Step One vs Temple and Webster
Surprising to see that the market values the 2 companies on a similar ratio of EV/FY 24 revenues (2.6 x for TPW vs 2.8 x for Step One), while they have very different EBITDA margins (2.6 % for TPW vs 20 % for Step One).
The main difference between the 2 companies : TPW has still a large share of drop shipping* which explains its lower gross margin (33 % vs 80 %+ for STP).
As a reminder, the 2 groups have a lot of comparable elements (even if they are not in the same category of products) :
- they sell only online,
- similar top line in FY 24 (+ 26 % vs +29 % for STP),
- similar level of repeat customers (around 60 %),
- high marketing costs (15 % of revenues for TPW vs 29 % Australia only for STP).
Some other comparisons between the 2 companies :
- average order value : 94.50 $ (+ 5 %) for STP vs 461 $** (- 5 % for TPW),
- conversion rate : 5.1 % for STP vs 2.8 % for TPW.
* it will change in the medium term as the company targets to have a majority of revenues from exclusive products (vs 43 % now).
The company also expects to reduce its fixed cost from 11 % of revenues now to less than 6 % in FY 28.
Overall, TPW targets an EBITDA margin of 15 % in the long term (before marketing investment in the brand, representing 2 % of revenues now).
