MYT Netherlands Parent B.V., the parent company of Mytheresa Group GmbH, announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2023 ended December 31, 2022. The luxury multi-brand digital platform delivered another quarter of solid growth with continued strong profitability, despite significant macroeconomic headwinds.
Michael Kliger, Chief Executive Officer of Mytheresa, said, “We are pleased with the solid growth in the second quarter which is driven by Mytheresa’s clear focus on the true high-end, wardrobe-building luxury customers and not the aspirational, occasional luxury shoppers who are more likely to be impacted negatively by an economic downturn. Our business has shown once more excellent financial strength and resilience against a backdrop of economic and geopolitical challenges, setting Mytheresa apart from other digital platforms in the same period.”
Kliger continued, “We have built a very resilient and agile business model. We are global, active across many luxury categories, uniquely focused on full-price selling and we have a high share of cost variability. This enables Mytheresa to deliver strong profitability even at times of slower growth. All of this, along with the consistently high-quality levels of services and creative productions, clearly places us as one of the few winners in the consolidating luxury ecommerce space.”
