Regulatory News:
Spartoo (ISIN code: FR00140043Y1 - mnemonic: ALSPT), one
of the leading online retailers for fashion items in Europe,
announces, at the initiative of its manager, the decision of the
Grenoble Commercial Court, by judgment of today, to open a judicial
liquidation procedure for TOOSTORES R1, created in 2015, involving
the immediate cessation of activity at its 22 points of sales,
including 10 owned stores, with a total workforce of 54
employees.
Boris Saragaglia, co-founder and CEO of Spartoo, stated:
“Our request to open judicial liquidation proceedings concerning
the TOOSTORES R1 subsidiary had to be taken, with regret, but is
the consequence of the significant evolution of the rent index and
inflation on our fixed costs in a context of contracting demand.
These factors had a massive impact on operating profitability.
However, our omnichannel approach remains firmly at the heart of
our priorities, through an asset-light strategy focused on our
network of affiliates and the creation of corners. In this way, we
are preserving the strong synergies that exist between the online
sales model and physical points of sale, which support customer
loyalty while generating additional sales. It is through this
active management of our inventories and cash flow that we intend
to adapt to the current context of the online fashion market, to
take full advantage of the resumption of a profitable growth
dynamic.”
It is specified that this entity contributed to the balance
sheet and income statement aggregates of the Spartoo Group as a
whole. TOOSTORES R1 generated revenue of around €6 million, with a
net loss of around €2 million as of December 31, 2024.
The Group's other companies are not affected by the procedure,
and are continuing their business activities, in particular the
affiliation business model.
The indirect financial impact of this liquidation is estimated
at less than €500,000.
