Verkkokauppa.com Oyj released preliminary unaudited information regarding its 2024 financial results. The company's revenue declined by 6.9% to EUR 140.2 million in the last quarter of 2024, largely due to weak demand in discretionary categories such as Televisions, Mobile Phones, and Gaming, although IT and Toys performed better. For the full year 2024, revenue decreased by 7.0% to EUR 467.8 million. The comparable operating result (EBIT) for the fourth quarter was EUR 3.8 million, or 2.7% of revenue, showing an improvement driven by higher gross margins and cost-saving measures. However, the full year 2024 comparable EBIT was EUR 1.8 million, or 0.4% of revenue.
