MARKET OUTLOOK FOR 2026
General market demand is expected to recover only gradually in 2026 amid subdued consumer confidence. Private consumption is forecast to start growing during the year as real earnings increase and the labor market slowly strengthens. Purchasing power is supported by moderate inflation, while a high household savings rate enhances consumers’ financial resilience. Competition is expected to remain intense.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR 2026
Verkkokauppa.com expects its revenue and comparable operating result for 2026 to increase. In 2025, the company's revenue was EUR 526.5 million and comparable operating result was EUR 14.8 million. Guidance includes uncertainties related to changes in purchasing power and consumer behavior. Verkkokauppa.com’s business is seasonal and the company’s revenue and operating result depend largely on the sales in the fourth quarter.
CEO PANU PORKKA’S REVIEW
Closing the year with strong momentum
Verkkokauppa.com ended the year on a high note, with fourth‑quarter revenue increasing by 20.1 percent compared to the previous year amounting to EUR 168.3 million, while full‑year revenue grew by 12.5 percent to EUR 526.5 million. This marked the third consecutive quarter of double‑digit growth, reflecting the company’s strong commercial performance during the peak season. Black Friday was one of the key successes of the year, with sales during the campaign increasing by 22 percent compared to the previous year, driven by exceptionally high customer activity. Supported by strong commercial performance, Verkkokauppa.com further strengthened its position as the leading Finnish e‑commerce player and clearly outperformed the market in a highly competitive environment.
Operational efficiency improved profitability
Throughout the quarter, Verkkokauppa.com maintained disciplined commercial execution and strong operational efficiency. Gross margin remained resilient at 16.3 percent (16.6%) despite an intense promotional environment, supported by improved supplier terms, dynamic pricing, and focused assortment management. Fixed costs decreased as a percentage of revenue, reflecting improved cost efficiency. Supported by strong revenue growth and effective cost management, profitability improved significantly. Verkkokauppa.com delivered one of the strongest fourth‑quarter comparable operating results in its history, amounting to EUR 5.8 million and corresponding to 3.4 percent of revenue.
Strong financial position at year-end
The company’s financial position remained strong during the quarter. Inventory levels were actively managed and stood at EUR 64.9 million at the end of the quarter. Strong profitability, a solid balance sheet and a healthy cash position provide a sound foundation for the company’s growth and long‑term strategic objectives.
Focused strategy execution accelerated international growth and the development of fast deliveries
Consistent strategy execution continued to drive growth, with international operations acting as a clear growth engine. International revenue increased by 88.8 percent to EUR 17.6 million, supported by strong performance in Sweden and continued growth among key accounts in Central Europe. Growth was supported by a broadened assortment, the ramp-up of the company’s marketplace partnerships, improved delivery capabilities, and increased sales through the company’s own channels. Core product categories, particularly TVs and entertainment, were key contributors to the growth.
The volume of one‑hour deliveries increased by 96 percent compared to the previous year, reflecting strong customer demand and successful channel development. Fast deliveries are increasingly becoming the new standard in e‑commerce, strengthening customer satisfaction and loyalty, as evidenced by an excellent NPS of 77 for the service. Operational efficiency and delivery speed reinforce the company’s competitive advantage and position Verkkokauppa.com clearly as a market leader in fast deliveries.
Looking ahead
Consistent strategy execution and the performance achieved during the year demonstrate that the company is progressing in the right direction. Verkkokauppa.com enters 2026 with confidence, building on a strong strategic foundation. We look forward to welcoming investors to our Capital Markets Day on 28 May 2026, where management will provide further insight into the company’s strategic priorities and long‑term value creation agenda. The invitation and participation instructions will be published later.
Finally, I want to extend my sincere thanks to our employees for their dedication, to our customers for their continued trust, and to our shareholders and partners for their support. Together, I look forward to building another successful year.

OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2025
Operating Environment
Consumer confidence remained weak in the fourth quarter, despite some improvement in consumers’ views of their own economy at present. Expectations for the economy stayed subdued, and willingness to spend or take on new debt remained very low amid continued concerns over unemployment. At the same time, consumers maintained a high savings rate, reflecting continued caution in household behavior (Statistic Finland). In specialty retail, signs of stabilization were observed, and the demand for consumer electronics was supported by the ongoing IT device renewal cycle (ETU ry). In this environment, Verkkokauppa.com outperformed the market with strong performance across multiple product categories (GfK).
Revenue
Revenue growth was broad‑based across segments and categories, with overall revenue increasing by 20.1 percent compared to previous year to EUR 168.3 million (140.2). Growth was particularly strong in the IT category, driven by the transition to the Windows 11 operating system and the continuation of the computer replacement cycle. Successful commercial actions, such as a well‑executed Black Friday campaign, further strengthened performance. International sales also continued to develop strongly, increasing by 88.8 percent compared to the previous year.
Consumer sales increased by 15.2 percent to EUR 114.5 million (99.4), accounting for 68.0 percent (70.9%) of revenue. Growth in consumer sales was driven by strong commercial execution, targeted marketing campaigns and good product availability throughout the peak season. B2B sales increased by 31.9 percent to EUR 53.8 million (40.8), accounting for 32.0 percent (29.1%) of revenue. Growth was primarily driven by strong development in international sales, as well as continued strength in the IT category.
Online sales increased by 29.3 percent to EUR 121.3 million (93.8), accounting for 72.1 percent (66.9%) of total revenue. Growth was driven by a significant increase in website visits and the expansion of fast delivery options, which continued to gain traction among customers. Store sales remained stable at EUR 47.0 million (46.4). The share of store sales declined to 27.9 percent (33.1%) of total revenue, reflecting the continued shift in sales channels.
Core categories’ sales increased by 25.1 percent to EUR 139.2 million (111.3), accounting for 82.7 percent (79.4%) of total revenue. Growth was supported by broad-based development across product categories and was particularly strong in the IT and Entertainment categories. Sales in other categories increased by 0.8 percent to EUR 29.1 million (28.8), representing 17.3 percent (20.6%) of revenue.
Own brands’ sales increased by 0.9 percent to EUR 9.6 million (9.5), accounting for 5.7 percent (6.8%) of revenue. Although sales increased slightly, the relative share of own brands declined, as A‑brands captured a larger share of demand during the fourth quarter, supported by strong promotional activity.
The company’s self‑financed consumer finance business was sold in September 2025, and therefore no revenue was generated from this business in the fourth quarter of 2025. Commission income from consumer credit intermediation is recognized as revenue.
Result
Gross margin decreased slightly to 16.3 percent (16.6%) but remained resilient in an intense promotional environment, supported by improved commercial terms, efficient inventory turnover and successful assortment management.
Personnel expenses increased by 1.6 percent to EUR 9.8 million (9.6). Comparable personnel expenses increased by 9.6 percent to EUR 9.8 million (8.9). Other operating expenses increased by 18.4 percent to EUR 10.9 million (9.2). Comparable other operating expenses increased by 13.9 percent to EUR 10.3 million (9.1). Fixed costs totaled EUR 20.7 million (18.9), increasing by 9.8 percent compared to the comparison period. Comparable fixed costs increased by 11.7 percent to EUR 20.1 million (18.0). The increase was mainly driven by higher volumes and targeted marketing investments.
The company’s operating result (EBIT) was EUR 5.2 million (3.0), an increase of EUR 2.3 million from the previous year. Comparable operating result (comparable EBIT) reached EUR 5.8 million (3.8), improving by EUR 2.0 million compared to the previous year.
Items affecting comparability totaled EUR ‑0.6 million (-0.8) and were related to the administrative fine imposed by the Regional State Administrative Agency.
The result for the period was EUR 4.1 million (2.6). Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.09 (0.06).
JANUARY–DECEMBER 2025
Revenue
The year was characterized by consistently strengthening revenue growth, which accelerated toward the end of the year, supported by growth in online sales, strong commercial execution and successful seasonal campaigns. As a result, revenue increased by 12.5 percent to EUR 526.5 million (467.8). Growth was supported at the category level particularly by the company’s key categories, IT and Entertainment. In the IT category, strong computer sales were driven by both successful commercial actions and the start of replacement cycles. In Finland, the transition to high‑definition broadcasting accelerated sales in the TV category, particularly during the second quarter. In addition, international sales developed strongly throughout the year, increasing by 50.8 percent.
Consumer sales increased by 10.5 percent to EUR 360.0 million (325.8), accounting for 68.4 percent (69.6%) of revenue. Growth was driven by successful seasonal campaigns, strong commercial execution, and the start of replacement cycles, particularly in core categories. B2B sales increased by 17.2 percent to EUR 166.5 million (142.1), accounting for 31.6 percent (30.4%) of revenue. Growth was supported by strong development in international sales, as well as continued strength in the IT category.
Online sales increased by 18.9 percent to EUR 366.5 million (308.2), accounting for 69.6 percent (65.9%) of revenue. Growth was supported by a significant increase in website visits and the expansion of fast delivery options. Store sales grew by 0.2 percent to EUR 160.0 million (159.7). The share of store sales declined to 30.4 percent (34.1%) of revenue, reflecting the continued channel shift.
Core categories’ sales increased by 15.4 percent to EUR 436.1 million (377.9), accounting for 82.8 percent (80.8%) of revenue. Growth was driven by broad‑based development across product categories, with particularly strong growth in the IT and Entertainment categories. This overall performance reflects both strong demand and successful commercial execution in the company’s core areas. Sales in other categories rose by 0.5 percent to EUR 90.4 million (89.9), representing 17.2 percent (19.2%) of revenue.
Sales of own brands increased by 13.7 percent to EUR 35.2 million (31.0), and their share of revenue rose to 6.7 percent (6.6%). While own brand sales grew strongly, the broad‑based increase in total revenue and a shift in customer demand toward A-brands balanced their relative share.
Revenue from customer financing services amounted to EUR 5.8 million (7.8), including interest income, fees and commissions, and was generated during the first three quarters of the year. As a result of the sale of the company’s self‑financed consumer financing business, no revenue was generated in the fourth quarter, which limits comparability. Commission income from consumer credit intermediation is recognized as revenue.
Result
Gross margin increased to 17.1 percent (16.2%), driven by improved commercial terms, efficient inventory turnover and successful assortment management.
Personnel expenses decreased by 1.4 percent to EUR 35.4 million (35.9). Comparable personnel expenses increased slightly by 0.4 percent to EUR 35.4 million (35.2). Other operating expenses increased by 4.6 percent to EUR 34.4 million (32.9), while comparable other operating expenses increased by 5.5 percent to EUR 34.2 million (32.4). Fixed costs totaled EUR 69.8 million (68.8), increasing by 1.5 percent compared with the comparison period. Comparable fixed costs increased by 2.9 percent to EUR 69.6 million (67.6). The increase in costs was mainly driven by expenses required to support higher sales volumes as well as marketing investments.
The company’s operating result (EBIT) amounted to EUR 17.4 million (0.6), increasing by EUR 16.8 million compared with the comparison period. Comparable operating result (comparable EBIT) was EUR 14.8 million (1.8), increasing by EUR 13.0 million year on year.
Items affecting comparability totaled EUR 2.5 million (‑1.2), mainly related to the non‑recurring gain from the sale of the consumer finance business and the administrative fine imposed by the Regional State Administrative Agency.
Result for the period was EUR 12.4 million (-0.8). Earnings per share were EUR 0.27 (-0.02).
FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS
In 2025, operating cash flow totaled EUR 21.6 million (12.9). The operating cash flow before the change in working capital was EUR 24.4 million (7.0). The company's net financial expenses were EUR -2.1 million (-2.2).

In addition, the company had an unutilized EUR 25 million revolving credit facility, which is valid until June 2027. The principal of the bank loan is amortized every six months.
On 4 September 2025, Verkkokauppa.com completed the sale of its consumer finance business to Norion Bank AB and its payment solutions unit, Walley, for a final sale price of EUR 32.6 million. The transaction generated a gain of EUR 3.2 million, which is included in other operating income.
Apart from the non-recurring gain, the transaction is not expected to have a significant impact on Verkkokauppa.com’s results, but it significantly strengthens the company’s balance sheet structure.
Verkkokauppa.com also signed a long-term partnership agreement with Walley to provide consumer financing to its customers, supporting the company's growth and long-term objectives. Under this arrangement, Verkkokauppa.com earns commissions on consumer credit intermediation.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND BUSINESS UNCERTAINTIES
Verkkokauppa.com’s risk management is proactive and a central part of the company's daily management. Risks cover both threats and opportunities that may have an impact on the company's future success, financial performance, reputation and ability to meet key social and sustainability objectives.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, such as global trade wars, inflation, interest rate changes and market uncertainty, can affect supply chains, consumer purchasing power and buying behavior. Managing these risks requires constant monitoring of market conditions, proactive measures and an adaptive strategy.
Information security’s growing importance and professionally evolving cybercrime, the risks associated with business continuity and the protection of critical information have increased significantly. Cyberattacks can target, for example, business-critical information systems or personal data, leading to disruption of sales, loss of customer confidence and possible regulatory sanctions.
From a regulatory and compliance perspective, the tightening of EU legislation underlines the importance of compliance activities. Particular attention should be paid to data regulation and compliance with AI legislation.
Commercial and operational risks relate to brand positioning, competitive dynamics, product portfolio management, supply chain efficiency and operational excellence. Managing these risks is key to ensuring the company's long-term competitiveness.
Product safety failure or supply chain quality assurance can lead to financial losses, reputational damage and, in the worst case, compromise of customer safety. Our own products are developed and manufactured to stringent standards, and we invest in continuous process improvement to maintain confidence in our products in all situations.
Financial risks, including profitability, balance sheet structure, working capital efficiency, liquidity, access to funding, covenants and credit risks, require continuous analysis and management to ensure the financial stability and profitable growth of the company.
An assessment of the main risks and uncertainties in the business is presented in the 2024 Board of Directors’
Report.
