Growth is the issue here27 Jan 2022 21:27
Looking at Q1 to Q4 figures, GTV is pretty much consistent. In fact I think Q1 was slightly higher than Q4. ROO is established in the UK along side JET, however it’s international performance is poor. It’s all about consolidation and ROO just can’t compete against the bigger fish. Just because Amazon is a share holder doesn’t mean they will continue to back the company. JET GTV is 28bill and it’s coming after the London market. It be interesting to see if ROO can hold its position. The whole industry is loss making which shows the business model needs to change. Hence the stampede of investors and the big drop in SP of all the players in this field.
And gross profit doesn’t taking into account administrative expenses, what it cost to run the businesses! ROO although better than most still only makes 7.5% of GTV which is not enough to cover marketing and growth. Hence the burn rate!
