CEO´s comment

In the second quarter of 2022 we continued to face a very challenging market environment. Unprecedented inflation levels and an uncertain economic outlook gave rise to low order volumes on our platform. Whilst we tried our best to counter this trend with innovative marketing and discounting campaigns, we nevertheless experienced a significant slowdown in the activity level of our customer base. At the same time, we continued to face increased competition from strong international platform players that are pushing into our market with high marketing spendings.

A key strategic measure for strengthening Rebelle’s competitive position in this market environment was M&A. With the support from our board we invested considerable resources throughout the quarter into the sourcing, assessment and execution of potential acquisitions. The key rationale behind these initiatives was to accelerate the path to critical mass, generate economies of scale and to diversify the geographical profile of our customer base.

As we had begun to approach the finishing line on a major acquisition opportunity, we became an M&A target ourselves. On 25 July 2022 the leading marketplace for secondhand fashion Vinted published an offer for all shares of Rebelle AB. Whilst it is certainly unusual to be taken over so shortly after an initial public offering (IPO), we are convinced that it is the right move for our company and our shareholders to support this offer: In parallel to the severe recent downturn in consumer sentiment we have experienced a harsh correction of the stock markets with small- and midcap ecommerce companies loosing up to 90% in share value in comparison to their peak valuations in 2021 thus creating a very different environment for our company. With this background we are glad that an overwhelming majority of our investors decided to support the public offer from Vinted as we feel that joining forces with a large and well-funded international player provides a safe harbour in uncertain times.
