The firm spent more than $25 million on marketing and advertising, nearly $22 million more than the previous half-year, which contributed significantly to the $8.3 million statutory net loss after tax. The company posted a $2.3 million profit in the H1 FY21.

“The financial results delivered over the first half of FY22 demonstrate the substantial progress we’ve made in executing our growth strategy,” Founder, CEO & Executive Director Dean Mintz commented.
“A number of important enhancements were implemented to our consumer proposition including further localisation, enabled by our proprietary e-commerce storefront solution, and investing in our brand.
“What excites us is that Cettire has only just started and is in the early stages of its growth journey.”
Cettire’s trading momentum has continued into H2 FY22 with the company recording a 242 per cent increase in unaudited gross revenue for January.
Our growth trajectory has continued into H2 FY22, where we have experienced a further acceleration in our growth rate in January,” Mr Mintz continued.
“Given the global growth opportunity available to Cettire, we will be running the business to maximise revenues by further investing in brand and customer acquisition, to drive long-term shareholder value.”
As of December 31, Cettire had a cash balance of $55.5 million and no debt, up from $47.1 million and no debt as at June 30, 2021.
This increase provides balance sheet flexibility to further capitalise on the multiple global growth opportunities Cettire is currently acting on.
