Vinted quadruples profit in 2024 as revenue climbs to €813.4 million
In 2023, the company had posted €17.8 million in net profit. Since then, its adjusted EBITDA has grown from €76.6 million to €158.9 million. The group attributes this growth partly to the rollout of new product categories, including luxury goods and high-tech offerings.
Meanwhile, Vinted Go continued to grow its low-cost logistics service, supporting both its own sales volume and that of third-party brands. Currently available in France and the Benelux region, the service is scheduled to expand into Spain and Portugal in 2025.
For CEO Thomas Plantenga, the results reflect a 'combination of scaling, innovation, and cost control,' he explained. 'Given the market's potential size, we know there are huge opportunities ahead and a lot of work to do to capture them. We see our current position as a strong foundation to build that future, and we will continue to learn and improve. We are at the beginning of the journey and aiming high.'
The announcement also allowed Vinted to unveil Vinted Ventures, a new investment initiative to identify and support entrepreneurs and startups entering the 're-commerce' (second-hand online commerce) space and its value chain.
The company has hinted at the launch of new product categories in 2025. Vinted Marketplace CEO Adam Jay recently told FashionNetwork.com that the platform plans to broaden its offering while maintaining a core focus on apparel.
Currently active in 22 European countries, Vinted also announced plans to continue expanding geographically. France remained its largest market last year, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy.
Founded in 2008 in Vilnius, Vinted indicated at the end of 2024 that it has no immediate plans to go public, even after reaching a €5 billion valuation following a secondary investment round. The company's workforce grew by 19% in 2024, reaching 2,200 employees.

InSpecs upbeat on H2 despite tariffs threat clouding H1 sales, earnings
The threat of US tariffs loomed large over Inspecs Group's half-year results to end-June released Thursday (31 July) with sales and core earnings falling as a result. The eyewear designer, manufacturer and distributor makes and markets its own brands and has licenses for Barbour, Joseph, Radley, Superdry, Temperley, Viktor&Rolf and others. Its said group sales to the end of May were impacted by the uncertainty surrounding the prospects of US tariffs being implemented. This continued throughout June and as a result, group revenue for H1 dipped 2.9% to £100 million compared to H1 2024. On a constant currency basis, half-year revenue of £101.7 million was down 1.3%. The board said it expects to report underlying core earnings (EBITDA) for H1 of around £8.2 million, down from £10.1 million on a year-ago like-for-like basis. But it also said: 'We have a strong order book for H2 2025 and, once trade negotiations are settled, we expect our businesses affected by the tariffs to return to growth in the second half of the year. 'We have also secured the listing of key brands into the European and US markets. The operational efficiency and cost-saving plans, including the consolidation of our US, German and Swedish operations, are expected to yield additional savings in H2. As a result, we now expect full year revenue and underlying EBITDA to be in line with 2024 on a like-for-like basis".. In other news, InSpecs said it has completed a strategic review of its lens manufacturing subsidiary Norville (20/20), and the group's now in discussions with a number of strategically aligned buyers about a sale of the business as a going concern. Meanwhile, its monthly losses have been materially reduced in Q2. The company will release interim results on 18 September.

Not even the EU knows if wine and spirits will be hit by US tariffs
The EU executive has touted the new asymmetric tariff agreement with the Donald Trump administration, announced on Sunday, as a step toward predictability. Yet, less than a day before the US is expected to implement a new tariff ceiling of 15% on EU industrial goods, crucial details for several sectors, including wine and spirits, remain unresolved. Industry stakeholders are still holding out hope for exemptions, but no official list has been released. A Commission spokesperson admitted on Thursday that wine and spirits are likely to be subject to the tariffs. 'It is not our expectation that wine and spirits will be included in the first group of exemptions announced by the US tomorrow,' the spokesperson said. 'We're still negotiating,' they added, noting that both sides are working to finalise a joint statement based on the agreement reached between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump. Securing an exemption for the wine and spirits industry remains a top priority for the EU negotiating team in Brussels. This industry is seen as strategic—especially for France, which, along with Italy, Spain, and Ireland, is actively lobbying for these products to be spared. 'We are continuing to negotiate with the Americans so that, if possible, spirits, perhaps wine, and other sectors can be exempted. It's a work in progress,' said French Economy Minister Éric Lombard in a radio interview on Wednesday. The US and China are the top export markets for European wine and spirits. In France alone, the industry supports nearly 550,000 jobs across its value chain. Chinese tariffs are already impacting the sector, and new US duties would be a further blow. Both EU and US trade officials, along with major industry associations such as the Distilled Spirits Council and the Comité Européen des Entreprises Vins, have advocated for a 'zero-for-zero' tariff arrangement on wine and spirits. However, the EU's negotiating position has weakened, and Brussels no longer has effective leverage over these products. The past ability to threaten retaliatory tariffs on iconic American exports like bourbon or Californian wine often kept EU wine and spirits off the US target list. That option disappeared with the latest agreement reached in Scotland, leaving the EU less inclined to jeopardise the broader deal over a single sector. Adding to the uncertainty, the Commission spokesperson declined to confirm whether tariffs would be imposed as early as Friday, saying only that they had a 'clear understanding' the US intends to proceed via executive order, possibly overnight.

EU pushes for wine exemption to US tariffs
The EU said on Thursday, July 31, that it expects its wine sector to be hit along with most European products as US tariffs kick in this week, but negotiations are ongoing to secure a carve-out. Brussels and Washington struck a trade deal on the weekend which will see most EU exports face a 15% US tariff from Friday, with a number of exemptions, such as the aircraft sector, having been locked in so far. France, Italy and other wine making countries have pushed for zero tariffs for alcohol, including champagne, wines and spirits among carve-outs in the final deal, but those talks are ongoing. "It is not our expectation that wine and spirits will be included as an exemption in the first group announced by the US tomorrow, and therefore that sector, as with all other economic sectors, will be captured by the 15% ceiling," European Commission spokesman Olof Gill told a press conference. The commission, which is in charge of trade policy for the 27-nation bloc, was determined to achieve and secure the maximum number of carve-outs, including for wine and spirits, he added. "We are continuing to negotiate with our US partners," he said. Work on a joint statement ongoing The United States is the largest export destination for European wines, accounting for 27% of all exports in value, according to industry figures. The 15% rate agreed after months of negotiations is much higher than pre-existing US tariffs on European goods – averaging 4.8%. Yet it mirrors the status quo, with companies facing an additional flat rate of 10% imposed by Trump since April. The "framework" agreement struck on Sunday however only laid out the broad principles of the deal, and many details were still unclear or under negotiation. Gill said work was ongoing to finalise a joint statement that, although still not legally binding, should bring some clarity. "The US has made these commitments. Now it's up to the US to implement them. The ball is in their court," said Gill. On the US side, the majority of the measures in the deal are expected to be carried out by executive order.
