Management now anticipates group GMV expansion of 13%-15% alongside Adjusted EBITDA growth of 13%-17% for the complete fiscal year.

Confirmed second quarter results demonstrated consolidated GMV growth of 14.4% with Adjusted EBITDA advancing 11.5% year-over-year. Both metrics exceeded prior company forecasts.

Within Poland, revenue expanded 14.4% while Adjusted EBITDA grew 11.3% compared to the previous year. The expansion was fueled by logistics operations, financial services offerings, advertising revenue, and pricing strategies.

GMV growth in Poland reached 12% year-over-year during the second quarter, representing more than triple the rate of nominal retail sales growth throughout the nation.

Foreign Markets Gain Traction

Allegro elevated its full-year Polish guidance to GMV expansion of 11%-13% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 11%-14%, representing increases from the prior ranges of 9%-11% and 7%-10% respectively.

Throughout its trio of foreign markets, GMV surged 85% year-over-year in the second quarter. Management attributed the performance to enhanced customer satisfaction metrics and improved marketplace engagement.

These international platforms now capture more than one-quarter of e-commerce shoppers and feature over 40 million active product listings, with 90% carrying prices below those of competitors.

In Czechia, the company’s primary foreign territory, offerings from domestic partners increased nearly one-third year-over-year during Q2.

The opening 10 weeks of the third quarter witnessed international GMV growth accelerating to roughly 100% year-over-year, propelling year-to-date group GMV expansion to approximately 15%.

Chief Executive Marcin Kusmierz stated the organization’s “engine is running on all cylinders in Q3,” noting Polish GMV accelerating further while international marketplaces are doubling annually.

Service Offerings and Logistics Network Grow

Allegro Pay represented 16.4% of second quarter GMV, while loan origination increased 35% year-over-year to 4.5 billion zlotys.

Allegro Smart! exceeded 9 million subscribers. Allegro Delivery currently encompasses more than 40,000 parcel lockers and nearly 35,000 collection points, including over 11,000 Allegro One Boxes.

The platform recently established an office in Shenzhen to establish direct connections with regional merchants and maintain platform compliance standards in China.

The company targets concluding 2026 with international GMV approximately 2 billion zlotys higher than 2025 levels, with profitability for international operations anticipated in 2029.

Discussions to extend its partnership with parcel locker provider InPost through 2031 are advancing. The proposed agreement would incorporate reduced delivery costs, a revised price indexation mechanism, and multi-year volume commitments.

Chief Financial Officer Jon Eastick will be replaced next month by Katarzyna Ostap-Tomann.
