BERLIN, April 20, 2021 // Zalando SE expects first quarter results above market expectations, as a result of a stronger-than-expected start to the spring-summer season as well as a lower-than-expected return rate.

According to preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2021, Zalando increased Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) by 54.5-56.5% to 3.13-3.17 billion euros (Q1 2020: 2.0 billion euros) and revenues by 46-48% to 2.22-2.26 billion euros (Q1 2020: 1.5 billion). Zalando expects an adjusted EBIT in the same period between 80-100 million euros (Q1 2020: -98.6 million euros).

The median of the analysts' consensus surveyed by the company as of March 29, 2021, was 50.0% for GMV growth, 45.5% for revenue growth and 41 million euros for adjusted EBIT.

Zalando will publish its financial figures for the first quarter 2021 on May 6, 2021, at 07.00 CET.
