Profitability target 2024 fully met

Dresden, March 7, 2025 – BIKE24 Holding AG (the “Company”) has reaffirmed its return to growth after a strong final quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded revenue growth of 7% compared to the same period the prior year. At the same time, the profitability target for 2024 was fully met: Based on the preliminary fully-year 2024 results, adjusted EBITDA will be ca. EUR 5 million, while a loss of EUR 3 million was recorded in 2023. The revenue of one of the leading European bike and accessories e-commerce platform remained stable at EUR 226 million for the full year 2024 in a still challenging market environment.

Timm Armbrust, CFO of BIKE24, commented: "2024 was a very successful and eventful year for us, as we managed to return to profitability. This is primarily due to our excellent operational handling of the daily challenges in a market still characterized by overstock. After an operating loss in the fiscal year 2023, we were able to return to profitability with an adjusted EBITDA of EUR 5 million in 2024. This positive momentum continued in the first months of 2025. The foundation for this positive development was our consistent focus on bike enthusiasts and an adapted purchasing policy that takes into account the currently difficult market conditions. As a result, we were able to increase the gross margin by ca. 3 percentage points compared to 2023 to more than 27%.”

Andrés Martin-Birner, co-founder and CEO of BIKE24, adds: "It is great to see that BIKE24 has found its way back to consistent profitability. We were also able to record a steady improvement in top-line growth rates over the last quarters. After a revenue decline of 11% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year, revenue grew by 1% in the second quarter, by 3% in the third quarter, and finally by 7% in the fourth quarter. In January and February 2025, we were even able to generate double digit revenue growth."

BIKE24 had a great start to 2025, expanding on its strategy of localizing its e-commerce platform. The country-specific online shops in Poland and Finland went live even a few weeks earlier than planned.

The full results for the fiscal year 2024 will be published on March 26, 2025.

Timm Armbrust will leave the Company at his own request after 9 years as CFO on June 30, 2025. During his tenure, Timm Armbrust played a key role in the successful development of BIKE24. His most important contributions include:

• Successful IPO in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 2021, with a volume of EUR 322 million
• Steering the Company through the severe crisis in the bicycle industry over the past two and a half years

Andres Martin-Birner, founder and CEO of BIKE24, says: "Timm has accompanied BIKE24 during a crucial growth phase and with his strong commitment significantly contributed to the development of the Company. We deeply regret his departure, thank him for his outstanding work, and wish him all the best for the future."

Timm Armbrust himself comments on his departure: "After the successful return to profitability, the successful extension of the Company's financing until April 30, 2027, and a very good start to 2025, the time has come for me to take on a new challenge. I sincerely thank the entire team for all their contributions and collaboration and look back with pride on our time together."
