Rocket Internet narrows losses, boosts sales at key startups


BERLIN: Rocket Internet SE increased sales and shrank losses at some of its biggest startups, bringing the company closer to a target of having three of its main investments break even by the end of this year.

Food-box startup HelloFresh boosted sales 49% to 158.7 million euros (US$173mil) in the fourth quarter. Adjusted losses before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization narrowed at businesses including HelloFresh, Global Fashion Group and Dafiti, Rocket said yesterday. Overall, Rocket reported a loss of 741.5 million euros for 2016, weighed down by impairment charges and deconsolidation of subsidiaries.
