Westwing GMV Up 15% in Q2 2026

Westwing reported double-digit growth in the second quarter of 2026: Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) rose 15% to €127 million and revenue increased 14% to €113 million. Adjusted EBITDA reached €5.4 million but profit margins were pressured by higher transport costs and one-off effects from migrating order and warehouse systems. Free cash flow was negative €9.4 million, primarily due to payouts related to stock option programs, while net liquidity remained at €68 million. Westwing said active customers grew double-digit, it now operates in 26 countries, and it confirmed full-year revenue guidance of €470–495 million with management targeting the upper end of the range.
