CONTINUED GROWTH IN Q3 2022, ON TRACK TO DELIVER FULL YEAR GUIDANCE
BERLIN & SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Marley Spoon AG (“Marley Spoon” or the “Company” ASX: MMM), a leading global subscription-based meal kit provider, is pleased to share with investors its highlights from the quarter ended 30 September 2022 (“Q3 2022”).
Conference Call
Management will present a business update to investors on a conference call at 5:30 pm AEDT on 27 October, the details of which have been released separately to ASX.
Highlights:
Marley Spoon CEO, Fabian Siegel, highlighted, “Marley Spoon delivered an improved Operating EBITDA result, in line with our expectations, and good year-over-year growth despite volatile market conditions and inflationary pressures. We are carefully managing our marketing investment to deliver results in the second half in-line with our internal plan and 2022 guidance. Achieving our growth goals while carefully managing costs underscores the reliability of our business model.
As the business continues to grow healthily, we were also able to expand margins by 160 basis points quarter-over-quarter in an inflationary environment, driven by operational improvements in the US and our ability to pass on cost inflation through the pricing power our brands enjoy.
A review is being conducted of the European business and initiatives are underway to improve the performance and turn the business to profitability. As part of this turnaround plan, the Company has made some leadership changes, including hiring, among others, a new Head of European Production to strengthen the European operations leadership team. In addition, Ebony Morczinek has stepped down as CEO of the EU region, which will now be led by myself directly until further notice.
The increased scale and improved margin led to a sequential improvement of Operating EBITDA both quarter-over-quarter as well as year-over-year, reducing our Q3 2022 Operating EBITDA loss to €(1.0)m.”
