GMV rose 18% YoY to SEK 567.5m; September growth accelerated to 32% following product-feed improvements.
Reported EBITDA was -SEK 5.4m; adjusted EBITDA was SEK 1.0m after SEK 6.4m of final 1P closure costs.
Marketplaces served 3.04m active customers and recorded 100m annual visits; Nordic marketplace share was cited at 10% versus over 50% globally.
Financial highlights
Net sales rose 3% to SEK 113.4m; gross profit increased 11% to SEK 103.0m.
GPAM was SEK 47.1m, down 10%; comparable GPAM was SEK 52.9m, up 1%, excluding 1P costs and brand marketing.

Outlook and guidance
Q4 focus is converting volume into profit through Black Week, Christmas and further product-data-service rollouts; operating leverage is expected toward year-end.
The 2027 ambition remains EBITDA approaching SEK 100m; GPAM may grow more slowly than GMV while increasing in absolute terms.
October 1–20 MTD GMV growth was 28%, based on demand data not directly comparable with reported figures.
Growth and brand investments are expected to continue at current levels, without a major further step-up.
