Adjusted EBITDA for the period increased 133% to 177 million euros, from the prior year, driven by gross margin growth.
The company said it processed 257 million orders in the first six months of 2020, representing a 32% increase from last year, driven by strong accelerated order growth in the second quarter of 2020.
Like-for-like total revenue was 1.031 million euros in the first six months of 2020, a 44% increase from €715 million in the first half of 2019.
