Autodoc also sees profitable growth in 2019 and continues its expansion course in Europe (part 1) |
|
Berlin, 4 August, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Sales target for 2019 achieved: strong organic sales growth of 48% to EUR615m - EBITDA reaches EUR44.6m, up 50% - Operations expanded to Ireland in June 2020, bringing the total to 27 countries - Turnover target of over EUR800m for 2020 - Autodoc, Europe's leading online dealer in the automotive aftermarket, also grew profitably in the fiscal year 2019, thus continuing its consistent success story that began in its founding year of 2008. The company was able to significantly increase its sales and turnover of automotive spare parts, consumables and accessories on the internet. Net sales increased by 48% year-on-year to EUR615.0m (2018: EUR415m). As a result, Autodoc achieved its own sales target of over EUR600m. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 50% to EUR44.6m (2018: EUR29.7m). The return on sales improved slightly to 5.0% (2018: 4.8%). |
Autodoc's customers are end consumers (B2C) and increasingly also
corporate customers (B2B), especially independent workshops and
fleet providers. In addition to the automotive segment, Autodoc also
serves the truck segment and, since 2019, the motorcycle segment.
Autodoc sells its products exclusively via online shops and
marketplaces, thus completely doing without brick-and-mortar retail.
Consequently, the company is able to offer a much wider selection
than local retailers: the portfolio contains over 2.5 million
products from 545 brand manufacturers for more than 44,000
configurations of 128 car brands. Autodoc's success is based, among
other factors, on highly technology-oriented online marketing.
Autodoc operates its own IT, logistics and service infrastructure
for the reliable and efficient handling of the automotive parts
trade. Since June 2020, Autodoc also runs a website in Ireland and
is now represented in a total of 27 European countries. "The fiscal year 2019 was once again a very strong year for us and
proof that our growth strategy is successful. We are focusing on
early expansion into other European countries, a strong customer
focus and an aggressive pricing policy. We continued to improve our
profitability last year despite the strong expansion. Our market
offers enormous potential - e-commerce for automotive spare parts
will grow at an above-average rate in the coming years and will
allow customers to benefit from considerable cost advantages," says
Alexej Erdle, chief executive of Autodoc.
The market prospects for Autodoc are excellent: the changes brought
about by digitalisation are also having a positive effect on the
secondary market of the automotive industry. The sales market for
Autodoc has grown in recent years thanks to the trend towards
e-commerce in this segment. According to the McKinsey study "Ready
for Inspection", the potential of the European automotive
aftermarket is expected to grow to EUR295bn by 2030. The digital
market share is expected to offer the greatest growth potential. The
share of "digital entrants", which includes Autodoc, could grow from
currently less than 10% to 30%.
"Customer benefit and satisfaction have been our top priorities
since the company was founded: for example, we have further expanded
our services for customer-friendly apps. Among them is the 'Autodoc
Club', which includes an extension of the app for mobile devices,
the continuous addition of repair videos to our own YouTube channel,
and the special conditions programme for frequent customers," adds
Alexej Erdle. Autodoc, he says, has become a trendsetter for the
industry, and the company's initiatives and innovations are readily
emulated by competitors. The positive development for Autodoc continued in the first half of
2020 despite the coronavirus pandemic. In the first quarter, the
online dealer recorded a 30% increase in sales to EUR165m (Q1 2019:
EUR127m). Sales growth for the first half of the year amounts to
around 35%. Autodoc's business is cyclical - the company
traditionally generates most of its annual revenues in the fourth
quarter. For the full year 2020, Autodoc is expecting sales of more
than EUR800m.
