand, retail stockpiling was also weaker in September. According to initial market estimates, retailer demand for car tyres in Germany fell by 10 % in September. German online trade was also unable to escape the general inflation-induced reluctance of private end customers. According to the German E-Commerce and Distance Selling Trade Association (bevh), e-commerce revenues in the third quarter of 2023 fell by 13.9 % to € 17.05 billion compared to the same period in the previous year. Cumulative revenues for the first nine months of 2023 are therefore 13.7 % down on the previous year.

In this challenging market environment, the Delticom Group generated revenues of € 295.4 million in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, compared to € 338.3 million in the previous year. Revenues for the third quarter totalled € 97.7 million (Q3 2022: € 118.6 million). In addition to the weaker business performance, this development is largely due to a reclassification of revenues. In the current year, the previous shop business was supplemented by platform business. The company provides the technical infrastructure and its sales and process know-how to enable external third parties to sell goods online to Delticom's private and commercial end customers. This results in a partial shift of the shop business to distribution platforms. The company realises corresponding commission income for the shifted share of revenues.

The gross margin (gross margin excluding other operating income) increased from 21.4 % to 22.6 % in the first nine months of the current year. This is mainly the result of a change in the sales mix. Demand for low-priced quality tyres from Asian manufacturers remained comparatively high in the third quarter.

At € 2.6 million, EBITDA in the third quarter was significantly higher than in the previous year (Q3 2022: € -1.2 million). EBITDA for the 9M reporting period increased from € 7.7 million to € 9.4 million. After the first nine months of 2023, operating EBITDA totalled € 10.2 million (9M 2022: € 7.1 million).

The management confirms the full-year forecast for revenues in the range of € 470 million to € 504 million, which was adjusted in August due to the anticipated effect from the platform business. The forecast for operating EBITDA for the full year of between € 14 million and € 18.9 million continues to be confirmed.
