- The continued development of our ecommerce service offering aimed at SMEs, the fastest-growing segment in the Polish e-commerce market, allows us to achieve record financial results. Year-to-date revenues are up 65% year-on-year, which is much higher than the broad market shows, achieved despite the high base associated with the pandemic boom in online commerce in 2020. EBITDA after 9 months of 2021 is already higher by PLN 0.2 million than that recorded last year, and we are facing the most intense quarter of the year for ecommerce, i.e. Black Week and the holiday period, " comments Marcin Kuśmierz, CEO of Shoper.

- In terms of the last 12 months, GMV Shoper has already clearly surpassed the 5 billion PLN mark, growing 56% year-on-year to a record 5.4 billion PLN. It is not only our platform and the wide range of services offered for ecommerce that is growing, but above all the stores that use our solutions. After the acquisition of Shoplo in August, both the number of our supported stores and their potential for further growth have increased even more. In the coming weeks, we plan to introduce completely new services that we are developing in the newly created business areas - Commerce Cloud and Financial Services. We are also constantly investing in the development of our teams in order to ensure the company's dynamic growth in the coming periods as well,"adds Marcin Kuśmierz.
