Cohort analysis for new Redbubble customers added during 2H CY19 and CY20 demonstrates:

For personal use only

  • The "COVID cohort" (customers who made their first purchase on the Redbubble marketplace in 2H CY20) was 64% larger than the prior comparable period cohort (customers who made their first purchase on the Redbubble marketplace in 2H CY19)

  • Repeat purchase rate within 12-months for the "COVID cohort" was strong at 20.3%, and similar to the repeat purchase rate of 21.7% for the prior comparable period cohort

  • Given the COVID cohort was significantly larger this is an encouraging indication of the business' ability to retain the "COVID cohort" customers and build loyalty at scale

Outlook

Regarding the recent share price movements experienced across the broader technology sector, including Redbubble, the Board does not believe that the current share price reflects the fundamentals and prospects of the business. Redbubble continues to actively investigate value enhancing options on behalf of all stakeholders. These include both organic and inorganic opportunities that could assist in the acceleration of shareholder value, as part of usual considerations for the Board and company.

Redbubble reiterates previous guidance: FY22 Marketplace Revenue is expected to be slightly below FY21 underlying Marketplace Revenue6. FY22 EBITDA margin as a percent (%) of Marketplace Revenue is expected to be negative low single digits.

The business remains committed to its medium term aspirations to grow GTV to more than $1.5 billion, to grow Artist Revenue to $250 million, and to produce Marketplace Revenue of $1.25 billion per annum. EBITDA margin is also expected to expand significantly over the medium-term with top-line growth.

This announcement was authorised for lodgment by Redbubble Limited's Disclosure Committee.
