The most pleasing aspect of this result for me is the decline in [Marketing spend]/Revenue to 13.0%, from 13.6% in 1H22 (and 13.2% in 2H21).
Note that the improvement has not been driven by a decline in the unit Customer Acquisition Cost, which has actually kept increasing (albeit at a much slower pace than previously observed) to 69$ from 66$ in 1H22 (and 58$ in 2H21); it is the simultaneous increase in Revenue per active customer (+6%), Repeat customer percentage (running now at ~55%) and Conversion rate (running at ~2.75%) that has more than offset the negative effect of a slightly higher CAC.
What this means is that, once the CAC actually starts coming down from its cycle highs (as previously discussed in the links below),

and as long as the above-mentioned organic growth drivers remain intact, the EBITDA margin improvement will be even more pronounced. The fact that Management have just upgraded their FY23 EBITDA margin guidance from 2%-4% to 3%-5% indicates some confidence in these dynamics playing out.
In big picture terms, the simultaneous a) stabilisation of long-term yields (albeit at a higher level, after the inflation-driven shock of earlier this year) and b) peaking of CACs, are benefiting all e-commerce names (hence the broad-based re-rating that has occurred across this sector); within this space, though, businesses that are self-funded and enjoy organic growth drivers are particularly well-positioned. Today’s result confirms that TPW belongs to the latter group, and the market seems to agree.
Cheers
P.S.: yesterday’s sell-off was in all likelihood driven by a broker downgrade (see below, great timing CS I must say!), rather than by anything getting “leaked”.
