In Q2 2025, Westwing delivers strong adjusted EBITDA growth and confirms FY 2025 guidance
Munich, 7 August 2025 // Westwing Group SE (“Westwing” or “the Company”), Europe‘s #1 in Beautiful Living e-commerce and premium one-stop destination for design lovers, announces its results for the second quarter of 2025. In Q2 2025, Westwing continued to deliver a strong improvement in profitability. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 61% year-over-year to EUR 6 million (Q2 2024: EUR 4 million), corresponding to a margin of 6.3%, representing a year-over-year improvement of 2.6 percentage points. EBIT increased by EUR 5 million year-over-year to EUR 2 million (Q2 2024: EUR -3 million), reflecting the successful implementation of complexity reduction measures in 2024. The overall profitability uplift was driven by margin improvements, operational efficiency gains and disciplined cost management - all achieved despite negative scale effects. Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) declined by 3.6% year-over-year. This development was primarily driven by the negative topline impact of the transition to a more premium and smaller product assortment. Revenue amounted to EUR 100 million, representing a decline of 6.1% compared to the same period last year, in line with guidance. June GMV grew slightly with the upward trend strengthening in July. Westwing continues to expect a positive H2 2025. Free cash flow was negative at EUR -5 million in the second quarter of 2025 and net working capital stood at EUR 5 million end of June. Net working capital was primarily impacted by a reduction in trade payables, resulting from a temporary inventory build-up driven by the launch of a significant number of new Westwing Collection products in the first half of the year. Inventory levels are expected to decrease in the second half of 2025 with positive effects on net working capital. Net cash stood at EUR 50 million at the end of June. In the second quarter of 2025, Westwing made good progress on its 3-step value creation plan to unlock the full value potential:
The Company remains confident in achieving its operational and financial targets for 2025, laying the foundation for a return to high single- to double-digit growth in 2026, with further improved profitability.
CEO Statement Dr Andreas Hoerning, CEO of Westwing, commented: "Westwing delivered a strong first half of the year in terms of profitability, driven by the changes we successfully implemented in 2024. As we progress into the third phase of our 3-step value creation plan, we are well on track to unlock Westwing´s full value potential.”
Financial Outlook 2025 Westwing confirms its outlook for FY 2025, as published in March 2025. The Company delivered the first half of the year in line with expectations. The negative impact on topline development from the introduction of a mostly global, more premium and smaller product assortment is expected to ease during the second half of the year. Therefore, for the full year 2025, Westwing forecasts revenue between EUR 425 million and EUR 455 million with a year-over-year growth rate of -4% to +2%. While topline outlook remains dampened, the transformation of 2024 allows for significant profitability improvement in 2025. Westwing expects an adjusted EBITDA between EUR 25 million and EUR 35 million at an adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of +6% to +8%.
