CEO & Chairman of Management Board
Thank you, Fabienne. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Together with my partner in crime, our trusted CFO, Remko Rijnders, I will soon take you through the results of our first quarter in financial year ’25-’26. But let’s first recognize, Q1 is a very important quarter for us. It includes the full peak season around Black Week and Singles Day and Cyber Week and Christmas.
And in that quarter, we see millions of customers visiting our stores and our app. So at least statistically, you personally will have been part of those customers, too, and hopefully, even in real life and not just statistically. But effectively, it’s a stress test for us, a stress test to our business model
