Nicolas Chartier and Guillaume Paoli,
co-founders3 of Aramis
Group:“Aramis Group maintained its strategic course in
2023 and achieved its objectives, generating profitable and
sustainable growth. The Group once again demonstrated its
outstanding adaptability: faced with a further deteriorating and
demanding market, our teams showed a high level of responsiveness,
ensuring our customers received quality vehicles at the best prices
throughout the year. The beginning of the year was still affected
by a shortage of supply, particularly a very low availability of
pre-registered cars. The situation gradually improved over 2023,
with vehicle prices and supply conditions that slowly eased
(notably, the pre-registered vehicle segment began to normalize),
allowing for an improvement in our offering and our margins.
Coupled with cost discipline and active inventory management, we
were able to return to profitability and cash generation, before
considering the outflows relating to the acquisition of other
companies. Aramis Group operates at the heart of the circular
economy; we are convinced that we can deliver sustainable growth in
the short, medium, and long term. While the used car market will
remain uncertain for several more quarters, the start of our 2024
fiscal year is in line with the positive trend observed in recent
months, and we approach it with confidence. We are convinced that
our competitive advantages will be unique assets to further
consolidate our leadership this year, and allow us to achieve our
ambition of becoming the preferred platform for Europeans willing
to buy a used car online.”
MAJOR
DEVELOPMENTS IN 2023
In 2023, Aramis Group continued the
implementation of its strategy, despite a still volatile market
context.
The year was marked primarily by the Group’s
continued geographic expansion in European countries with strong
potential, in line with the second pillar from its growth strategy.
Illustrating this, Aramis Group acquired Onlinecars, the market
leader for used car sales in Austria, and Brumbrum, Italy’s only
fully online distributor of used vehicles, following Cazoo's exit
from Continental Europe. Extensive work was carried out in 2023 to
integrate these new subsidiaries, leading to a major reduction in
the level of inventory held by Onlinecars (c.-€17 million at
end-September 2023 compared with at the time of the acquisition),
in addition to gradually relaunching the activities and
rationalizing the organization of Brumbrum, which expects to see
strong sales growth in 2024.
Alongside this, in February 2023, Aramis Group
inaugurated a second refurbishing center in the UK. Located in
Hull, Yorkshire, this center will significantly increase the
refurbishing capacity in place in this country, while delivering
productivity and efficiency gains for vehicle processing.
In several countries, the Group’s teams have
also adapted their industrial processes to changes in their local
market. For instance, Clicars, Aramis Group’s Spanish subsidiary,
following six years of exponential growth, launched an optimization
of several of its industrial flows. First of all, at its Villaverde
refurbishing center (south of Madrid), to adapt its production
methods in line with the diversification of the vehicle types to be
refurbished (increase in the proportion of vehicles purchased from
private owners) and to further gain productivity to continue
fueling its growth. Then, in its logistics and customer approach,
with two customer centers opened in addition to the longstanding
Villaverde hub: one in Saragossa (2,000 sq.m of showroom space,
opened in October 2023) and another in Valencia (upcoming).
Finally, Aramis Group recently announced two
in-house promotions that will contribute to the continuation of its
profitable growth trajectory and the achievement of its ambition to
become the preferred platform for Europeans for buying a used car
online. Fabien Geerolf, previously CFO of Aramisauto, Aramis
Group’s French subsidiary, who has developed his expertise in a
challenging environment over the last two years, was appointed as
the Group’s Chief Financial Officer. Ivan Velasco, previously CTO
of Clicars, who was instrumental in developing all of the brand's
technological tools and played a key role in establishing its
leadership in the online sale of used vehicles in Spain, was
appointed as the Group’s Chief Technology Officer.
2023 FULL-YEAR
ACTIVITY
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Group
recorded €1,944.8 million of revenues, up +9.9% from 2022 on a
reported basis and +0.7% excluding the acquisitions in Austria and
Italy. Despite the deterioration in the market, Aramis Group was
able to maintain a positive trend for its B2C vehicle sales,
capitalizing on the competitive advantages generated by its unique
and vertically integrated business model.

Analysis of the change in volumes and
revenues
B2C – sales of cars to private customers (84% of
revenues)
Revenues for the B2C segment –
corresponding to sales of refurbished and pre-registered cars to
private customers – climbed to €1,635.8 million in 2023, up +12.0%
from 2022. For the 2022 scope, i.e. excluding the acquisitions in
Austria and Italy, B2C segment revenues show a +1.9% increase.
Revenues for the refurbished cars
segment totaled €1,391.7 million, up +14.5% from 2022 on a
reported basis and +2.4% for the 2022 scope. In total, 78,441
vehicles were delivered in 2023, up +13.1% from 2022, with +1.2%
excluding the acquisitions in Austria and Italy. Although it
focused more on profitability and inventory rotation in 2023,
Aramis Group maintained its trend for positive growth and
outperformed the market for less than eight years old used
vehicles4, which contracted by -5.3%5 over the same period, on
average across the Group’s six geographies.
This performance reflects the Group’s effective
management of the various key success factors for the business of
buying and selling used vehicles online. Thanks to its knowledge of
local consumers and the sourcing network that it has successfully
built up over the years across Europe, Aramis Group has developed
an outstanding ability to identify and offer models that are
aligned with its customers’ needs. In addition, its pricing is
always competitive in relation to the quality of the products and
services offered, thanks in particular to its industrial-scale
vehicle refurbishing capabilities.
Revenues for the pre-registered cars
segment6 came to €244.1 million, with a
slight contraction of -0.5% versus 2022. This performance reflects
negative price and mix effects, masking the gradual upturn in
volumes for this business line over the months. In total, 13,622
units were delivered over the full year in 2023, up +10.3%. Volumes
for the second half of 2023 came in +82% higher than the second
half of 2022 and +52% higher than the first half of 2023,
confirming the reacceleration on the pre-registered vehicle market.
In comparison, volumes for the first half of 2023 were down -31%
versus the first half of 2022. Despite this significant
improvement, the volumes of pre-registered vehicles sold by Aramis
Group during the second half of 2023 were still around half the
level from the previous half-year performance peak, recorded in
2020 prior to this market segment’s collapse.
B2B – sales of cars to professional customers (11% of
revenues)
Revenues for the B2B segment came to €205.3
million in 2023, down -5.8% from 2022. This activity’s development
reflects the pricing trends on the market and the sourcing of
vehicles from private owners, some of which are resold to
professionals (mainly vehicles over eight years old or 150,000 km).
As the origins for sourcing used vehicles for refurbishing
rebalanced in 2023, with 52% purchased from private owners and 48%
from professionals, compared with 57% and 43% respectively in 2022,
the change in B2B revenues is logical.
Services (5% of revenues)
Services generated €103.7 million of revenues in
2023, up +14.4% compared with 2022. The average penetration rate
for financing solutions over the year was 46%, compared with 49% in
2022, with this slight dip linked to the dilutive impact of the new
companies acquired in Austria and Italy, whose average penetration
rate for financing solutions is significantly lower than the
companies from the 2022 scope. On a constant perimeter, it stands
at 49%, stable compared with 2022.
Geographically, the +10.5% revenue growth in
France to €802.2 million benefited from the marked upturn in
pre-registered vehicle sales, as well as the solid performance for
refurbished vehicle sales, despite the potential trade-offs made by
consumers between these two types of vehicles. The total volume of
B2C vehicle sales is up c.+14% compared with 2022, in a market7
that is down c.-10%. The price and mix effects had a negative
impact of c.-2% on revenues from vehicles sold to private owners
over the period.
The -9.8% fall in UK revenues to €390.5 million
is linked to a c.-3% drop in the volume of B2C vehicle sales for
CarSupermarket, Aramis Group’s subsidiary in this country, in a
market7 that is down c.-7% compared with 2022. The price and mix
effects had a c.-6% impact on revenues from B2C vehicle sales over
the period, with CarSupermarket looking to offer its customers
products whose ranges, ages and mileage levels make them more
accessible.
Lastly, the -8.0% drop in revenues in Spain to
€340.1 million is linked mainly to Clicars, Aramis Group’s
subsidiary in this country, adjusting the production methods at its
Villaverde refurbishing center, which temporarily impacted its
production levels and therefore the number of vehicles offered on
its website and its volumes sold.
INCOME
STATEMENT
In 2023, Aramis Group was able to not only
maintain a positive trend for its B2C vehicle sales, but also
return to profitability, in line with the commitments set out by
the Group. The income statement for the period highlights three key
elements: 1/ the good business trends independently from the still
challenging market context, 2/ the solidity of the gross profit per
unit generated on each vehicle sold, highlighting the robustness of
the business model, 3/ the effective management of overheads,
enabling the Group to return to a positive adjusted EBITDA.

Gross profit
The gross profit for 2023 is up +13.6% from 2022
to €198.9 million. The gross profit per unit generated per B2C
vehicle sold (GPU) came to €2,161, representing an improvement from
2022, despite the dilutive impact of the consolidation of the
companies acquired in Austria and Italy. Restated for these
acquisitions, it represents €2,267, up +5.8% compared with 2022.
This GPU is a benchmark for listed operators in Europe, reflecting
Aramis Group’s effective management and expertise across all the
links in the value chain, built up since it was founded 22 years
ago.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 came to €9.6 million,
materializing an improvement by more than €20 million compared with
2022. For the 2022 scope, excluding the acquisitions in Austria and
Italy, it totaled €13.2 million, with the company acquired in
Austria generating a positive adjusted EBITDA of €1.5 million and
the company in Italy posting a -€5.1 million loss.
Throughout the year, Aramis Group maintained its
discipline with the management of its sales, general and
administrative costs (SG&A). They totaled €189.3 million in
2023, with a limited increase of +1.9% versus 2022 on a reported
basis and a marked reduction of -4.9% for the 2022 scope, despite
the higher volumes recorded over the period, which increased the
variable component.
Within this amount, marketing costs represent
€31.1 million, down -20.3% from 2022, following Aramis Group’s
decision to adapt its brand building and traffic acquisition
strategy to the market environment. Personnel expenses recognized
in SG&A totaled €97.5 million, up +13.3% from 2022, primarily
reflecting the impact of the integration of the new subsidiaries.
Vehicle delivery costs totaled €27.4 million, down -9.4% despite
the increase in the volumes sold, as the Group rationalized some of
its logistics flows. Lastly, other SG&A, which include
overheads and head office costs, represent €33.3 million, up +9.5%
compared with 2022, once again linked mainly to the impact of the
integration of the new subsidiaries.
Operating income
Operating income for 2023 totaled -€20.9
million, compared with -€51.8 million in 2022. This amount includes
-€10.0 million of personnel expenses relating to acquisitions,
-€1.0 million of personnel expenses linked to share-based payments,
-€2.1 million of transaction-related costs, and -€31.5 million of
depreciation charges. It also includes restructuring costs for
-€1.3 million, as well as a fair value surplus (badwill) of +€15.4
million, reflecting Brumbrum’s acquisition for a symbolic
price.
Net profit (loss)
The net loss for 2023 came to -€32.3 million,
compared with -€60.2 million in 2022, with the Group nearly halving
its losses. It factors in -€11.4 million of financial income and
expenses, including -€5.8 million for the cost of net financial
debt, -€4.1 million of financial expenses on lease liabilities
(IFRS 16), and -€1.5 million of other net financial expenses linked
mainly to the cancellation of a local credit line in connection
with Brumbrum’s integration.
CASH FLOW AND
FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
In addition to the Group’s return to a positive
adjusted EBITDA, FY 2023 was also characterized by a return to
positive cash generation before factoring in cash outflows relating
to the acquisitions of companies. This performance was achieved
thanks in particular to the Group’s strong focus on inventory
management and therefore the effective management of operating
working capital requirements.

Inventory represented €220.3 million on
September 30, 2023. The €35.5 million increase compared with
September 30, 2022, is linked to the inclusion of the new
subsidiaries in Aramis Group’s basis for consolidation, while
inventory levels for the 2022 scope show a slight decrease. The
Group has carried out extensive work to rationalize the inventory
of Onlinecars, the company acquired at the start of FY 2023 in
Austria, reducing local vehicle stock levels by around €17 million.
In all its other subsidiaries, Aramis Group has also worked to keep
its inventory at levels that are effectively in line with demand
and ensure the level of its gross profit per unit (GPU).
The impact of the scope effects on operating
working capital requirements represents €46.5 million. The cash
impact of the change in operating working capital requirements over
the period corresponds to €32.0 million of cash generation. The
level of operating working capital requirements on September 30,
2023, represents 31 days of revenues, stable compared with
September 30, 2022, and showing a significant improvement compared
with the 37 days reported on March 31, 2023.

Net debt on September 30, 2023, represented
€82.3 million, up +€63.9 million compared with September 30, 2022,
but down -€27.8 million compared with March 31, 2023.
The increase compared with September 30, 2022,
covers:
- €67.9 million for a scope effect
relating to the acquisitions of companies, with €30.9 million paid
out to buy these companies (including €2.1 million of costs linked
to carrying out these operations) and €37.0 million for the
consolidation of the debt recorded on the balance sheets of these
companies when they were acquired;
- €3.9 million of net cash generation
for the year.
The cash generation from operations over the
period amounted to +€39.8 million. This was driven by the
contribution from the positive adjusted EBITDA recorded and the
change in operating working capital requirements as explained
previously.
Cash consumption from investments totaled -€44.5
million. In addition to the amounts paid out to acquire
subsidiaries, it includes -€19.7 million of capex aiming to develop
new refurbishing capacity and the Group’s digital ecosystem,
representing 1% of revenues in line with the Group’s
commitments.
Lastly, financing-related cash consumption
totaled -€22.3 million, primarily including IFRS 16 lease charges
and interest paid over the period.
The Group’s balance sheet positions remain under
control, with Aramis Group benefiting from €181 million of equity
on September 30, 2023. The Group also had €173 million of undrawn
credit lines without any conditions on September 30, 2023,
including 57% with its majority shareholder, the Stellantis
Group.
OUTLOOK
Despite a still uncertain macroeconomic
environment, Aramis Group is approaching its FY 2024 with
confidence, and the start of the year is in line with the positive
trend observed in recent months. The Group also intends to maintain
a high level of discipline in managing costs and inventories across
all its subsidiaries, to ensure a profitable and controlled growth
trajectory.
The Group has set the following objectives for
its FY 2024:
-
To sell volumes of B2C vehicles in excess of the 100,000 units
milestone, at a constant perimeter;
-
To reach an Adjusted EBITDA at least twice as high as that achieved
in 2023.
Furthermore, in 2024 the Group will provide an
update on its medium and long-term outlook, in line with the new
market paradigm.
